Dalloyau (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

With Christmas just around the corner, different cake shops are already showcasing what they've got for the festival holidays. Dalloyau, one of Paris's oldest pastry brands, is wasting no time to promote their scrumptious festive desserts.



Apart from festive desserts, Dalloyau La Boutique at Harbour City also has a corner dedicated to Christmas gifts ranging from chocolates to fruit jams.




Just when we were still checking out the Christmas gifts for our friends and family, a staff approached us and offered a slice of their handmade chocolate. This flavor is their Fondant D'Orange, combining a chocolate almond paste with a tangerine and fresh orange jam. Very nice indeed.



When it comes to pastries, they have their Religieuse dressed up as a snowman. That is really cute but this "Christmas Log" looks rather impressive as well. There are two flavors to choose from - (White) vanilla & chestnut and (Black) chocolate & orange.



We went for the white version of Christmas Log - Mont Blanc and what a treat it was.



A crispy pistachio biscuit base with a silky smooth vanilla mousse, chestnut purée and pistachio meringue provided an irresistible combination of contrasting flavors and textures for us.



I couldn't forget about one of their all-time classic - Dalloyau. Crushed caramelized hazelnut, tons of them, hugging around layers of almond meringue and praline cream creating a symphony of rich buttery and nutty flavor. 




Still my go-to pâtisserie in TST.
