A private kitchen, Germany
A stunning Träubleskuchen, with fresh red currants from personal farm. The sharp tartness of the redcurrants cuts into the sweet meringue and savory tart base. Heavenly.
Musings from a blogger living and eating and watching performances in Beijing.

Ladurée
Ladurée
Shop 3224, 3/F, Gateway Arcade, Harbour City, 17 Canton Road Tsim Sha Tsui
I am not a particularly big fan of macarons, and Ladurée, despite its name and recognition, couldn't carve out an exception in my book. My friends find the Ladurée experience life-transforming, while I merely found it good eats but not something I would line up everyday for 1.5 hours to buy. I freely concede that some of Ladurée's jammy fillings (especially its raspberry and blackcurrant) and buttercreams (praline, rose) are wonders of taste, because they truly impart the natural flavors of the food, but others (vanilla, coconut, pistachio) are merely bare passers and did not inspire poetry. I don't mind having them frequently or occasionally, but not with a wait that is longer than most of Mahler's symphonies.
