The Plasir Sucre is to me, the god grand father of all
royaltine hazelnut or any chocolate crunch gateau. In fact, I highly recommend anyone
who has not try PH pastries at all to get this instead of the Ispahan Macaron. Hazelnuts called the shots here but they aren’t those
churned out simply from your nutella jar at home. Dense, nutty, sweet, milky,
two classic long pipes sandwiched with beautifully tempered paper-thin
chocolate sheets on hazelnut dacquoise. This is truly Life’s Sweet
Pleasures!
Millefeuille
Infiniment Citron (Caramelized pie, lemon chantilly cream, lemon marmalade,
lemon sable)
I
have been forewarned of the tartness, having tried the Emoticon Citron that
made my faced cringed several years ago. I decided to try this when it came out
during the Fetish Citron--the last PH themed series I could get my hands on
before I flew back, though I wished Master Pierre could be more creative and
not recycle the same old ideas for his Fetishes every year.
However, this
Millefeuille was no less excellent than the previous millefeuilles I've had.
Superbly crunchy pie that did not fool around with the flawlessly acidity
cream. Sable in a Millefeuille? Not a problem when it comes to the hands of his
Japanese disciples at the local kitchens. Just look at that dehydrated candied lemon!
This
is definitely not the best St Honore in town. Yet I would live in regrets
without ever trying a St Honore from PH. Below the caramelized puff pastry ring
is a lemon-infused sable whose citrusy notes couldn’t etch in my memory.
Lemon
cream, lemon puree, lemon-infused Chantilly cream…you might think this is too
much lemon in a single creation but the surprising truth is, it is not. I don't
think one needs to have a fetish for citron food to love this. But I would be
happier to try a pure Chocolate or Pistachio one!
