收到 Vero 的電郵邀請前往參觀以 "5 Senses" 為主題的介紹會。

看著地址,行行重行行,到了該座建築物門前也不知就在樓上,幸好見到有人拿著 Vero 的紙抽出來才知道。

今次所介紹之 5 Senses 是包括五類產品:
"5" Spring Summer Collection
"5" Elements
"5" Mariage Freres teas & pastries
"5" Xocolatl chocolate drinks
"5" Lavazza coffees

"5" Spring Summer Collection 是春夏系列的五種朱古力:
Apple & thyme 蘋果加百里香,有果肉,幾夾
Honey mustard 蜜糖加芥辣,不辣,但英國芥辣味很勁,可能加一粒落牛排同吃都得
Mango & kaffir lime 芒果加一種類似香茅的植物,中間有芒果蓉,味道新穎
Banana & mint 香蕉加薄荷,新配搭,新口味,都幾襯
White forest 白朱古力,較普通
全部細細粒粒,慢慢嗒真的味,是一種享受。

"5" Elements 以五行,「金、木、水、火、土」為主題的朱古力:
為免偏差,先以英文原文列出其材料:

Gold: Orange comfit & honey comb
金:蜜餞橙肉和蜜糖,賣相似有金粒藏在朱古力內,充份凸顯主題。

Wood: 70% dark chocolate coated with cinnamon & cocoa nibs
木:肉桂味幾香,肉桂是樹皮,貼題。

Water: 70% dark chocolate coated with seaweed & sea salt
水:加了海草和海鹽,鹹鹹地,又幾得。

Fire: Dried raspberry, chili power, white chocolate
火:白朱古力加乾紅莓,辣椒粉,可能是想寫 chili powder,但也感覺到其 power,味道幾新奇。

Earth: 70% dark chocolate coated with dried raisin, cranberry, organic oatmeal & prune
土:加了提子乾,有機麥,西梅等,材料較普通,建議用番薯、花生、芋頭等較能表現出「土」的特性。

"5" Mariage Freres teas & pastries
介紹法國無咖啡因的五款茶包和餅食,茶味清香,顏色琥珀,值得捧場,朱古力餅食很精采,有Double chocolate,Passion fruit 等,而印象最難忘的是夾有芋頭椰汁層的朱古力蛋糕,將芋頭椰汁製成一層軟軟的薄夾心,與濃厚的朱古力互相輝映,好味到不能形容,我添食了三次。

"5" Xocolatl chocolate drinks
今次祇介紹五款朱古力凍飲,沒有熱飲。試了白朱古力加乳酸,見其餘頗多忌廉放面,自己不敢放肆,點到即止。

"5" Lavazza coffees
以 Lavazza 咖啡創作五款新穎飲品,較有印象的是用份子料理將咖啡製成魚子醬,另將咖啡與脫脂奶打成泡,與「魚子醬」同吃,但味道太淡;另一款是用牛油梨打成雪糕,放凍咖啡同吃,下置些少磨碎的咖啡豆,雪糕很清香軟滑,其餘沒有試。咖啡機小巧方便,按一掣即有靚咖啡。

離開時,店方每人派了一紙手抽禮品,包括有 Lavazza 咖啡粉一包,春夏系列之朱古力兩粒,茶包兩個及一些介紹 Vero 和 Lavazza 的資料,在此謝過。

公關小姐很落力,服務員很耐心講解,是次介紹會很成功,產品的確是優質,而創意更是有突破,日後自己會來試其最基本的熱朱古力。

甜魔S生日,終於有機會(其實是藉口)去朝拜近半年風頭好犀利的Vero。由地鐵站一路行,沿路只見到一個又一個的地盤,去到分域碼頭後又爭D以為未到繼續行...真的好難搵呢,連牌都唔整個出來,真係唔係人介紹都一定唔會知道。去到第一時間唔係睇餐牌,而係影相! 入左個玻璃房左影右影,有印左唔同品牌既朱古力,有朱古力整的大型可可豆,亦都有好出名的朱古力兵馬俑,仲有一個大咀鳥擺設添。整間房都有好香的朱古力味,好「心曠神怡」呀。整個餐廳都好寬闊,感覺好舒服優閒(當日係星期五下午,所以冇咩人),連個朱古力工場都闊過人而且好乾淨。一班大鄉里影完相後就返埋位研究一下枱上面既野。有一疊唔同的朱古力食譜,又有介紹佢地collection既卡,好有心思。搞左好耐先真正睇個餐牌,發現竟然有iced既hot chocolate,問一問究竟係咩一回事,佢就話其實即係凍朱古力上面有cream個隻...所以最後大家都係要了熱的Xocolati 70% drink。四個人仲叫左個brownie同winter collection。始終影食物都係close up影好D,所以睇食友們既相以為杯Xocolati 70% drink

