While breathing a sigh of pity for the disassembly of historic monuments due to reconstruction projects,some newborn cafes remind me to face the reality and look out the change after the renewal. Passion by Gerard Dubois was one of them, I thought. In between the hoist's noise and old-Hongkong like district, there's a relaxing cafe that makes me ignore the hustle and bustle of the city, that is, the Passion by Gerard Dubois, which is located at the newly built apartment. Like most cafes, french
Like most cafes, french pasteries, quiche, salad, freshly-baked bread, cakes and beverages can be found in this cozy place, but the extra element that the Passion gives is the home-like warmth through the rustic decoration.
From the huge variety of desserts, we at first chose 4 pieces of cakes and 3 pieces of macarons to see if we could finish them or not.
The chestnut flavour was lighter then I expected and was unfortunately covered by the milky cream, despite of the right smoothness. When we reached the middle of the cake, we frowned for the combination of mango and chestnut. They just didn't match together. The thick, sweet and rich mango could not compensate the foamy and weak chestnut.
Pear Danish(HK$17): There were actually 2 types of pear danish provided. The other one was the Pear Crumble Danish which was a box-shaped. We were attracted by the lovely pear shape, and also the childish biscuit stick, undoubtedly. XD The pastry was unexpectedly soft (weird to use this word) due to the heavy garnishing on the danish. With the limitation of the shape, there wasn't enough air spaces in between each layer. Yet, the pear was extremely gorgeous. Even though it was marinated, the pear tasted naturally and freshly. Very refreshing.
