"Delicious" here was more about smelling. I did not know why but I did not eat much cakes or sweets during this European trip. Breads and chocolate, yes, definitely. But cakes and other sweets, no. Whenever I stepped into a boulangerie patisserie, I could ooh aah over these beautiful cakes, but I never bought a single slice. Even when I was Paris. Except for macaroons, which is another story for another day (if I even get into that).
The same happened when I was in Riquewihr. I walked past this shop after the wine tasting session. The smell from the shop practically called to me. I stopped and back tracked to the shop. After ogling for a few minutes, I decided to buy something to eat, part of hunger and part of buying something when you were in a new place. And I was curious about Gugelhopf. So of course, I bought its smaller version. What did it taste like? Well, strangely enough, I could not recall much of the taste. I think I did not like it very much. That might be why I never bought it again when I got back to Strasbourgh.
Food aside, this boulangerie patisserie was a feast for vision. Why are cake shops in Singpore and Vietnam so boring?
