I was quite pleased with the sakura cheesecake I had last time (http://www.openrice.com/restaurant/commentdetail.htm?commentid=1992280), so this time I decided to order two more pieces to share with my friends on top of the cheesecake.

Mont-Blanc was gorgeously covered with strands of chestnut mousse, a half of a sweetened chestnut, plus two biscuits on the side. The chestnut flavor wasn’t very strong, and everything was pretty quite delicious though nothing blew me away. The more surprising part was the raspberry filling inside, which provided a nice hint of citrus tang and was a refreshing complement to the chestnut components. Similar to most of their offerings, the mont-blanc was not overly sweet, which is something I always appreciate as I am not really a sweet fanatic.

The cream puff has a very creamy and custardy innards, not as airy as Beard Papa's, but more dense and velvety in texture. The puff was sadly a bit too chewy as it wasn’t freshly made. Otherwise this would be another great option for a non-chocolaty dessert.

Share desserts with friends - that's the real sweet part

Sakura (cherry blossoms) and I were love at first sight. Ever since I saw the real sakura in Japan, its extreme beauty and its dreamy blush captured my heart. Every year I visited Central Park in New York for the annual Sakura Festival. That is, until, this year, when I am back in Hong Kong.

Fortunately, my yearning for sakura was partially relieved by Konditorei Gute. Their small sakura cheesecake ($25/pc) was delicate and elegantly decorated with pickled sakura buds (桜漬け) on top. It was a piece of eye-candy and I felt almost guilty to cut it apart. The pink jelly had a very light fruity flavor, and when combined with the slightly tart cheesecake mousse and the thin layer of sponge cake, it was refreshing and comforting at the same time. The cheesecake mousse had a custardy texture that was airy and creamy. I tried to savor every bite, as like sakura itself, this small cake only lasted for a short time. I am planning to get the large sakura cake ($180/lb) very soon, before the sakura season ends this year.

Although sakura itself doesn’t last long, I picked up a bottle of 桜のお塩(sakura salt) at City'Super. It was a combination of salt, bits of sakura flowers and leaves, ゆず(柚子), and しそ梅酢 (shiso plum vinegar). Sakura is almost flavorless on its own, but the yuzu and shiso plum provide a hint of refreshing sourness to complement the salty note. I have already used it for tempura, fried food, and on grilled seafood, and a tiny sprinkle or dip of the pinkish salt not only adds flavor but color as well. This 桜のお塩 was definitely a pleasant discovery, and I know this bottle will last for a long long time.

正月十三‧晴

翌日已經要比賽，根據教練的錦囊，是日要吃一排朱古力，儘量增加能量。在去citysuper買朱古力的途中，見到這個半月型的朱古力餅幾得意，吃埋無壞。

賣相很精美，包裝也一絲不苟的。吃起來面層是濃濃的牛奶朱古力，不苦卻很香甜。內裡是橙味的朱古力慕絲，也是很濃郁的。平日的我，必會吃到牙軟，但是日又好像吃得幾合胃口，因為知道要為自己fuel up！

32蚊一件，不便宜，而甜牙齒必喜歡。

小小的布甸真的很好味，味道濃郁，
雖然小小的，但份量剛剛好，
買回來後記住要快食，若果在室溫放得太耐，就無左creamy 既 效果！

果樽仔可以留起，第日自己有時間，可作甜品樽用，very good!!!!

一條$100的糙米卷疍，疍糕身滑但不軟，沒有半點米香味。Cream是OK的，但無花果也沒有應有的果香。即使如它盒上說採用上等原材料，也值不過$50。

十月十六日(星期四)

很期待上海之旅呢!!今日便是出發前一日了!....昨日回家途中買了Gute的芝麻提子包!...

想不出的好吃呢!..麵包是硬身的!麵包皮佈滿芝麻!

最出奇的好吃是提子!當中有40%是用了特別的提子做的!

分外的香!愛吃提子的朋友不可錯過呢!...當然一分錢一分貨呢!盛惠19元四塊.....

黑森林蛋糕$28:細細件,樣子幾別緻,有幾塊朱古力薄片圍著四周,但好易溶,故當回家後打開紙盒,朱古力薄片已支離破碎;
蛋糕本身,朱古力味不算濃,而cream比較少,水準一般;
不過買來哄朋友開心都值得,因朋友不能吃芝士,不喜歡cream,此蛋糕較適合他

黑芝麻, 丹波黑豆, 竹炭加在一起. 你會想到什麼?

