GARIGUETTE: A Slice of Japan's Popular Napoleon Pastries in Hong Kong

GARIGUETTE, a popular Japanese patisserie known for its Instagram-worthy Napoleon pastries, has opened its first overseas branch in Hong Kong. The shop features a few dine-in seats and an open kitchen, filling the entire space with the buttery and caramelized aromas of their signature Mille-pressé. Customers can watch the entire process of making the crispy Napoleon pastries through the glass, an experience that is both therapeutic and mouth-watering. Napoleon ($165) The classic strawberry Napoleon. Layers of crisp pastry are piped with smooth custard cream and topped with fresh strawberry slices, offering a bite of sweet, fragrant bliss. Earl Grey & Apricot ($140) A Hong Kong exclusive flavor. The Earl Grey cream has a subtle tea fragrance, paired with sweet and sour apricot jam, creating a refreshingly sweet combination that's highly recommended. The shop also offers savory Napoleon pastries, such as avocado with smoked salmon, cheese and ham, all accompanied by smooth mashed potatoes as the filling, which sounds delicious. Next time, I'll definitely try the savory pastries for lunch. 📍Shop D, G/F, 42-48 Paterson Street, Fashion Walk, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong
