Chocolate Journey Through Hong Kong

Chocoyou (Sheung Wan)

I missed the chocolate trail at Harbour City but Thanks to Chocoyou, I did the chocolate journey of Hong Kong.
Although I am not keen on Chinese food, some were quite nice.

“Chocolate Journey Through Hong Kong” is a brand new chocolate series inspired by the foods of Hong Kong.

The founder and Master Chocolatier Alexis Kwong Alvarez created an assortment of colourful chocolates with delicate flavours and ingredients from his hometown Hong Kong.

There are nine flavours and the coloured squares of chocolate looked really cute in the box.

At the back of the box, the flavours are listed and denoted by the colour on the chocolates.

The knife I used was crap because it was a plastic disposable knife which did not give a clean cut and some crumbled.
(ooops)

Blue: Hong Kong Milk Tea with Dark Chocolate

The milk tea taste could have been stronger because the dark chocolate taste was quite strong.

Clouds: Earl Grey Tea with Milk Chocolate

The earl grey was delicious and pretty, I liked the baby blue and white clouds on it.
The taste of earl grey was strong.

Silver: Black Sesame with Dark Chocolate

Visually this was my favourite because silver is my favourite colour.
The filling was interesting because it was filled with sesame paste and not whole black sesame seeds.
I do not normally like black sesame but it tasted nice with the dark chocolate.

White: Red Bean Ice with White Chocolate

I am not keen on white chocolate nor red beans but it tasted ok.
My friend ( a local from Hong Kong) tried it and loved it.

Orange: Hong Kong Peanut Waffle with Milk Chocolate

I do not really like peanut butter but this was the best because the peanut butter really smooth and velvety, and it was not too sweet.

Red: Szechuan Pepper Dark Chocolate

The spicyness of this was quite strong but if you can eat chili then this is the one for you.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Yellow: Curry Coconut Dark Chocolate

The taste of curry could have been spicier and stronger but it was light, the coconut taste was actually quite strong and it was a bit like satay sauce mixed with chocolate.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Green: Wasabi Dark Chocolate

The wasabi was quite nice because it was quite savoury without the sting of wasabi followed by the sweetness of the chocolate.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mondrian: V.S.O.P Cognac Dark Chocolate

This was really nice because it has the fragrant flavour of cognac that is not too strong which is perfect for people who do not drink alchohol.
