适逢圣诞佳节，与两位Openrice好友聚餐联谊之际，最惊喜o既就系收到K哥送赠o既圣诞朱古力 ；XO仔同契妹一人一盒，嘻嘻，做细o既真系幸福！据K哥所讲，圣诞朱古力购自尖沙咀一家名比利时店Frederic Blondeel，品牌名称正正就系老板本人之姓名。上网了解过，原来Frederic Blondeel先生o既厨艺旅程始于法国，并曾于名流餐室担任厨师，约二十年前才移居比利时，创立自己o既工作室，醉心研制不同口味o既朱古力产品，献身予朱古力界 。其朱古力制品不但有多种形态，如条状、粒状、圆形、方形、心形、软身、硬身等，同时亦好多元化，有jam、bar、paste、praline、truffle、ganache等，选料毫不马虎之余，制作过程全由培烘可可豆起，每个步骤都非常严谨。K哥有心又细心，深知XO对花生及果仁敏感，购物时千叮万嘱售货员姐姐要避免放入任何含花生或其他果仁之朱古力品，姐姐仔亦有照做，并体贴地于盒底加上「no nuts」标签，令小肥感动上感动 。细佬虽未有亲临店舖，但单凭细阅网络资讯及细听K哥讲述购物经过已可感觉朱古力店认真之制作精神及贴身之服务态度。所谓「独食难肥」，属小肥o既XO仔当然系好少会独食啦 ，食朱古力更必定与同样热爱朱古力o既靓靓妈咪分享。妈咪为提子迷，好快就拣选咗粒「Marinique / 香料提子冧酒 / Rum & Raisin with Spices」，更大赞味道香醇，不过最开心就系其黑朱古力外层不易惹痰 ，令佢可放心食多两粒「Papouasie 73% / 3%巴布亚新机内亚纯黑朱古力/ 73% Papua New Guinea」及「Fredericissime / 70%委内瑞拉纯黑朱古力/ 70% Venezuela Dark」！两粒纯黑朱古力比较下，妈咪较欣赏朱古力味更为醇浓o既「Fredericissime」，反则略嫌「Papouasie 73%」带阵咖啡拖肥味。XO仔就食咗三粒花果味朱古力「Orange/香橙」、「Lime/青柠」同「Rose/玫瑰」。正如妈咪所讲，名店Frederic Blondeel出品o既朱古力粒粒香浓幼滑，食完不但唔惹痰，一口气食咗三粒之后，小肥极度敏感o既牙齿亦丝毫不痛 ！个人觉得，三款当中以「Rose」最为特别、清丽、芳香及高雅，送礼自用同属佳品 ！「Orange」甜得黎仍带有丁点儿香气，属不错之选，但「Lime」o既酸味同甜味两者都有少少过火，未有造出互相中和o既效果，所以未能取悦细佬。多谢K哥精心挑选o既圣诞礼物，让XO仔认识到比利时名牌朱古力，为味蕾增添快感，圣诞更富色彩气氛，Merry Christmas ！

The other day when I was around the neighborhood for some smile fozen yogurt, I revisted this hidden gem in K11! I indulged in perhaps too many pieces at once (guilty) but they are truly heavenly Here are some of my favorites: Sao tome chocolate: I sampled the sao tome dark chocolate and fell in love with it instantly...I decided to fill my box with a lot of them... It's a very rich and fudge-like dark chocolate with 75% cocoa content. Green tea chocolate: the green tea is very fragrant (not to confused with matcha) yet very light and refreshing. A bit bummed that it only comes in milk chocolate. Cassonade truffle: I generally prefer chocolate squares over truffles but the crunchy truffle "Cassonade" they serve here are quite interesting since the outer layer is caramelized. I would highly recommend this one it's indeed quite uniqueIrish Coffee truffle: The is definitely my FA-VO-RITE alcohol chocolate!!!!!! Very very smooth irish coffee whiskey blended with the rich and creamy milk chocolate ganache filling; the alcohol is very strong but it works perfectly with the chocolate and balances out its sweetnessDried fruit mendiant: My mom tried the dried fruit mendiant and she really liked the apricot The staff was helpful and offered some samples, but when I requested to try truffles they said its not available for sampling :S

This is my 2nd visit to Frederic Blondeel since my first visit during the Chocolate Trail! I was amazed and impressed by their high quality chocolates which I did not have a 2nd chance to try again since then.I remember the sales described themselves as a local favourite in Belgium with truly authentic taste of Belgium.Passing through the MTR exit in K11, I saw their store has opened in K11 with many new products.As I was in a hurry, I was quickly convinced by the sales to buy these 3 new products:Their new products didnt disappoint me, especially the chocolate bark, its very fresh. I bought the Chocolate spread for my mum (which loves nutella so much), she said thats pretty good. The little cake was quite interesting, but I didnt have a second bite as my family finished them quickly.
