Girls would go for miles just for a cute dessert. Having numerous dessert shops opening, it is not easy to create something different from other shops. Today, as I was strolling on Mody street with my girls in TST, I noticed a choux puff gelato cafe at the corner. Looking at the menu from afar, I thought this was a shop that sells burgers? but when I looked closer, I realized that it's actually giant choux puff! I’ve seen chained stores selling puff, but this one looked somewhat between a giant puff/burger/HK traditional pineapple bun (菠萝包). Never had anything like that before, might as well gave it a try! So.. each of us tried a flavor!
We ordered Red velvet, Mango tango, and Praline Noir.Not only that, we also shared a scoop of chocolate cookie chocolate gelato☺
What we ordered:
1. Chocolate cookie chocolate gelato 5/5:

Thinking that this would be a safe yet boring choice, we were all very surprised after taking the first bite of the gelato! The gelato was soft, rich in milk chocolate flavor, but we also tasted something SALTY as we digged into more icecream !

I think it must be the cookie that carried the salty flavor. With a tiny bit of saltiness in the middle of a sweet chocolate dream, I could easily have another scoop ^^
2. Mango tango giant gelato choux 4/5, $58

Freshly came out of the oven, the orange-colored choux puff was put into the oven for 2-3 mins before adding the gelato, making sure that the bun was warm and crispy! Though that meant waiting for a while, but trust me, be patient, it was totally worth it! ^^ Looking somewhat like a 菠萝包+burger, the choux had cracked skin that made out of cookie crumbs that's super cripsy and crunchy after toasted!
The homemade mango gelato was divine, not to sweet or sour, leaving a rather strong after taste: ) The server kindly taught us how to eat it to maxmimze our enjoyment. Open the puff's cover, put some gelato and bite, OR take a big bite with the puff holding like you're holding a burger. As I took a bite in the middle, i tasted something very sweet and crunchy in the middle, coconut crumbs and caramel sauce!
3. Praline Noir giant gelato choux 5/5, $58

This was my favorite choux puff of all!! I would pick chocolate out of all flavors! This one has Hazelnut and crunchy gelato (just like eating the whole jar of nutella alive. Mmm YUM) + Praline sauce that tasted like caramel. As I took a deeper bite into the center of the choux puff, I tasted something very very familiar. It was a chocolate that people tend to eat a lot during Chinese new year.. mmmm MALTESSER! I thought it was 金沙 chocolate at first, then I realized the crunchy+melty property of the chocolate suggested something else. ^^
Praline Noir choux puff is mainly chocolate but you can easily tasted 3-4 different kind of textures! What a joy!!
4. Red Velvet giant gelato choux 3/5, $58

Rosey red with a pretty name, there’s not doubt that this was the fanciest order of all! In fact, most of other female customers ordered it. I was very excited to try red velvet choux puff. So far, I’ve only tried red velvet cupcake and cake but not puff. Like the other choux puff, the puff was served hot and steamy ;) The red velvet choux puff contained vanilla almond icecream with fresh dried almond nuts, rose sauce and red velvet cake bits. The rose sauce was very unique and girly, I was surprised by the rosy flowery taste! As if I took a bite of a flower haha. I could see the original vanilla black seeds popping up from the white gelato! There’s no doubt that this was homemade!! ^^ However, I could not taste any cream cheese flavor from this dessert :\ I would prefer to enhance the cream cheese element and lessen the vanilla. Nevertheless, it was an interesting add on using rose syrup! ☺
