Artisanal Chocolates Hand-Delivered by Pageboys
Nothing says romance quite like hand-made chocolates, and The Peninsula offers a variety of opportunities to add a touch of sweetness to Valentine’s Day celebration. Fresh from his third-place finish at the prestigious 2015 World Chocolate Masters competition in Paris, The Peninsula’s Maître Chocolatier Marijn Coertjens has once again created a selection of exquisitely wrought confectionaries to light up the most romantic day of the year.
Hand-crafted in the hotel’s famous Chocolate Room by Coertjens and his team are a collection of “haute couture” artisanal chocolates, each with its own unique look and flavour inspired by a variety of gemstones. Priced at HK$ 1,800 per box, these edible works of art will be hand-delivered to the sender’s beloved by a Peninsula pageboy, only on 13 or 14 February 2016.
Available on a first-come, first-served basis, these limited edition Valentine’s Day artisanal chocolates can be ordered by telephone on +852 2696 6694 or by e-mail at from 14 January 2016 onwards.
