I paid a visit to the rather new patisserie, Passion by Gerard Dubois, earlier. They have a variety of cakes, pastries, bread… they have have a deli corner with a wide range of salad, sandwiches and cooked food. Behind the deli corner is an open-kitchen where the patisserie chefs work.我在上星期到访了这间比较新的饼店，他们卖的东西很多，有蛋糕，包点，多种甜品～另外还有很多熟食，沙拉，三明治等。小食吧的后面是开放式的厨房，能看见师傅们在现场工作。For the first time, I picked their Le Chocolat cake which looked really appealing to my eye.

For the first time, I picked their Le Chocolat cake which looked really appealing to my eye. I thought it was wholesomely chocolaty but in fact it had lemony citron filling inside. I personally found the zesty flavour too overwhelming thus drowning the taste of chocolate. But the chocolate mousse itself was really smooth, rich and creamy which is something I appreciate. I was scooping out the outer layers to get the chocolaty part before I dug in for the sourness. There was a teeny weeny bit of sponge cake in the bottom layer but it was rather dry. I would have enjoyed the cake more if it were less sour and if it had a crust. Somehow I find the cake “imbalanced”.我挑了这个外貌漂亮的巧克力蛋糕，也没有问是甚么口味便要了一件，本以为是浓滑的巧克力蛋糕其实内藏玄机，夹心是超级酸的柠檬馅！觉得这么酸的馅料与既甜且浓的巧克力慕丝不太配，若是采用微酸的水果或是榛果效果会较好，味道会比较平衡。不过慕丝真的很软滑，而且朱古力味很浓。饼底是一层薄薄的海绵蛋糕，比较干身，我还是喜欢脆身的饼底。
I bought a mille feuille for my mum immediately after I finished the cake. It was 33C out there and I held the paper bag all the way from Wanchai to Causeway Bay to meet my mum. Surprisingly, it was still crispy and delish by the time we gobbled it up on the street which was more than half an hour later. (sorry, too rush for photo taking) The caramel custard between the layers melted a little but it was still yummy! It was so good that my mum went back the next day for another mille feuille! Trust my mum, she’s a mille feuille monster and she herself makes amazing mille feuilles. If she thinks it’s good, it’s good for real!吃罢糕我买了一件千层酥给母亲。当时天气有３３度，我手持千层酥从湾仔乘地铁一直到铜锣湾，我们在街上急不及待把纸袋拆开，一口咬下，千层酥竟然还是松脆的（面头涂了糖浆保存松脆感）！（太赶了连相片也没拍） 焦糖味的吉士溶了一点，但还是很香甜（重点是没有焦糖煮过头引起的苦涩味），质地很滑很细致。把母亲大人很满意呢，
As for me, I got this Nutty Chocolate cake (I think it is called Nuit?) on the next day. Again, the mousse was really smooth and creamy. Apart from the chocolate flavour, there were nut brittles in the cake which makes the chocolate cake less boring. Similarly, I wish they had a crust at the bottom! I think it would have perfected the cake. Anyhow, I think this cake is much better than Le Chocolat.我隔天又回到店里买了巧克力蛋糕，这次点的是有果仁味，慕丝依然软滑，吃下去有很微小的果仁碎，不过我个人还是钟爱有一层碎饼底或夹心的蛋糕。整的来说果仁口味是要比柠檬要好啦，朱古力味道果然是跟果仁更相配嘛。
I hope to try out more Passion cakes and pastries soon as it is quite convenient to get there (right opposite to the Southorn Park and the MTR Wanchai Exit). They have many choices as you can see from the pictures so I guess it will take a while before I get bored of this shop! ;)Passion的选择很多，应该不会太快腻掉的，所以想迟下再到店舖试其他款式的糕饼，反正位置在湾仔地铁站附近（修顿球场对面），要再访不是难事吧。;)