甜魔S生日,終於有機會(其實是藉口)去朝拜近半年風頭好犀利的Vero。由地鐵站一路行,沿路只見到一個又一個的地盤,去到分域碼頭後又爭D以為未到繼續行...真的好難搵呢,連牌都唔整個出來,真係唔係人介紹都一定唔會知道。

去到第一時間唔係睇餐牌,而係影相! 入左個玻璃房左影右影,有印左唔同品牌既朱古力,有朱古力整的大型可可豆,亦都有好出名的朱古力兵馬俑,仲有一個大咀鳥擺設添。整間房都有好香的朱古力味,好「心曠神怡」呀
。整個餐廳都好寬闊,感覺好舒服優閒(當日係星期五下午,所以冇咩人),連個朱古力工場都闊過人而且好乾淨
。一班大鄉里影完相後就返埋位研究一下枱上面既野。有一疊唔同的朱古力食譜,又有介紹佢地collection既卡,好有心思。搞左好耐先真正睇個餐牌,發現竟然有iced既hot chocolate,問一問究竟係咩一回事,佢就話其實即係凍朱古力上面有cream個隻...所以最後大家都係要了熱的Xocolati 70% drink。四個人仲叫左個brownie同winter collection。

始終影食物都係close up影好D,所以睇食友們既相以為杯Xocolati 70% drink都幾大杯,但原來係勁細的
。而且食友們都話Xocolati面頭塊朱古力等一陣先溶,但我地個D上枱後唔夠十秒就溶晒,想影相都唔得-_-。搞混之前先試試面頭的溶朱古力,好濃郁的dark chocolate
。搞混後再飲,都係好濃郁的朱古力味,有少少的raspberry味,好正! 好濃的關係,其實依個size係啱啱好的,如果再大杯D可能會好漏。

之後brownie來到,原來係事先包裝的...唔係新鮮的亦都冇烘返佢,有點兒失望。四個人分細細舊的brownie,用來點杯hot chocolate...風頭畀晒D朱古力溶漿搶過晒,brownie很多的果仁而且鬆軟,不是我喜歡的brownie,對其印象不太深刻。

店員們都對佢地既出品有相當高的認識,好詳細咁講解唔同食品既特點等等。佢地都好極力推介佢地新推出的spring/summer collection,全部都係味道比較特別的朱古力,如ginger等(其他唔係太記得了
),但最後安全起見都係叫了較正常的autumn/winter collection,每一款都用了由世界各地來的材料,製作很認真。

又係照片的關係,實物比想像中細好多-_-,但賣相好特別,五粒朱古力係用溶左的朱古力固定係個碟上的(到最後我地本住「食得唔好嘥」的精神,刮埋D朱古力出來食
)。小弟揀左Pink Himalayan Caramel,caramel很幼滑,而出面的朱古力較苦,剛好中和左味道。試了小小Red Hazelnut同埋Apricot & Prune Scotch。前者幾香脆的,不錯,而後者則對佢冇咩印象。整體來說係幾好,但係唔係非常非常之出色呢,小弟又唔敢講...因為朱古力好細粒,而且有其他的味道係入面,真係試唔真D朱古力味。下次可能會試下D純朱古力,或者叫多杯野飲算啦。

其實掙扎左一陣應該畀笑臉定係OK好...但Xocolati 70% drink的確出色,而且環境好好(出面的地盤冇晒後應該會更好
),雖然價錢未必好吸引,但笑臉都好應該的

星期六到灣仔Vero食tea。餐廳位置較偏遠難找。雖面臨維港海景,但眼前的建築地盤已把景色大打折扣。店內環境清簡,桌子放置寬敞,以至座位不多,難怪有時需要排隊入座。先來一杯招牌熱朱古力奶($45)。薄薄嘅朱古力在熱乎乎嘅朱古力奶上,不消半分鐘已完全溶化,朱古力的香味亦同時慢慢溢出,的確是「色香」齊備。味道方面,也非常美味香濃。另一款raspberry朱古力奶($45),香甜中帶點酸味,味道較特別,不過都係classic嘅朱古力奶好味D。至於其他朱古力,試了Autumn Collection($68)及Premium Jar Collection($108)。Autumn Collection有五款朱古力,分別係Red Hazelnut、Apricot & Prune Scotch、Chinese Tangerine、Pink Himalayan Caramel及Calamansi Mallow(相片由左至右)。Premium Jar Collection選了Feuilletine Crunch、Sesame Pencils、Yoghurt Clusters、Orange Grissin

。另一款raspberry朱古力奶($45),香甜中帶點酸味,味道較特別,不過都係classic嘅朱古力奶好味D。

至於其他朱古力,試了Autumn Collection($68)及Premium Jar Collection($108)。Autumn Collection有五款朱古力,分別係Red Hazelnut、Apricot & Prune Scotch、Chinese Tangerine、Pink Himalayan Caramel及Calamansi Mallow(相片由左至右)。Premium Jar Collection選了Feuilletine Crunch、Sesame Pencils、Yoghurt Clusters、Orange Grissini及Lemon Drops(相片由左至右)。論賣相各款朱古力的確不俗;論味道,說實在的,又唔覺特別好食,也許味覺已變得fatigue罷!

