Hey, sweet tooth! If your taste buds are craving a slice of Paris in the heart of Hong Kong, look no further than Pâtisserie Millefeuille on Staunton Street. We've got the scoop on this cosy spot that puts millefeuille – a classic French dessert combining layers of puff pastry with cream, in the spotlight.
Chef Lionel isn't your run-of-the-mill chef. He's globe-trotted from the streets of Paris to Michelin-starred kitchens in Tokyo and Saipan, earning him the title of "Pastry Chef of the Year 2010/2011" in Greece. Now, he's landed in Hong Kong, and we're reaping the delicious rewards!
Let's talk about the stars of the show – Signature Mini Millefeuilles … Oh là là! Chef Lionel has crafted these bite-sized wonders into four mouthwatering varieties. Vanilla Hazelnut, Vanilla Caramel, Pistachio Raspberries, and Chocolate Dream – each one a tiny piece of Paris in your palm. But wait, there's more! Pâtisserie Millefeuille isn't stopping at millefeuilles. The menu boasts a line-up of petit gateaux, from the classic Mont Blanc (my personal favourite) and the zesty lemon tart to the traditional Bordeaux canelés, financiers, madeleines, and French cookies.
