New Foodie Goodies jet-fresh from Paris!!!

image

We love hosting visitors in our adopted city of Hong Kong, especially when they come armed with delicious delicacies, then they are even more welcomed through our doors!  Today, a good friend of the Mister’s arrived from Paris, loaded with a bounty of goodies thoughtfully prepared by his wife (a fellow foodie / gourmet chef).  She truly knew the way into another foodie’s heart, and I’m so excited to start opening jars and bottles, and munching on these rare treasures with a good loaf of Robuchon bread.