其他甜品方面,亦試了Brownies($38)及Mango Mashmallow($15)。Brownies朱古力味道應很香濃,口感實在,但此店的Brownies則和平時吃的有少許不一樣。尤其係佢嘅texture,較鬆軟,而且有大大粒果仁在內。至於Mango Mashmallow,因朱古力味道太濃,已蓋過芒果嘅香味,而且味道過甜,一般啦!

總括來說,此店都係名氣行先,末試過的可以一試;試過的就末必再來了。

A friend of mine that I've been traveling with have just arrived in HK, both of us are big chocolate addicts. So we hunt out all the chocolate places.

First of all, plan out your trip here. It is a pain to look for this place.


Once we have arrived at the location, we walked up the spiral steps to the secluded chocolate shop. Inside is a very well lit and clean shop. With see through windows, so customers can get a look at the production (a common thing in chocolate shops).

There is also a tiny little glass "store" that showcases their items. We stand there waiting for someone to attend to us, not knowing what to do. The staff there looks us up and down a few times, but offers us no help. They instead continue on their ways. I work in the restaurant business and most of them don't seem to know what they are doing. There is a max of say 11 tables there, but they all seem busy and SLOW for no real reason.

So we finally get one of the staff to speak to us, he just tells us to find a seat. Problem being there are no tables. So we sat all the way towards the end, right in front of the bathroom. We waited 20 minutes to no avail, we couldn't catch anyone's attention.


So we opted to buy the chocolate and head off to taste somewhere else. The staff then juggles our order around for 20 minutes. One of the staff rolls her eyes at us, as if our business was not welcomed. She passes our order to someone else, who has no idea what he is doing. The order gets passed around to someone else again. Finally things are put together. Thinking that we can pay, the staff member scans and then makes us wait another 15 minutes to pay for our purchase... Everyone that was dining in to try the chocolate were waiting, a couple at the bar were waiting for a long time as well. We finally got our chocolates and left the place, GOOD RIDDANCE.


The chocolate items are nothing special and if anything OVERPRICED. The different flavor mallows are, mediocre at best. I've had similar items elsewhere with better service and price before. I traveled halfway around the world to try this place. Chocolate is usually bittersweet, but these chocolates left a sour taste in my mouth.

I do not recommend this to anyone, it is out of the way...overpriced... and served by a snobby inexperienced staff. The chocolates are nothing special. Expect to pay more than premium for their products. You also won't be able to tell where the cacao beans are from. Which most good chocolate shops will tell you the origin of the cacao beans.

Two months have already passed since the last time i wrote a review to VERO.
In these two months, i went there to try their new products sometimes, but only on weekdays. And this time, I came VERO on Saturday with my friend. To avoid any unnecessary waiting time, me and my friend decided to go there in the morning. Let chocolate to wake us from the rainy morning.

When we arrived there, almost 11am, there was no other customers. Either the bad weather or it was still early. But this also is the reason why we went there on morning.
The staff, Flora, has already recognised me when i just got into the shop. Don't know this is a good thing or not (repersent i am joblessness for long. lol). But it was feeling nice and warm to the customer who didn't go there often but still remember him/her.

Food that ordered:
Iced Chocolate, Hot Chocolate, Brownies, Cassis Marshmallow & Passion Fruit Marshmallow (看其他食家的圖吧)

Iced Chocolate (ordered by my friend) ---- presentation is beautiful. Chocolate at the bottom layer, cream mixed choclate in the middle layer, and cream + 爆炸糖的粒粒 on the top, plus a cookie for decoration. And the taste is still good.

Hot Chocolate (I ordered) ---- same presentation as usual. But this time, the flavour was a bit strong in sour, especially after eating Brownies

Brownies ---- Brownie for me, is fudgy, high density, no other ingredients (such as nuts etc..), very rich chocolate cake. The brownie's texture here can't be said fudgy or caky, but in between. it is the texture that we like. If i not remember wrongly, it contains nuts to rich the flavour and texture. Size is not small---almost like Sony Ericsson K750i's size, you will get full if you have it for snack i think.

Passion Fruit Marshmallow (Lollipop)
I quite like their passion fruit flavour, not too strong but fresh. and it just melted when you put it in month. Cassis flavour, i have no idea becuase i didn't try it.

We didn't have any other chocolate in their tasting meun this itme.

For those who come here on saturday afternoon, you must prepare for waiting quite a long time (ages???).

