A wise man once told me "don't trust anyone with two first names." This crossed my mind as I approached the Patrick Roger storefront. However, a few minutes of peeking in the front windows changed all that.
There were boxes of chocolates in criss-cross patterns in one window.
In an adjacent window, a chocolate christmas tree made out of individual chocolate leaves, dusted with sugar-snow.
And if that weren't enough - a chocolate bear in repose in another window. Truth be told, I was not quite sure how the bear fit into the christmas theme, but I was impressed nevertheless.
I stepped in, slightly intimidated. So many different chocolates, so much variety, such choice. I studied this wall for a long time, not quite sure what to get. One of the salespeople came over with a tray of chocolates. I tried a few different ones. Man, they were good!!! The decision was made much easier this way. I would let you know what I got, but it is a gift for a certain cutie I know......
Regardless, you cannot go wrong here. They have an online shop too!

Ooooo... chocolate.. my first love!
ReplyDeleteI remember going into this very shop and bought ONE mini bar of choc. Why one? Cause Gorilla didn't want any then... but of course I ended up only eating half. As Gorilla says... sharing is caring (am not exactly a caring person.. so one can imagine me not being too pleased... haha). The miserable half that I ate was exactly how first love feels... lasting sweetness that lasts till now.
Oh boy.... Someone is quite good at fiction, huh?
