Tasting Event at Joël Durand 2


Again, I had the announcement for the tasting event of the new parfait from the shop by email, and the next flavor is "Corsican lemon" in August. They invited the customers who can join the tasting event by lottery this time. Of course, I applied for the event this time again. (I thought they would not invite the person joined the tasting event last time, so I didn’t expect I could joint it.)

Last Friday, I got the invitation email from the shop! YES!!! They had the same event four times from the morning, and I joined the first event out of four.

It was kind a cool outside. I felt it is not the day for eating the parfait from the morning when I opened the window after I woke up... . Anyway, I headed for the shop.

About 20 people were invited the event. It started from around 11:00am. Welcome drinks were brought our table.
Mirabelle was mine, but I forgot the name of other flovor... something peach with clove... I could feel summer with the taste of those drinks.
OK, it 's time for the parfait.
Here it is!
I took my first spoonful of parfait, and the taste was amazing! It was soooooo goooood! I thought I would jump up out of my chair and hit my head on the ceiling. J
While we were eating parfait, the French musician was singing the famous songs. (chanson?) 
The ceiling I almost hit my head...haha.
After we finished the parfait, the chocolates were served with the drink. It was sort of cold inside the shop, so I ordered the coffee. Cicada is milk chocolate, and the was very simple. Two pieces of chocolates next to cicada were ginger chocolate. The sweet ginger was covered by the dark chocolate. It was amazingly good! I checked the price of it before I left the shop. It costs about \2,100/50g... I was too luxury to get it. Well, I remembered the taste and how it looks like inside, so I will try to make it at home before I forget.

Shop manager introduced the story about the salt caramel cream. Later, salt caramel mousse was brought our table. They don't stop their service :) I was unusually too full with parfait and the chocolates. I guess I was the last one finished the mousse, chocolates and drinks.
Just before the event is over, the shop staff brought us the little surprise. Three different types of confitures were inside the bag, and it was the present from the shop. One is salt caramel cream and others is Cédrat(Lemon) and… I forgot the last one.
The event was over around 1:00pm. Well, I had to skip the lunch. My stomach was full of desserts…

I opened the package after I got back home, and I found two of them were the same taste “ salt caramel.” I missed the one that I forgot the name… I wonder how it tastes like I couldn’t get…
