I was in Tai Koo and decided to go to Aeon to buy some thing home for dinner as I was too lazy to cook. Lo and be hold! Aeon had undergone a complete change! Their renovations have been complete and the entire food court area has changed. Everything was new! So many new places to eat and explore!The foodie in me was too excited to breathe!I passed by this beautiful counter of tarts and had to stop and drool.

The foodie in me was too excited to breathe!
I passed by this beautiful counter of tarts and had to stop and drool. Little signs were neatly placed in English and Chinese.
Fari-Beurre is from Tokyo and is easily found in Tokyo Station. It seems everytime I happen upon this place in Tokyo Station, I must buy one and devour like some escaped criminal that hasn't eaten in years. Seeing it now opened here, I had to stop and get one .. but ended up getting two. I love tarts. One is never enough for me.Fari-Beurre is actually franchised by Italian Tomato. The counter on the other side sells slices of Italian Tomato cakes while on the other side sells Fari-Beurre tarts. The tarts come in two sizes. Regular (which is quite big and shareable) and petite. I got two petite tarts: Orange custard and strawberry cream.
They packed it away in a nice sturdy box.
Two forks were securely placed inside as well. My tarts seemed to survive in one piece on my MTR ride home during a busy peak hour.
Orange Custard Tart ($28 for small size). The crust was beautiful flakey shortbread that held together well. However, the custard was a bit overcooked as it tasted a bit gummy. I wouldn't recommend the orange custard one.
Strawberry Shortcake Tart ($28 for small size). However, I must tell you to get this tart. It seems every time I'm in Japan, I have to have their pastries with strawberries and cream. Most notably strawberry shortcake. There is something the Japanese do that make this so magical. And this was exactly how I remembered why I love this bit of Japanese dessert so much. The crust was perfect. The cream was soft and slightly sweeth with a hint of vanilla. On top was a perfectly strawberry. Biting in you get another strawberry that is neatly placed on top of a piece of sponge cake. And if that doesn't make my heart flutter further, I found a third strawberry underneath! A THIRD STRAWBERRY! THREE STRAWBERRIES! Oh .... I think i went to heaven. I still have dreams of this tart.
