Le Canele D'or (非門市)

Tried the caneles at friends’ dinner party. I was blown away. The caramerlized top, the texture, the flavor. Everything was so special. So today some other friends are visiting from out of town and I’m ordering a box to be delivered to their hotel room. I’m ordering a box for myself while I’m at it. Yummmmmmm!!! 继续阅读

I tried the assorted taste so I can feel the 5  different tastes !The flavors is pleasant and mild  when I unwrap the beautiful box.They are not too sugary so I really like it,  I esp. love the  tender texture at centre with the cripsy skin...it's almost perfect! 继续阅读

There was new Lunar New Year market this year called Mart In Hong Kong. Boyfriend and I were there to look around and eat some of the snacks there.While walking around, I found one stand called Le Canele D'or. A French couple run this online shop that makes caneles. A French pastry that has a caramelized exterior and custardy interior. This pastry hails from the Bordeaux area. And this company bakes them the traditional way including using copper molds from France. They were selling mini versions for 3 for $20 or a larger version for $20 each. Curious, as I have yet to find a good canele in Hong Kong, I decided to get the larger one.There were two flavors:  vanilla rum on the left and orange Grand Mariner on the right. BOOZY sweets! My fave! These were wonderful. A nice caramelization. The inside was soft and tender. The vanilla rum was strong in vanilla and wasn't too sweet. However, the winner was the orange Grand Mariner. Fragrant and richly sweet that was balanced by the bitterness of the candied orange peels. I wish at that moment, I was not eating them at the park and had a cup of coffee to go with them!Fantastic caneles that are not easy to find in Hong Kong. The staff was friendly and informed me that they not only do online ordering but they now offer them at IFC's CitySuper. I'll have to find them next time I'm in IFC and buy some home! 继续阅读

Canelés是一款法式甜点来自一个叫波尔多的地方笔者曾经在一家餐厅尝过 十分喜欢有想过自家制作但铜制模具在香港不易找而且要造到外脆内软的效果其实不容易早前在k11的法式市集再次遇到是一家网店的制作有供应给本地的餐厅造得相当好外层的焦糖部分焗得脆而不会太硬不会过度烧焦亦不会过甜内里则是松软的云尼拿和冧酒味道口感叫入难忘假若碰见 不妨一试不过若是在网上预订的话比较建议提早致给店主因为是小本制作而店主又是十分随心的法国人交收方面安排得其实有点缓慢 继续阅读

It was my first time going to a Wine and Dine event Thanks to Openrice’s Wine and Dine guest passes.Before you go in, you are given a starter bag which contains a wine glass and a booklet of coupons for free wine and food tasting.There are two types of food coupons depending on your pass, the ones I got were VIP coupons which entitles you to full portions of food according to the information and the normal ones are worth $10 per coupon.It was confusing at first because I have not attended this before and some booths were mind boggled by these coupons, some treated these VIP coupons for half portions, and some treated them as being worth $10 so I did not the coupons on these booths.Le Canele D'or does not do retail and only takes orders for delivery so this was one of the booths I had to try.There are three flavours: Traditional (vanilla/rum), Mediterranean (orange zest/liquor), Irish (coffee/whisky)The boxes for these Canelés were quite classy.At this booth, I used one VIP coupon on one cocktail sized canele.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★Traditional (vanilla/rum) canelé:The canele was quite hard with a bitter caramelized crust and inside it was quite sweet and chewy.I was expecting the middle to be eggy and soft but it was not.It is similar to eating the burnt edges of a bread and butter pudding.★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ 继续阅读
