Pierre Hermé Harbour City (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

Holiday season has finally arrived at Pierre Hermé with the "Picasso of Pastry" launching the holiday macarons collection in recent weeks. Before heading to the Pierre Hermé boutique at Gateway, we decided to do a quick "market research" around Harbour City first. 

We stopped by the newly opened Fauchon and then Ladurée to check out the crowd and the verdict was clear - Pierre Hermé was by far the most popular one out of the three.



Out of the five new winter flavors, we have decided to ditch the Agape (Lemon and Gingerbread) and go with the remaining four new flavors - Truffle Blanche & Noisette (White truffle & roasted Piedmont hazelnut slivers), Chocolat & Foie Gras (self explanatory), Infiniment Marron Glaze (Candied chestnut) and lastly PX (Pedro Ximenez & Steeperd Sultanas).




The highly anticipated White Truffle was definitely worth the hype. Using some of the finest white truffles from Alba and blending them nicely with Piedmont hazelnut, that was heaven!

I thought the Chocolate & Foie Gras and Pedro Ximenez were also excellent choices. Less successful was the chestnut in my opinion.
