Pierre Hermé (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

He's finally here. The man behind the revival of the Ladurée empire has finally arrived. 

Pierre Hermé who is best known by the world as the "Picasso of pastry" has finally made his long anticipated debut in Hong Kong. But unlike Ladurée who has done their homework by picking the Harbour City Shopping Complex as the venue of their flagship store, the location of the first-ever Pierre Hermé boutique is somewhat of a peculiar one - the commercial oriented IFC Tower. 

The box itself was definitely a collector's item.  




There are about 15 different flavors to choose from. A box like this goes for about HK$330 these days.




The macaron base was slightly softer than what we were accustomed to but had more bite and depth to it. My personal favorites were the Image (Matcha green tea & black sesame crisp) and Creme Brulee (Vanilla & caramel bits).

Too bad they didn't have the XXL sizes available in Paris.
