I stopped by one of the Pierre Hermé boutiques ( this one happens to be by the Paris Opera) to get a few bonbons for my sister and macaroons for my Mom , but also because I was quite impressed by Pierre Hermé Rum Baba we all had a night before at the D'Chez Eux.

I have to say - boutique Pierre Hermé was quite impressive!

Coffee and meringue.

I so wish I could try the deserts!

Boudin Blanc
- ashed potatoes, veal demi-glace

In cardiology we have a term to describe a particular heart sound - crescendo-decrescendo murmur. That was indeed the sound I was making when this beauty of plate was presented to me. Nothing new or revolutionary, but impeccable execution of what would normally be a humble, often peasant meal - absolutely superb!!!

Oef De Mayonnaise
- deviled eggs

Very different presentation from what I was expecting, but the flavors were spot-on. Mayonnaise must have been flavored with curry or similar type of spice.
