Hadn't been visiting here for a while, but I also had forgotten about the Choux puff here over the years; the fancy mousse cakes seemed to have gotten my attention more ever since my second visit.

Now that there is Shuu by KOKI Tamagoyaki in existence, the choux pastry here pales in comparison; this one is significantly less crusty, but still a light and well-executed one in its own right (because it's really not fair to compare them both this way). What won me in this one though is the generous filling of Vanilla cream within; it's thick, massively speckled with vanilla beans and really rich — absolutely good on its own. All that, and the fact that the pastry also now carries caramalised nuts within for a sweet crunch; a surprise element I would have never expected inside a choux puff. Certainly high up somewhere in my Choux pastry list even if it's not in the top spot.
