There was new Lunar New Year market this year called Mart In Hong Kong. Boyfriend and I were there to look around and eat some of the snacks there.While walking around, I found one stand called Le Canele D'or. A French couple run this online shop that makes caneles. A French pastry that has a caramelized exterior and custardy interior. This pastry hails from the Bordeaux area. And this company bakes them the traditional way including using copper molds from France. They were selling mini version
While walking around, I found one stand called Le Canele D'or. A French couple run this online shop that makes caneles. A French pastry that has a caramelized exterior and custardy interior. This pastry hails from the Bordeaux area. And this company bakes them the traditional way including using copper molds from France. They were selling mini versions for 3 for $20 or a larger version for $20 each. Curious, as I have yet to find a good canele in Hong Kong, I decided to get the larger one.
There were two flavors: vanilla rum on the left and orange Grand Mariner on the right. BOOZY sweets! My fave! These were wonderful. A nice caramelization. The inside was soft and tender. The vanilla rum was strong in vanilla and wasn't too sweet. However, the winner was the orange Grand Mariner. Fragrant and richly sweet that was balanced by the bitterness of the candied orange peels. I wish at that moment, I was not eating them at the park and had a cup of coffee to go with them! Fantastic caneles that are not easy to find in Hong Kong. The staff was friendly and informed me that they not only do online ordering but they now offer them at IFC's CitySuper. I'll have to find them next time I'm in IFC and buy some home!
