POMME: A Taste of Paris in Hong Kong
Christopher KL Lau
Located deep in the heart of Wanchai, Hong Kong, is a little taste of Paris for those with a sweet tooth to sample a diverse variety of cupcakes, tarts and cakes. For years, Hong Kong was lacking any form of truly authentic European style cafe culture whereby customers can simply chill out and enjoy good company and conversation. Enter Pomme Hong Kong to fulfill this simple need.
Pomme Hong Kong is the brain child of Tracy Chow, a 'Le Cordon Bleu' educated chef and pastries expert. Motivated and inspired by a life long desire to follow her dreams and passion, Tracy gave up her life as a consultant to train in Paris at the famed culinary establishment and then went to work as an intern in Tokyo in an contemporary cake shop; here she further enhanced and honed her skills to the tee.
Parisian Cafe Style
Chow’s dreams came full circle when she hedged her bets and opened Pomme. She was inspired by the unique, chic and stylish Parisian cafes which she experienced and visited when she was a student in France. Realizing that there was a gap in the Hong Kong market for such a venture, she went for it and now several years on, Pomme is still going strong amid widespread critical acclaim for her authentic sweetened and sugar-coated baked products. Pomme has built up a loyal customer base and this has seen Chow diversify into catering services, jewelry and cake accessories.
Chow is a skilled practitioner and spends hours and days on end perfecting her selection of cakes and cookies. Some of her most popular cake choices include Trio, Fraoula, banana cake, Angelina and Chestnut cake. Chow has meticulously created a huge array and copious amount of appetizing cupcakes rich in taste and visual appeal; she seemingly has a cupcake for every special occasion and interestingly, for every animal! Oh and Pomme also serves a mean coffee for customers to sip and enjoy the aroma!
Pomme Hong Kong is the perfect place for people to relax, chat and enjoy the art of conversation; a skill seemingly lost in the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong. Its interior reflects those of cafes found in Paris; namely, snug, cosy and intimate. Hong Kong has seen the recent growth of European style cafes and competition is tough yet Pomme has remained one of the market leaders through their amicable and friendly customer centered service.
