Wimbledon everyday at Cafe de Paris Est. in Korea
2017-01-27 365 瀏覽
During the Wimbledon tournaments, the UK consumes around 23 tonnes of strawberries and 7,000 litres of cream every year.
Now you can get strawberries and cream Korean style 365 days a year.
{The cream used in Wimbledon is different as it is single or double whipped cream which is different to the fluffy cream used here. }
At Cafe de Paris Est. in Korea, they specialize in these bon bon cups which are filled with cream, fruit and some sorbet in the middle.
They began their first shop in Korea in 2009 and since then many people have flown over from HK to try it.
The founder used to study in France hence the cafe has a Parisien decor.
There are three to choose from at the moment: Strawberry, Cherry and mango.

Clearly my choices were going to be strawberry and cherries.
It is so difficult to get cherry desserts in HK and the cherries they serve here are fresh.
The best thing is that it does not cost more than the strawberry because cherry anything is always marked up, so I don't know if this is the reason restaurants don't serve it or HKers don't like Cherry.
The cherries are also more time consuming than strawberries because they need to remove the stones one by one.

For drinks, they have teas by Comptoir Richards with lots of choices and my picks are Earl Grey, Cherry and apple and Vanilla caramel.
In the end I went for the Cherry tea.
Cafe de Paris Est. in Korea is self service, so you order and collect when your order is ready.

Strawberry bon bon:
I did have my doubts on this because in Asia they don't serve real whipped cream but synthetic cream that is fluffy and firm.
Anyway, the cream was slightly better than anticipated because it was sweetened with powdered sugar which gives it a nicer taste than other sweetened synthetic creams.
Each strawberry was juicy and sweet which tasted so good with the cream.
In the middle there was some sweet strawberry sorbet which made the strawberries taste sweeter and the flavour was natural.
+++++++++
Cherry bon bon:
The cherry is the same as the strawberry except there is cherry sorbet in the middle.
I loved this because the cherries are fresh, not canned!!
Again, all the cherries were sweet and fantastic.
+++++++++
Cherry and apple tea:
Finished with the cherry and apple tea which was really fragrant and natrual.
+++++++++
A bit pricey but damn good.
