A couple of weekends ago, we decided to try the afternoon tea at the Salon opened by the famous Michelin-starred chef, Joel Robuchon, at Bellavita, in Taipei.
Let your eyes feast on the beautiful pastries and confections at this dessert counter ...
(never fear ... see below for more pics of the ones we chose ...)
Staub teapots ...
A delicious bread basket!
(The brioche was truly fabulous!)
Our afternoon tea set for 2 ...
(We chose a chicken salad sandwich, a raspberry mille feuille [their mille feuille is one of their signature pastries], and a tarte au citron. The rest - financiers and macaroons - come with the set.)
Our chicken salad sandwich/baguette ...
Tarte au Citron ....
Gosh ... just look at all that lovely lemony juices flowing from the supremely deliciously tart Tarte au Citron! I'm amazed how they managed to contain all these juices and still keep the tart shell nice and crisp! Delicious!!!
Beautiful raspberry mille feuille ....
Lovely macaroons (the chocolate one was my fav!) and financier ...
It's amazing how much goodness is packed into that little confection - the macaroon!
I'm now hoping that my friends will come visit me just so that I'll have excuses to revisit the Salon de the de Joel Robuchon!
(For those who are curious, Joel Robuchon is famous for having trained world-renown chefs like Gordon Ramsay. He is also apparently the only chef in the world who has received a total of 25 Michelin Guide stars for his various restaurants around the world!)
