Come eat my Sunday

Sunday kicked off with rustic bread and chestnut spread in the morning, followed by black coffee for quick caffeine boast. An hour later, I was stuffing myself with delicious and irresistable nougat candies and lost counts of how many I had eaten. Lunch was parma ham and tomato on baguette. Later I dropped by Hui Lau Shan for melon juice with aloe jelly. Late afternoon, I shared a salted caramel tart and chocolate cappuccino dome with G. Finally, full dinner served by personal chef of ex-China prime minister. OMG...my mouth has been nonstop for the whole day.. isn't this my typical Sunday?!...

Tasting Joel Robuchon's dessert is always an adventure, despite dainty in size but pack with surprising flavors.

Salted caramel tart on the left - the fleur de sel enlivens the buttery taste of caramel and mingles well with the toffee found within layers of sweet cream, my favorite! =P

Chocolate cappuccino cake on the right - light and fluffy truffle cake, my favoriate ingredients of chocolate, coffee, chiffon cake all in one!















Our Yangzhou dinner "揚州御宴" at 上海綠楊 was prepared by renowned personal chef of ex-Prime Minister Jiang. 御宴 means dinner for royal family. This time, we, the twenty sth guys and girls, are the royal families and even summoned the chef for questioning at the end of the dinner. Food was delicious and delicate, similar to Jiangsu cuisine but lighter in flavors. We were amazed by the craftsmanship and artistic presentation. Not a lot of extravegant ingredients but simplicity rules all.
