Pierre Herme was always on the top of my must-go-to list whenever I was in London, so I was very excited when I heard that they'll open a store at IFC. I missed their unique flavours, especially white truffle! Hopefully that'll come to HK in the winter. I got hold of a box of macarons on their opening day. Their staff informed me that the macarons were sold with gift boxes. A box of 7 macarons cost HKD 210, and a box of 12 costs HKD 330.I was slightly disappointed because the macarons were abit
I got hold of a box of macarons on their opening day. Their staff informed me that the macarons were sold with gift boxes. A box of 7 macarons cost HKD 210, and a box of 12 costs HKD 330.
I was slightly disappointed because the macarons were abit soft and easy to crumble. This was probably due to the humidity, and it was pretty humid for the first few days of its opening. (I made another visit a week later and this problem was gone.) The fillings for the macaron were perfection. I especially love the Rose and Creme Brulee ones. The creme brulee seemed abit sweeter than the ones I used to have, however it was still a lot better than its competitors.
The Inifiniment Chocolate Perou macaron will definitely be popular amongst dark chocolate fans. One of the best chocolate macarons I've tasted (the other would be Jean Paul's dark chocolate macaron). The Celeste macaron was another favourite. It's very fruity, with strong flavours of passion fruit and strawberry.
I had this olive oil and vanilla macaron during my second visit. The filling was generous and the taste of olive oil was unique. I like how this is a twist of the usual vanilla macaron. It did get a bit oily after I left the macaron out for a while.
A flavour which was limited to Asian countries is Imagine - a green tea and sesame macaron. One side of the biscuit was green tea, whereas the other side was topped with sesame. The filling was a mixture of both, so there was one thin layer of green tea and another of black sesame. This was one of the flavours which weren't very sweet, so you could easily devour a few and still have space for more. Overall, I can't be happier that Pierre Herme has finally opened a shop in HK. I will definitely go back for more. Hopefully they could sell them by piece, so that I could get one or two whenever I pass by.
