Super mini macarons

Had time before a tasting so decided to eat something.
I was going to visit Waffill again to try the new savoury burger waffle but this new branch of Dolci was closer so came here instead.

On one side, there is a cake counter.

On the other side, there is a gelato counter.

There is a nice sitting area too.



There is a menu so you can order from the table.

Super mini macarons:
At the gelato counter, I discovered so many new toppings that you add for an extra $5!!
There were mini meringues, cake bits, but my favourite had to be the super mini macarons which I have always adored on the nocciola (triple hazelnut crunchy cake).


Each macaron is so cute and uniformly shaped!!!

Pistachio gelato with super mini macarons:
Chose the pistachio gelato because it was my favourite with the mini macarons as extra toppings!!



Just too cute to eat!
Anyway the mini macarons were lovely and crispy because they have sachets of desiccant in the jar to keep them lovely and dry.
As for the gelato, it was smooth and thick with a gorgeous sticky texture to it just like Turkish icecream.
The pistachio taste was natrual and the sweetness was just right.

Hazelnut gelato:

Compared to the pistachio, the taste was slightly sweeter but nutty and natrual.

Hazelnut and chocolate froyo @ Yo Mama

Yo Mama (灣仔)

Since my last visit, there are now six branches of Yo Mama in Hong Kong with Wan Chai being their first branch.


I have not had a froyo for a long time because I have been bored of the flavours especially at Yo Mama because they only had original and green tea.

This time they had hazelnut and chocolate froyo which was the reason I why I came.

The toppings were unchanged and the variety was the roughly the same as before with fruit, cereal, sweets etc.





The decor of this froyo joint was the same as my first visit and the sitting area lighting was really dark.

Froyo:
I chose the green tea mochi and realised there was a jar of meringues as well so I got the meringues.
The hazelnut chocolate froyo was really nice because it was really thick and viscous and the taste of chocolate was not powdery.
The meringes were cute and colourful and not too sweet, whilst the green tea mochi was deliciously soft and chewy.

Hazelnut chocolates pretty in pink @ Lucullus

Got this lovely box of chocolates from Mjqueen7e which were in a really pretty pearl pink box.
The lid was pearly pink and the bottom of the box was silver.
I just couldnt wait to devour them and winter is the best time for chocolates in Hong Kong because they are not melted.

The chocolate on the left was milk chocolate, and the chocolate on the right was dark chocolate made up of four chocolate spheres co-joined together to form a square. Usually I start off with the bitter chocolates first but this time I started with the milk chocolate one first because I wanted to taste the full bitterness of the dark chocolate after.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crispy hazelnut milk chocolate:
The chocolate was made up of crispy toasted rice pieces and hazelnut pieces held together by milk chocolate.
I really liked it because the hazelnut had hazelnut taste because some hazelnuts these days can taste stale and tasteless yet these hazelnuts still had that crunch too.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Dark chocolate covered whole hazelnuts:
This one was even more likeable, it was made up of four chocolate covered hazelnuts joined together to form a square with white chocolate in the middle.
This one was much simpler compared to the first chocolate that every taste was distinct.
The whole hazelnuts and the taste of dark chocolate formed a nice bitter and nutty taste to complete my chocolate hazelnut experience!
