I was so tempted to revisit the excellent bakery of Joël Robuchon, and I did. I bought my girlfriend too a croissant while I tried the chocolate Danish. It was so good! I also bought this interesting set of biscuit, the coco tuiles. I just learnt this new word, tuile, which means "tile" in French. As you can already guess right, it means very thin biscuits.
The thin cookies are good, with this really strong smell of butter. Some ladies would be so scared of that, but I am not bothered at all. It is so delicate that it can shatter into many pieces if you don't pay attention. The coconut flavour is very strong too. From the appearance you cannot see anything that looks like coconut thing, but the tiny coconut slices are actually embedded inside the thin tuiles. That's amazing.
This $50 tuiles made my day. This is exactly what a sweet snack should be.