就是 The BLACK Roulade 竹炭芝麻黑豆卷 .....

在尖咀海港城 Citysuper 看到這款特別蛋糕被它吸引住, 橫豎當日是朋友的大好日子, 一於買下它作為生日禮物 (不要再說我偏心了). 雖然蛋糕是黑色的, 但牛一朋友為人百無禁忌, 怕什麼!

其實好想再買焦糖吉士布丁的說......

這個瑞士卷加入竹炭做成, 內有黑芝麻忌廉, 丹波黑豆粒和紅豆粒. 卷物質地挺身實在, 味道不太甜, 黑芝麻忌廉還有沙沙的口感, 很有趣. 可惜當日在泰豐廔吃得太飽, 大家只好慢慢地吃完它.

上次食過此店既PUFF一直都心思思想再食..難得經過此店更係要買來食..之前俾日藉太太一次買左4個, 原本想買3個都無, 最終都係買左2個回家食.
不過唔知係咪期望太大, 今次食個PUFF又好似無上次咁正.明明上次個PUFF面都好脆D CREAM又唔甜又帶少少ALMOND, 今次就完全唔同個PUFF又唔脆D CREAM有甜又無ALMOND真係有點失望..不過我都會再俾多一次機會佢, 下次再去就只買一個試吓啦.

今天去尖咀"CT濕扒"補倉,見到呢度又有新口味卷蛋:竹炭芝麻黑豆卷.想買來試下.點知個蛋糕櫃係無呢樣№ o既!問了sales,佢地話今日係第一日推出,但因沒有入太多貨,所以一display出來便賣晒..(纒 ?有無搞錯?)雖然佢地say晒sorry,但想要時又無的心情其實都幾"無癮"..... 我後來多口問仲有邊度有得賣,佢地話圓方那邊的"姊妹店"也有.見o甘近,便去了一趟.哈!去到(約7pm)還有一條,我二話不說帶佢走! (yeah!!!!!!)

食喇食喇..yum yum... 竹炭粉本身無味,但減少了蛋糕部份的甜(和以前食開的原味卷相比),跟甜黑豆,黑芝麻忌廉一齊食很OK呀!芝麻cream好香.屋企人見到條卷個個都話型爆!好彩買到嗟!

話說過年既時候~~~瀧澤san 好好人咁買左名店禮盒上黎拜年~~~
我呢d 為食鬼梗係第一時間拆禮物~~~
個盒真係超靚~~~包裝超好~~~
大家一致認為呢盒野一定係佢老婆大人買~~~~
見咁靚梗係開黎食下.....
唔食尤自可.....仲有多d幻想....
一食果個曲奇餅....即刻夢想幻滅.....
硬到好似BB既牙仔餅咁.....
佢除左D金貝蛋糕好好味之外...
所有餅都真係一般得好緊要~~~
完全做唔到鬆化呢回事......

藍莓芝士撻$25 ~ 一點芝士味也沒有,整個達我只愛它的餅底.

行完citysuper無野買, 最後去左買甜品回家食先..其實個胃已經好痛無咩心機, 不過見到甜品又忍不住要去買左試吓, 我見到個puff好吸引就叫左一個puff再見到個pudding用個樽仔裝好靚又買埋回家即刻試吓估唔到d pudding真係好滑又唔係太甜, 只係或部唔知係咪焦糖呢我就覺得麻麻地...總之下次一經尖沙咀都要去此店買個pudding食吓先..(至於個puff我太快食左又忘記影相, 不過可以話一流入面d cream好滑好正外層好似有d almond既味道真係唔錯唔錯)

主人一看見就想試試這款甜品，經過奴隸獸的推波助瀾，終於買了這瓶焦糖吉士布丁（HK$22）。

食落口感頗滑，不過有少少黏口。蛋味非常濃郁，不太甜，主人話好~~好~~味~~呀！

jan 11, 08,買了2件,3人在food court內瓜分咗佢

1) blueberry cheese cake
-重芝士味,但質地都軟,近底用上了好多藍莓,good
-只是細件咗d同貴咗d

2) puff with almond
-個皮食落無蛋香,而且好似唔多新鮮
-個cream好滑,不錯

- 個盒好簡約,而且好挺身,個設計同紙質有d似中環置地嘅Le Salon De The & La Bouxxxxx,只喺佢用白色

- 見其他食家話佢個朱古力mousse cake,栗子撻同焦糖布丁都好好味,下次先