Got tempted by the photos of hot chocolate so decided to come for tea The hot chocolate was so thick in texture that it didn't seem like a "drink".

Got tempted by the photos of hot chocolate so decided to come for tea
The hot chocolate was so thick in texture that it didn't seem like a "drink". It was like eating a cupful of chocolate fondue, with strong hints of berry. A 70% dark chocolate disc melts into the cup as it is served and adds a bit of bitterness to balance the sweet fruity flavour of the hot chocolate. Not bad, although the chocolate used was a bit too sour for my liking.
The cold chocolate drink was a lot less fruity and although it was much richer than average cold chocolate on the market, it tasted much closer to what one would expect of a "standard" chocolate drink than the hot chocolate. After trying these 2 drinks (which I shared with 1 friend) I drank some water to clear my palate in preperation for trying some chocolates. I wish I had ordered the plain premium chocolate squares instead of these specialties from the "premium jar" collection because none of them really impressed me, perhaps except for the "premium sparks" variety which contained some "pop" candy that caused "sparks" in the mouth (not too strong though). The "mallows" chocolate was probably the most disappointing because although it was supposed to have "marshmallow" inside, I felt more like I was eating chalk wrapped in chocolate. The "marshmallow" was hard and flavourless.

By this time I felt like I've had enough chocolate to last me a week. But as I left I was not able to resist purchasing one of the cute lollipop shaped chocolate coated marshmallows in the little air-conditioined glass room. I bought myself the mango flavoured marshmallow that had "pop" candy sprinkled on one side. The "aftertaste" of this chocolate experience lasted for the rest of my day and to my surprise- although I thought that I'd scoffed down ENOUGH chocolate, I had an urge to have more chocolate as soon as I got home!
So glad that I bought the chocolate coated marshmallow at the end- because the chocolate coat was pretty nice (although the marshmallow didn't really have much taste of "mango") and satisfied my late night chocolate craving

Oh and because this place is at the Fenwick Pier you also get a harbour view.

究竟怎樣才算是一杯出色的熱朱古力 ?許多人說味夠濃稠是首要的條件。但若是濃杰得有如漿糊一樣的,又是否稱得上出色呢 ?口味這東西,真的是見仁見智,各有喜好的。要爭辯,真不知要從何說起....許多人大讚這兒的熱朱古力。小弟花了人生裡其中最寶貴的三小時去證實一下,不過其中的兩小時,是花在等候安排入座的喝下午茶本該有一個極悠閒的心態,但要花那麼長的時間等候,本來悠悠閒閒的,都變得極急躁了花數十塊錢喝一小杯hot chocolate,值不值得,可是很個人價值觀的問題。若來問我,小弟只可以說 : "在同區內的Robuchon也可以付出相約價錢來喝到同樣質素的,而且還可以叫一個全城最佳的croissant來伴吃。哪為什麼還要再花時間在此等候 ?"當然,這杯朱古力的水準還是不賴的。但若要花上如此時間精力才喝得到的話,那倒要重新考慮一下了....正所謂"牛唔飲水點按得牛頭低",有時候要吃美妙的東西,排一下隊也是無傷大雅的。但店方座位的安排卻是令人有點費解 ---- 一張大枱只安排一人就座,但一張四人枱卻坐着六七個人,這是甚麼道理 ?坐下來邊用羹"吃"着那朱古力,邊看着窗外那一大片填海中的土地,一臉茫然.

究竟怎樣才算是一杯出色的熱朱古力 ?

許多人說味夠濃稠是首要的條件。但若是濃杰得有如漿糊一樣的,又是否稱得上出色呢 ?

口味這東西,真的是見仁見智,各有喜好的。要爭辯,真不知要從何說起....

許多人大讚這兒的熱朱古力。小弟花了人生裡其中最寶貴的三小時去證實一下,不過其中的兩小時,是花在等候安排入座的
喝下午茶本該有一個極悠閒的心態,但要花那麼長的時間等候,本來悠悠閒閒的,都變得極急躁了


花數十塊錢喝一小杯hot chocolate,值不值得,可是很個人價值觀的問題。若來問我,小弟只可以說 : "在同區內的Robuchon也可以付出相約價錢來喝到同樣質素的,而且還可以叫一個全城最佳的croissant來伴吃。哪為什麼還要再花時間在此等候 ?"

當然,這杯朱古力的水準還是不賴的。但若要花上如此時間精力才喝得到的話,那倒要重新考慮一下了....

正所謂"牛唔飲水點按得牛頭低",有時候要吃美妙的東西,排一下隊也是無傷大雅的。但店方座位的安排卻是令人有點費解 ---- 一張大枱只安排一人就座,但一張四人枱卻坐着六七個人,這是甚麼道理 ?

