Though Epiphany (Three Kings’ Day) on Jan. 6 is done and dusted, the French pastry associated with the Christian holiday – galette de rois – is still available this month in Hong Kong.
Parisian steakhouse chain La Vache! is offering a galette de rois until Jan. 31 that comes with a very special prize. This golden, flaky cake is traditionally made with puff pastry and a frangipane filling. The wow factor comes into play with the fève (charm) hidden inside.
If you’re the lucky diner to find the fève in your galette de rois slice (HKD128) when dining in-house at a La Vache! location in Hong Kong, you’ll be crowned “king or queen of the table” and treated to a round of bubbly for you and your guests.
Takeaway whole galette de rois (HKD588) are also available for purchase at all La Vache! branches, with pick-up in Soho. Each cake comes with a celebration kit complete with crowns. Whole cakes require 48-hour pre-order notice.
Even better, every time a fève is discovered, the finder is entitled to enter a grand draw to win a trip for two to Paris. To enter, you’ll need to share your fève discovery moment on Instagram, tagging @lavachehk and using the hashtag #LaVacheRoyals.
