A box of 6 grand size canelés costs $178 and a box of 12 costs $328. For the cocktail size canelés, a box of 25 costs $218 and a box of 50 costs $398.
The canelés are delivered in a smart paper box to most locations in Hong Kong (you can check their website http://www.lecaneledor.com.hk/ for the locations that they deliver to.) You are recommended to eat them within the same day of delivery, or at most within 5 days.
You can also customise your order, so my friends ordered a box of 6 grand size canelés and two cocktail size canelés in three different flavours. The canelés are delivered chilled, but you are recommended to reheat them in a preheated oven at 200°c for 6 minutes, or in a microwave using the grill function for a few minutes, so that the exterior hardens.
(1) We tried the Traditional Canelé first, which was vanilla bean and rum based. The canelés from Le Canelés d'Or are actually some of the most authentic ones that can be found in Hong Kong. A lot of canelés in Hong Kong have a cake-like texture, but these ones had a soft and custardy centre and a crunchy, caramelised crust, which is what authentic canelés should be like. The vanilla and rum flavour in the canelés were very distinctive, but the egg flavour could have been a tad stronger.
(2) We also tried the Orange Canelé, which was refreshing with a citrus, fruity note. We didn't bother reheating the canelés when we ate them, but the centre was still soft and velvety, and the crust was also quite crunchy even when chilled. Some premium canelés found in Paris would be even more spongy and airy in the middle, but these ones were accomplished enough.
(3) The Coffee Canelé was delicious, with the lovely aroma and taste of coffee forming a remarkable contrast with the sweetness and softness of the pastry.
Canelés can be eaten for breakfast, for snacks, and as dessert. I enjoy eating them in the afternoon with a cup of coffee the best. Some people find the prices of these canelés a bit hefty, but considering that the canelés are delivered, I find them acceptable. I think that a box of delectable, authentic canelés would make a very nice gift!張貼