坐下來邊用羹"吃"着那朱古力,邊看着窗外那一大片填海中的土地,一臉茫然...

下午茶,女友帶我去吃朱古力,她知我愛吃甜品。位置都好難找,入到去,格局我估係行高尚路線,店內坐位不多,有一個露台位,價格唔算高,點了熱朱古力,面頭有些金泊和士多啤梨朱古力,飲落口會有些核,味道好濃,都有70℅,仲有五件蛋糕,都幾有特色,味道幾好。其實我都愛吃朱古力,但吃了今次,我估我唔會再來,因為無回味,朱古力無驚喜,加上位置都偏僻,對外仲有個地盤,坐係幾舒服,但舒服地方好過尼間,仲有好多,朱古力好過尼間都有好多。

下午茶,女友帶我去吃朱古力,她知我愛吃甜品
位置都好難找,入到去,格局我估係行高尚路線,店內坐位不多,有一個露台位,
價格唔算高,點了熱朱古力,面頭有些金泊和士多啤梨朱古力,飲落口會有些核,
味道好濃,都有70℅,仲有五件蛋糕,都幾有特色,味道幾好。
其實我都愛吃朱古力,但吃了今次,我估我唔會再來,因為無回味,朱古力無驚喜,
加上位置都偏僻,對外仲有個地盤,坐係幾舒服,但舒服地方好過尼間,仲有好多,
朱古力好過尼間都有好多。

I support you fully, as a chocolate lover.
當我見到咁多人, 竟然試 jor 咁少嘢, 尤其係只試jor一杯 Xocolati dark 70%咁大把, 就咁肯定哋俾咁少分VERO, 我真係有啲覺得 UNFAIR & 對唔住 SHOP OWNER. (其實, 本人以前都係食物店的Owner/Partner.)
I've tried nearly all specialty chocolate shops available in Hong Kong -
Jean Paul Hevin (French), La Maison du Chocolat (French), Valrhona (French), Debaive & Gallais (French), Debailleu (Belgian/French), Mary's (Japan), Leonidas (Belgian), Godiva (Belgian), Teusner (Belgian), ROYCE (Japan), Antique (?), Agnes b (French), VERO (Hong Kong), etc, etc.

外國的,有Oriol Balaguer (Spanish, No.1 Chocolatier in the world?), Callebaut (Belgian/Swiss), Chocolat et Cacao (French chain shop, but under-rated), Neuhaus (Belgian, Godiva nemesis), Michel Cluizel (French Artisinal), Cacao (Australia), Pierre Herme (French), Amedei (Italian), Max Brenner (Israeli chain store), Koko Black (Belgian in Australia), etc, etc - also Nestle, Cadbury, Meiji, etc, of course. Cannot remember some Japanese ones I've tried in Japan, which were also good.
Some of the other most famous shops in France, however, I haven't tried, especially the Jean Paul Hevin 2 range and their Cheese/Chocolate products, Laduree, Michel Chaudun, Jacques Genin, etc
 
Impress 我的, 就只有 Jean Paul Hevin, Valrhona, Debaive & Gallais, Debailleu, Godiva, Neuhaus, ROYCE, Oriol Balaguer, Callebaut, Chocolat et Cacao (controversial!), Michel Cluizel (of course!), Cacao, Amedei (amazing), VERO.
The best of best? Jean Paul Hevin, Valrhona, Debaive and Gallais, Michel Cluizel, Amedei, VERO - that's also in that list. Seriously. 雖然, 平時我對食物的要求好好高的,踩多個囋,俾分又比較底, 但是我係公平的. 原全靠味覺評.就算全'無HK Patriotic心同同情心地講, 我都可以肯定, VERO 呢間係world class的chocolate shop. 比淮一穫得Le Comité Colbert 認定的La Maison du Chocolat (over-rated in Chocolate Connoseur's world, more for sugary Chocolate lovers), 還要好.
**************************************
I'm quite surprised no one in the last 30 odd so-called Chocolate reviews, did not even review the pure chocolate tablettes available in this shop in greater details. If you are going to only try the Chocolate pralines/Ganached/filled Chocolates then SCORE a shop based purely on that - its rather unfair, not to mention, VERO's filled Chocolates were actually better than most other shops out there. Ordered the following as tasting, some Eat-In, some Take-away :
>>
Chocolate Premium Squares Platter with 5 choices:

