Eclair

the 2nd round of breakfast......
there's no such thing as only one breakfast in France....hahahhaha
Breakfasts are treated with respect here....hence it also comes with desserts
hahahhahahahaa

sometimes u just can't resist all those pretty things sitting by the windows of any boulangerie
such attention seekers
and show stopper
u just have to walk in and get some
hahahaha
Dinos the Great & Monkey thought of getting ONE SINGLE PIECE of Eclair
and ended up with two....and a xmas buche de Noel
*slaps forehead*

and there's so many other flavours of Eclair
from chestnut to pistachios to toffee and of coz the traditional chocolat
all this in a small village with one row of shop at Dijon
and that village is called Gevrey Chambertin
:)))))))
Eclair was born in France somewhere around 1860s
baked to such lightness and hollowness in the middle
it's really really crispy :))))

then yummy fillings are being pumped in
and it must match the glace/topping on the top

oh yum....the best Eclairs were the above fr this village of Gevrey Chambertin
not only it's crispy, fresh, tasty with just enough and just nice fillings
it's not too sweet
it was darn cheap at about Euro 1.60 each..
*in Paris at Le Maison du Chocolat or any other Chocolatier...it sets u to Euro 5 each*
*that converts to RM 21 for a damn Eclair in Paris*
oh yummmm...am craving for it now...
prollie I should learn how to make some...
teee heeee heeeeee

Yeayyy tmrw is a public holiday in Malaysia
*we msians are lazy bastards*

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!
