The product that the folks at L'Eclair de Genie are turning out is nothing short of spectacular, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better crafted, better tasting eclair in town. Anywhere, really. Hong Kong foodies are a discerning bunch and if you're going to charge $50 for a cream-filled tube of pastry, it had better be something special. L'Eclair de Genie knows it, and have answered the call by raising their game to an art form. You simply cannot go wrong here as every flavor is a winner
You simply cannot go wrong here as every flavor is a winner. The pastry has just the right consistency -- slightly springy with just the faintest hint of savory. Inside, the cream inside is less sweet than what you might traditionally be used to (but this, in my opinion, is a good thing). The toppings only add to the experience, the glazed pecans atop the vanilla eclair, in particular, are excellent. The temperature control of the pastries themselves is perfect (slightly cool but not cold), and lends the overall experience a mouth feel that is almost beyond compare.
Go to this place and order yourself an eclair. Any flavor will do. You will walk away happy! (and not too much heavier, either. These are not huge eclairs. Just enough for a small treat. Not enough to induce any major bouts of guilt.
Enjoy!
