Local airline to offer chocolates in the shape of national treasures (2013/12/30)

A catering service that is a subsidiary of China Airlines has launched a new series of chocolates in the shape of national treasures. These sweets are expected to be available on China Airlines flights starting Jan 20.

The pastry chef paints the mold cavities with a thin coat of tempered chocolate then uses a soft brush to force out the air before proceeding to fill the mold. This piece of chocolate looks similar to the “Bell of Zhou,” one of the most famous relics in the National Palace Museum.

Other pieces include miniatures of the “Jadeite Cabbage” and “Meat-shaped Stone.”

Pastry Chef
“The toughest part is filling the mold cavities with a soft brush to achieve a smooth surface,” says this pastry chef. “About 30 percent of the chocolate we made in the first batch was spoiled.”

China Pacific Catering Services banked on the Chinese tourist market when launching this new souvenir line of chocolates. As of now, only three trained pastry chefs are certified to make them.

“We incorporated the elements of Chinese culture in food,” says Janice Lai, the chairwoman of China Pacific Catering Services. “To undertake this project, we cooperated with the most famous chocolate mold factory in Belgium.”

Following its earlier collaboration with a local hotel chain to launch dishes inspired by national treasures, the catering service hopes to further expand its business.

國寶巧克力

故宮有名的國寶翠玉白菜和肉形石，除了用看的，現在還能用吃的，華膳空廚看準中國觀光客來台灣，搶攻伴手禮市場，特地請廚師到故宮觀摩文物，再飛到比利時製作巧克力模具，將文物做成甜點，預計明年1月20號，就能在華航的班機吃到國寶甜點。

先在模具上面塗抹巧克力，將空氣擠壓出來，再將濃稠的巧克力醬倒進去，等待脫模，再用小刷子塗抹，這個故宮國寶宗周鐘巧克力是不是跟實體唯妙唯肖。

另外還有知名文物翠玉白菜還有肉形石巧克力，跟實體比一比，簡直就是文物縮小版。

[[廚師 張小姐]]
“我們脫模下來都有很多空洞，因為那個真的比較麻煩，要用水彩筆一直處理，處理得很完整，我們第一批製作一百組，大概報銷三十組左右”

華航公司看準中國觀光客市場，推出國寶巧克力當作伴手禮，目前只有三個受訓合格的廚師會製作。

[[華膳董事長 賴瑟珍]]
“我們用食品，加上中華文化的元素，來作為創意的發想，選擇比利時一個製作巧克力模型最有名的大廠”

之前才跟飯店合作，推出故宮文物料理，現在又有國寶甜點，華膳空廚除了要搶旅客的生意，更要拓展新市場。
