Canelé Patisserie Chocolaterie. 不只是Macarons

因爲很不喜歡排隊，機緣巧合之下來到Canelé Patisserie Chocolaterie。近期内踏入Plaza Singapura， 若要找吃的，首先你要熱愛排隊，否則沒耐性又不懂苟同如我，你會難以説服自己爲了一餐而在那人龍之中，為其不可理喻的長度獻上綿力。

話説Canelé，也許因爲是晚餐時間，沒有那令人煩躁的隊伍。但我一踏入館内倒也帶旺了場子，人龍隨即不敵宿命地快速成形。我為我的時機喝彩。

Canelé Patisserie Chocolaterie ，顧其名思其義，主打的應該是法式甜點和巧克力。Macarons沒錯長得艷麗、可愛無比。但老實說我目前還未能領會Macaron的魅力所在。所以我點了Strawberry Shortcake為主食；配菜方面，畢竟還是為晚餐而來，於是選了Wild Pumpkin Soup，Wagyu Beef Burger和我個人到cafe都幾乎必點的Hot Chocolate。

Pumpkim Soup很好喝、Wagyu Beef Burger很好吃、Hot Chocolate好喝、Strawberry Shortcake好吃，是我對這一餐忠實而又簡單的概括。

我好奇Canelé究竟什麽意思，所以搜了一下。原來是一種法式糕點——内裏是軟軟的蛋白牛奶軟凍，外層是厚厚的深褐色焦糖脆殼。也就是說店名它很明確地組合起了：法式、法式、法式！讓我突然不自禁想起了我在大學時代學無所成的初級法文。

Au Revoir!

Flor Patisserie. Japanese Pastries at the Quaint Slope

As a full-time office worker, enjoying a piece of Japanese-inspired French pastry in the middle of a weekday afternoon is definitely the rare relaxing event that's worth a few moments of serious indulgence. It was a weekday on leave for such rare chance to happen. Went to Flor Patisserie, by Chef Yamashita, for a pampering sweet treat. I like the marriage of the little cozy Japanese cake shop and the quaint Duxton Hill. Ah, just the perfect ambience for a tea. 'Flor' is a Portuguese word for flower, and is pronounced as 'fu-ro-ru' in Japanese. I think It's only when you pronounce it as "fu-ro-ru" that you've tuned your taste bud right for the Japanese craftsmanship :) I love Flor's (fu-ro-ru's) Strawberry Soufflé. Cream-cheese cake baked the soufflé way, it's cheesy yet light, fluffy and soft, topped with the little refreshing heap of strawberries. I'll bet I'll be able to bake this well some day! Ha~