1. Dark Chocolate 70% - Great taste and very smooth texture for 70%. Red berry/Raspberry fruity taste, with a long finish that lasted 10 sec+ as it melted. The basis of most chocolates in this shop. 9.3/10. Better than my other favourites Jean Paul Hevin Caraibe and Araguani 72% (spelling ?).
White - This must be the best white chocolate I've tasted in my life. This was 'fresh', also had characters other than milk and cocoa butter taste. White chocolate isn't even a chocolate in a way. However Vero's white chocolate, actually had chocolate taste, with a multi-layered taste finish. WOW. 10/10.
Milk Chocolate 32% - This was soooo amazingly good. Buttery in taste and melting texture, slightly caramelly yet ever slightly salty, probably soy bean in background taste - finish was 3 dimensional and ever slightly changing when melting in the mouth, rather unusual for milk chocolates of only 32%. This went the best with my Espresso. Better than the Jean Paul Hevin milk chocolate tablette/neapolitans. To me, this tasted EXACTLY like the Amedei Toscano Brown neapolitans, due to the very special flavouring and overall profile. Except, VERO's version was slightly better with a better texture. 10/10.
50/50 Marbled Milk and White Chocolate - I like this too, but it was in the middle of nothing. I won't rate this, as I'm not familiar with 50/50 chocolates like this. If anything, I preferred the pure White Chocolate.
Chuao 70% - Jesus. This had to be the best ever dark chocolate I've ever tasted in my entire life. Not one of the best, but the best. Chuao is supposedly the best Chocolate variety in the world, recommended by the Top 1 and Top 2 chefs in the world, namely El Bulli's Ferran Adria and Fat Duck's Heston Blumenthal, also high recommended by World Chocolatier champion and genius Oriol Balaguer (he came to HK recently, did anyone noticed?). Probably recommended by many others too but cannot remember. Chuao is grown in a hidden valley accessible only by boat in Venezuala in South America. Amedei stole the 'exclusive rights' to access Chuao grown chocolate beans, pulling the rug under Valrhona when they least expected it - they had previously had this right until a couple of years ago. If Valrhona still possessed this, I think it would be the best chocolate maker in the world and Amedei would play 2nd tier. The taste of this VERO Chuao chocolate was just so amazing. Initially, as it started to melt, it released fresh berry and flower flavours, then, it starts dying down a little after 5 seconds - THEN, and this is the amazing bit, the 2nd level of flavour kicked in and this was even more intense than the 1st wave, with a slightly different strawberry plus prune plus acai berry like flavour, which lasts again another 7-8 seconds in the mouth, then never leaves again. If there is a word to describe this experience, its called multiple-orgasm (sorry about being vulgar, but for the sake of comparion...). Amazing. The colour of VERO's Chuao seems slightly darker than Amedei's Chuao redder version. However, even though Amedei's Chuao is already the top of the world, the Vintage I had did not have this multi-complex, bursting layering of VERO's version, which had a slightly darker background yet the fresh fruit like taste and aroma released from this dark base gave it even more godly contrast. Previously, I was quite happy with Jean Paul Hevin's dark chocolates, especially the Ecuador and Venezuela varieties - but VERO's Chuao still manages to blitz that and put it into oblivion by a factor of roughly 400-500%. I think it impressed me more than the Amedei made Chuao.
I'm not sure where VERO source their Chuao beans from, since AMEDEI is suppose to have the exclusive rights. The only other company in the world to have access to Chuao is Bonnat (French), with unconfirmed stories of where they source the beans from this highly prized 'Terroir'. However, going by my tastebud's tasting of the VERO Milk Chocolate 32% which tasted exactly like Amedei's Toscano Brown only better, also hearing VERO's Italian connections, I would hazard the guess that its directly from Amedei somehow, as the resemblance between VERO and Amedei is uncannily close.
>>Marshmallow:
Calamasi Mallow - This had a sweetish yet aromatically acidic taste to it. The marshmallow's slightly fresh and moist texture, balancing of taste, everything was perfect. Right amount of sweetness too. The chocolate coating was also great. Cannot bring myself to score it less than 9.8/10. I thought this could improve if it was slightly more representational of the calamasi, by being more exploratory and bold? But perhaps, its perfect as it is now. Can't decide, even as a customer.
>>Fresh Chocolates, Seasonal Colletions:
Bought 3 types only from the 5 available. Apricot and Prune Scotch, Red Hazelnut and Chinese Tangerine. I think all of them were made exceptionally well. Certainly better than Jean Paul Hevin's fruit or fillings based chocolates (that's JPH's weakness), also better than La Maison du Chocolat, Debailleu, Valrhona, etc. I can't remember Debaive & Gallais's exact tastes enough to comment, but I think they might be close in performance. The Chocolate Courveture coating on VERO is quite thin, based on its 70% Dark Chocolate - I think Jean Paul Hevin's coating is slightly more tastier, crunchier yet thinner, which gave it a burst of flavour as its intended to do, although the fillings inside are better at VERO. 8-9/10.
I think any serious Chocolate lover, would not rate a chocolate shop based on their Chocolates with fillings only to be honest. I for one don't 'prefer' this type of chocolate, even if I still love them for fun. Hence my 1st order was to go straight for the plain, chocolate squares. However, these're there for a reason - to satisfy people who don't really just enjoy plain chocolate bars or slices, or are sick of the hazelnutty, marzipan or almond like Chocolate pralines. The filled chocolates is the 3rd, safest option - just look at Godiva. The only Chocolates in this category I've had better, which were better than VERO, were the Oriol Balaguer amazing 'senses' range, as well as the Cacao et Chocolate ones (I know, I know, they're a stupid chain store. But they really impressed me as the internal fillings were not so artifical in taste or sweetness. I don't care what others say haha!) Neuhaus and Valrhona come close but not as good as VERO in general.
>>COFFEE:
Double Espresso - Honestly, chocolate goes just perfect with espresso, better than alcohols in my opinion. Especially milk chocolates. I ordered Espresso, based on Lavazza blend beans. Although this Espresso wasn't extracted to its maximum potential as it was slightly too watery and the CREMA was thin - I was really surprised by the quality of the Lavazza espresso.
I've had a fair bit of experience with Lavazza coffee blends, both outside as well as playing with it myself - I was never really impressed with Lavazza in anyway. But that day's Lavazza espresso despite the extractiong flaws, was really very good - with a fresh taste of earthiness yet fruitiness of red spectrum, tad of pollen sweetness and mushroomy, complex, multi-layered in lingering taste and aroma. This was better than any ILLY espresso I've ever experienced. Had a good body too that was from the cheaper but under-rated Robusta beans covering the background of Arabica beans?
I couldn't believe this was Lavazza to be honest, it was really just too great, even fresh coffee in this batch. Not normal for Lavazza's. Was this a freak experience? This was equal 1st Espresso experience for me in Hong Kong, may be even outright no.1. Lost for explanation.

