My all-time favourite is the cakes in Paul Lafayet! So we went to this shop in Causewaybay after dinner, and on this weekday, only 1 of the two tables are occupied and we quickly grabbed a seat!
As birthday girl always has the say (jokingly! haha!), definitely i want Creme Brulee and my friends ordered the rest of these cakes:-
raspberry chocolate dome & raspberry macaroon
Raspberry Chocolate Dome: I havent tried this version of chocolate dome before and it gives me surprise indeed. The molten chocolate layer outside is as rich and not very sweet as usual, and when you taste on, the soft texture of the cake inside and the raspberry sauce inside the dome melted together and melted us too! Raspberry Macaroon This bigger version of raspberry macaroon wouldnt be appealing to everybody, frankly it tastes a bit like the Hand Cream in Crabtree & Evelyn (although I didnt really taste it!) but the smell of the whole dessert is like those hand cream, beware! haha, the raspberries inside it are really fresh, I just don't really like the cream accompanying it though.
creme brulee** & strawberry tart
Creme Brulee My all time favourite and it never disappoints me! The hard texture on top and the softness of the middle layer defines what really means by the vanilla flavour and how caramel actually mixes well with vanilla and eggs!! Plus, you'd find vanilla seed at the bottom of the dish, very rare indeed in town!
Strawberry Tart The shopkeeper claims that the tart crust is imported from France, and although I really cant taste the difference, it is indeed a very fresh dessert to try! The strawberries are fresh and they are not softened by sugar water like those in town (cos they're a bit sour!). Still, if you opt for things that are less sweet, this would be a great choice.
As usual, I'm feeling very contented after eating all the greatly crafted desserts in Paul Lafayet!

Tips: if you like the wooden container printed "Paul Lafayet" when you finished the creme brulee, ask the shopkeeper and they will give you a new one to bring it home!
