The Beard Papa Cream Puff



This is one of my absolute favourites - cream puff pastries by Beard Papa!! The choux pastry remains crispy as the vanilla cream is only injected into the pastry shell at the point of sale. Then, they are dusted with some fine caster sugar and boxed with a dry ice packet (if your journey to home is long). The original vanilla flavour is the best even though they sometimes do special fillings such as green tea or pumpkin.

Beard Papa originated in Japan (where I enjoyed them immensely) but there are now many branches in Hong Kong and New York. And when they opened a stall in Boston, you can imagine me thinking "Well, my quality of life just went up a notch...."
