cheese!!

i’ve been craving good cheese since i got to asia, and i found it at Primo Trattoria.

they have a cheese counter, cheese storage room, and display. heaven.. for those of us that miss good pizza, good parmesan.. and stilton.

chef’s selection of cheeses. good mix of hard, creamy, nutty and sharp.

caesar with freshly shaved parmesan to share..

and lastly… PIZZA. this is their “Diavola”- tomato sauce, large salami, onions, red pepper. i added arugula.. personal preference.

sO good. so happy to have found a place for a good slice.

micasa dolci

finding new places for my sweet tooth..

this small dessert cafe has colorful modern decor.. and maybe 7 tables to eat at… all in all it is a cute quiet place to enjoy tea and quality sweets, but for a little higher in price.

their small macaron selection is well thought out..

chamomile with chocolate filling, lavender with jam filling.

their molten chocolate cake with green tea ice cream and fruit.

this not so pleasant looking concoction is actually delicious.. with caramel ice cream and fresh bananas.

dessert at l’atelier de joel robuchon.

we enjoyed dinner.. but i’m only posting dessert since i’m so behind on blogging!

robuchon’s signature raspberry chocolate “sphere”

perfectly plated with vanilla gelato.

after breaking the sphere..  raspberry and cream i believe.. entertaining and delicious.

their chocolate “souffle” offering.. with a molten chocolate center, white and dark chocolate foams. the “souffle” part was a bit disappointing, i prefer the traditional souffle in ramekin.. with a caramelized crispy outside and a lighter consistency that falls.. this was almost like a spongy mousse.

my perfect latte, with a robuchon coffee macaron that i adore.

*the robuchon website isn’t updated with their taipei location.. it’s @ the bella vita mall.