>>HOT CHOCOLATE
Xocolati 70% drink - This had a melting piece of 70% dark chocolate on top, took about 1minute to melt. This hot chocolate was flawed for Hong Kong's market in my personal opinion. As a hot drink, this type of too fruity dark chocolate made it possess a slightly unpleasant aftertaste which diminished on the wrong 'gradient' in the back palate, with a slightly bitter finish after the fruitiness. I'm surprised people write that this was 'thick' & 杰 杰地 and very dark, and that's their only comment and valuation of it being special or not. To me, I've had even thicker hot chocolates and this is not the only shop in Hong Kong to offer it. The highlight of this Hot Chocolate, was suppose to be the raisin plus berry like fresh Dark Chocolate they use to make this drink, not the viscosity of it... hmm. However, to cater for Hong Kong's still developing and some people's beginner's 'Starbucks level' tastebuds, compared to France and Italy and Spain, I think its better if VERO stuck to slightly lower chocolate contents (may be around 50-63% for 2009 customer levels) and less fruity but more roasty, aromatic, caramel or honeyed chocolate beans based, hot chocolate drinks. Just my personal opinion.
Conclusion
Overall, I was so impress by my trip to VERO, I'm speechless. I want to congratulate the owners/chefs again to decide on opening this shop in Hong Kong, its certainly a privilege and our gain and our pride. They're exactly the same type of ambitious yet insightful people, that I'd love to meet or be partners with in business. I trust that these guys must have the utmost respect and knowledge for chocolates, as well as top, trustworthy 'palates' which produced chocolates and espresso coffees of this nearly flawless quality.
I heard that they're going to introduce sweet wines and alcoholic drinks soon, to pair with their chocolates. As a side opinion, I think due to the taste spectrum of their chocolates, may be apart from the usual oxidised, vintaged Spanish sherries (Pedro Ximinez's, Oloroso's, etc) and white sweet wines like Barzac/Sauternes/Rivesaults, they can also look into French Banyuls, Spanish red sweet wines as well as thick, fruity beers like Amber ale beers to pair with the chocolates? I'm not sure sweet Rieslings will fit here, although I'd like to try those as well as Eisweins just for the fun of it!

A SOLID '5'.
The only chocolate shop in Hong Kong that I would give a '5' to without hesitation. I only give Jean Paul Hevin '4' as a comparison, despite it being my favourite French chocolate shop for now.

前3個星期6, 諗住去試杯70% hot chocolate,,點知一上到去排長龍...今日平日去得2枱客,我哋都係叫咗70% hot chocolate,等咗唔夠10分鐘就嚟,杯嘢都ok好滑,不過感覺麻麻地,好似飲緊杯chocolate醬,我寧願食粒chocolate好過飲呢杯嘢。但係我個朋友唔夠10分鐘就飲晒,杯嘢好唔好飲真係見人見智。

