Pie-Chou: Custard Puff

I took a risk and went on a date with Mr Maple-syrup flavored Pie-Chou today.

It`s like a custard puff only that it`s much bigger, around the size of a palm, with fresh cream pumped into it.

You can taste the fragrant maple-syrup lingering in the cream. The fragrance just wells up in your throat as soon as you swallow the cream.

I`m not a big fan of cream and mousse but I decided to forgive this dessert on the account that it was successful in wooing me with its subtle maple-syrup advances.

Unfortunately, I repeated the same mistake as I did with little Ms Green Japanese Okashi.

Ate it with its black companion, Mr Black Cocoa Pie-Chou. Overdose of sweet stuff. Needed to flush my stomach out.

It is not true. Too much of a good thing can kill.

At least the gastronomic appreciation of it.
