Following our visit to L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon upstairs, Little Meg & I were eager to get some more sweets here at Le Salon. I've been visiting Le Salon on and off for the last couple of years and have found a few favourite bakery/pastry items, including the reknowned croissant which is all the rage around town.I'd love to get some macarons too, but I had other engagements then on, I couldn't afford to have my delicate macarons subjected to shock injury so I decided to have something else: Sm
I'd love to get some macarons too, but I had other engagements then on, I couldn't afford to have my delicate macarons subjected to shock injury so I decided to have something else:
Smoked Norwegian Salmon with Dill (Saumon Fume) ($43) - this finger sandwich is stylishly tucked inside a signature Robuchon red plastic "box". The sandwich itself doesn't look spectacular but is a delightful combination of layered smoked salmon alternating with cheese, with the slightest hinge of dill. The highlight is the crispy filo pastry at the bottom - think about a savoury version of the classic mille feuille. Haha.
Le Financier ($12/2 pcs) - oh these lovely gems are irresistable! Apart from the light almondly "original flavour" of the classic French tea cake, the other one in the pack is a twist with chocolate. Both are spongy and great with tea or coffee.
There are other items that I enjoy equally:
Macarons ($8@) - shown in the pictures are Pistachio, Chestnut and Raspberry. Looks like they're serving petite sizes here, so it's relatively guilt-free From my limited experience with macarons I'd say these are good, but in terms of the choices of flavours, among other things, my ranking of macarons in HK would be Jean-Paul Hevin > Robuchon > LGB.
Tarte au Citron ($34) - after trying this there's no turning back to my Starbucks lemon tart even if it's just half the price. While you may think the again almondly shortcrust base is just standard fare, you'll surely fall in love with the smooth but tangy, yet not overwhelming lemon custard.
Well, my answer to the title of this review has to be positive. Le Salon is some little luxury that one can indulge in once in a while and feel it's worth the money.
