Joël Durand, "Liegeois" Mania

The shop "Joël Durand" tasting event, "Liegeois(parfait) Mania" restarted from last month. Of course, soon I received the invitation from the shop, I applied for it. They want to invite all the customers who want to join the event, but they can't...so it was selected by the lottery as usual. I was so lucky, I was selected one of the invited customers.

I brought my friend to the shop last Tuesday night the day we were invited. This time, I had to pay 1000 yen for the free drinks. It means all you can drink. The event started from 8:00pm and the staff brought the Chocolate & Mango roll cake to our table first. It was very unique, the fresh pepper was sprinkled on the top by the shop staff before we eat. It's difficult to see them in the photo(below), but you can see them on the left side of the cake. It really smells of pepper, but the taste was really unique and good. I will try it at home again.

This time the Liegeois was peach. White peach sorbet on the top, yellow peach&mint confiture and chocolate ice cream were in the middle and thyme brownies were in the bottom. The decoration on the very top were peach chocolate and heart shaped meringue. It looked too lovely to eat!

The taste was amazingly soooooo good. Especially I loved sorbet a lot.  It made me happy once I ate it, and I think I can eat bucketful of it :P

While we were eating, a professional musician was playing the french songs with the violin.

After we finished eating, the shop manager announced us we were going to play a bingo game. 30 people played the game, and I won the second prize and the prize was free voucher for next Liegeois. :) I can have it again for free!

Before we leave, they gave us the little souvenir "a box of chocolate" from the shop. Lovely service, isn't it?

Summer is just around the corner, and the perfect time for eating Liegeois! I definitely will go back to the shop which serves the best parfait in Tokyo during the summer time.
