I ordered the Valerie, which was a mont blanc cake ($45 hkd), I've always wanted to try one but couldn't find it. They put that tiny cake into a big hard paper box. I kept the box lol, it's still a brand name box.
It's considered pricey in HK but it's around the same price as the cakes here so I was ok with it.
I thought it looked pretty and it had a b. initial on it which was kind of cool. I tried to cut into it but the last layer was a bit hard, it was like a meringue. It didn't have much of a chestnut taste to it which I was a bit disappointed. I don't quite remember what the other 2 layers were, I should have jot down notes but I forgot. Too busy on vacation. If I remember correctly the layer after chestnut was cream and then it was a chestnut cake layer?
My aunt tried a bit and she said it's not that good and for that price...no.
No, I don't think I would try again. It's pretty but that's all, not that good as a first mont blanc cake. I wish it had more chestnut flavour to it but no. Honestly, with that price in HK, I do expect something better than just that. Hey, at least I tried a brand name cake. =)
