The stars at STAR STREET @ Chez Patrick Deli

Nearby Star Street used to be Chez Patrick with sturdy black wooden frame windows, however it is now the new French Deli in Wan Chai.

Across the road there is Classified, the area is just perfect for European diners.

 

 

 

I prefer the new Chez Patrick Deli, you can just walk in and grab some cakes or delicatessens.
They have wooden shelves with Jam, honey and teabags for sale.

There are native French Chefs there too.

Anyway I got the Vanilla éclair and Hazelnut Bavavois.

 

Vanilla éclair:
The choux part of the éclair was slightly hard, so was the icy, but inside there was custard cream

 

Hazelnut Bavavois:
This was quite heavy, but there many pieces of hazelnut in it.

 

For improvements: They should provide forks for takeaway.

Hazelnut Muffin @ Starbucks

Ordered a hazelnut chocolate muffin and they asked me if I wanted it heated up, so decided to try it warm.

It was quite nice warmed, you could smell the chocolate and hazenut.

It wasnt too sweet.

Lucullus cakes sticks

After trying the cake slices, I wanted to try the other cakes, the ones I got this time were called STICKS!
They reminded me of the thin slices of cake sold at Stick Stick's

The ones sold here looked more like rectangle slices.
Anyway, the stick's tasted better than the slices.
The whole thing was much lighter, and there was no heavy dense chocolate mousse base at the bottom.

Rocky chocolate stick

 

Rocky chocolate stick:
This was topped with marshmallows and drizzled with chocolate which had solidified.
The marshmallows that was in the filling was lovely and soft.
Not too sweet but chocolatey enough.

Hazelnut stick

 

Hazelnut stick
This was my favourite, the hazelnut mousse actually had a strong hazelnut taste.
Much better than the Hazelnut mousse I had at Sweet Lodge.
It would be good if there was crushed hazelnut mixed in the mousse.

Overall, the sticks were really good, but I would of preferred the cake to be softer.

Black forestThe cake and cream was dry, especially the cream, it was so dehydrated that it felt crumbly.
It was lacking cherries and the wine taste.

Chocolate cake wtih berries
I was expecting the blackforest to taste better, but actually this one tasted better.
It had more berries but the chocolate was stronger.

Overall, the chocolate cakes have a heavy chocolate base which gives it weight and stability when it is being transported.
Then the top part of the cake is sponge and the cream.

Hazelnut cake @ Ginger Bakery

Haven’t been to Ginger bakery for ages, so decided to give it a visit.
Tried the hazelnut cake which had lots of whole hazelnuts.
As well as hazelnuts, it seemed to contain hazelnut essence in the cake mixture as well.
Overall it was quite nice, but I would have preferred the cake to be slightly softer.