有說vero係近期的人氣品牌,這個我倒不知道. 第一次聽到這個品牌是在朋友的生日,第二次接觸係朋友送我的生日禮物. 收到VERO WINTER/AUTUMN COLLECTION,非當高興,你果然知我心意! 這天在酒吧,啤酒送朱古力,又一新點子,有意思. 雖然沒有包裝,那精緻的外表已經好吸引. 簡約就是美,又何須整色整水?WINTER/AUTUMN COLLECTION有五粒朱古力: Chinese tangerine 75%的cacao少甜味濃,而中間的橙Jelly酸甜甜,好開胃.Red hazelnut唯一一粒沒有75%cacao,好似雀巢甘脆朱古力,好鬆化,但太甜.Pink Himalayan Caramel一粒朱古力,有兩種口感,外脆內軟,焦糖似拖肥少甜,但十分幼滑,係我的第二最愛.Calamansi Mallow 有d白色creamy既stuffing,少少酸,味道好特別. Apricot & Prune Scotch 果皮將朱古力味中和了,亦增加了朱古力的口感,係我的至愛.因為朱古力的外層好薄,所以朱古力的味道一d都唔明顯,而且stuff亦唔係十分甜. 花fit得來又想有平

有說vero係近期的人氣品牌,這個我倒不知道. 第一次聽到這個品牌是在朋友的生日,第二次接觸係朋友送我的生日禮物. 收到VERO WINTER/AUTUMN COLLECTION,非當高興,你果然知我心意!

這天在酒吧,啤酒送朱古力,又一新點子,有意思. 雖然沒有包裝,那精緻的外表已經好吸引. 簡約就是美,又何須整色整水?

WINTER/AUTUMN COLLECTION有五粒朱古力:
Chinese tangerine
75%的cacao少甜味濃,而中間的橙Jelly酸甜甜,好開胃.

Red hazelnut
唯一一粒沒有75%cacao,好似雀巢甘脆朱古力,好鬆化,但太甜.

Pink Himalayan Caramel
一粒朱古力,有兩種口感,外脆內軟,焦糖似拖肥少甜,但十分幼滑,係我的第二最愛.

Calamansi Mallow
有d白色creamy既stuffing,少少酸,味道好特別.

Apricot & Prune Scotch
果皮將朱古力味中和了,亦增加了朱古力的口感,係我的至愛.

因為朱古力的外層好薄,所以朱古力的味道一d都唔明顯,而且stuff亦唔係十分甜. 花fit得來又想有平淡口味的,這是不二之選.

這天在Irishmen Pub食Vero,下次應該輪到在Vero Pub食Vero,期待這一天
!

PS.聽說Vero正在申請酒牌中.

VERO是近期人氣的本地品牌,心埋上覺得每粒朱古力也是特別新鮮,就趁週末放鬆心情,用朱古力來個心理治療,享受一下巧克力下午茶。

地方寬敞、簡潔,偌大的玻璃窗,雖然面對維港,可借只是一幅正在動工的地皮,如果埈工後,可能已阻擋了視線。

需要等位關係,我先參觀擺滿朱古力製成品的玻璃屋,一入內充滿誘人的朱古力香氣,把不得把所有朱古力吃光。

熱/凍朱古力各一杯,很期待那杯70%純熱朱古力,是一杯不簡單的熱朱古力,特別在於表面一片薄薄的朱古力,慢慢溶化於杯中,輕啜一口其味道十分鮮濃,再細意品嚐後,漸漸發覺質地十分"杰",與其說是朱古力飲品,似是朱古力醬較為適合,我相信雪凍可來作mousses、加些麵粉及牛油可焗出心太軟,我對其質感不太接受﹐無疑味道甘醇,在口腔中久久也留有餘韻。

我更為欣賞凍朱古力,在朱古力上加了鮮忌廉後,顏色咖白分明,忌廉及冰碎沒有將朱古力稀釋,反且苦甜味道隨即在口中散開。

除了飲品外,也試試品嚐其巧克力,要了可揀5款味道的Premium Jar collection,價錢比其他朱古力併盤較價,但每款有2粒,相比較抵食。

Yoghurt clusters-以為是很甜膩的,但加入了乳酪及乾果,帶了酸咪咪味道,之前飲了濃濃朱古力後,這個算是冷河,來相間之後的甘濃朱古力。

Noccioline crunch-這個是侍應小姐的推介,榛子粒粒的香脆與黑朱古力軟滑的對比。
Orange grissini-鮮橙味融合了巧克力裡,散發新鮮芳香的味道。

Sesame pencils-做成鉛筆狀,有著創作及手工細緻的混合。外層是朱古力,用芝麻做成的鉛筆芯,味道稍甜,但是入口有朱古力的美味,同時也有著濃濃芝麻的芳香。

Premium sparks-又一侍應小姐推介,說是入口有一種輕微爆炸的快感。而這黑朱古力比較以上四款較為甘苦,其爆炸效果不太明顯,但亦感受到一聲的清脆快感。

享受這一頓美味精緻的朱古力宴後,立即想食點刺激的辛辣來中和胃部。
