[Taipei pastry shop / 台北甜點店] Bonheur，Bonne Heure (中文請按"see more")
During my last stay in Taipei, I also had the chance visiting Bonheur, Bonne Heure, a French pastry shop opened by yet another good friend of mine. The chef Claire Lin and her husband have spent years in France and thus have immersed herself into the French spirit and art of living. The name of the shop plays a pun of two French words "bonheur" (happiness) and "bonne heure" (good times), which is exactly how the couple has pictured it - to offer customers wonderful pastries and a good time to enjoy.
The style of pastries here is pretty feminine and delicate. Claire has spent a lot of time testing different recipes and making her own creations aside from traditional ones. She also modifies tastes as well as presentations of a pastry often to make it better. Opening a pastry shop does require countless efforts and the life as a pastry chef is never meant to be fancy. Beautiful pastries are done by repetetive work every single day, and we all know it's hard to be as enthusiastic after long working hours and never-changing daily routines. That's why I always admire all my chef friends who chose this career, stay passionate about what they're doing, and never stop to improve.

上回回台北，還在板橋找到了我的秘密基地 —— 好朋友Claire夫婦與兄嫂合開的法式甜點店「Bonheur，Bonne Heure」。店名玩了法文的諧音與雙關，希望所有來到店裡的客人都能在這裡嚐到幸福（bonheur）的好滋味、以及度過一段美好時光（bonne heure）。
Claire與Pierre都是非常溫暖纖細的人，在我剛到巴黎的時候就伸出援手。後來Claire開始學甜點，我們也經常交換實習工作的酸甜苦辣。那些辛苦與巴黎的生活點滴如今都變成了養份，持續地滋潤著他們如今不輟的甜點創作及每日的工作。開甜點店從來就不只是實現夢想、也不是在糖和奶油的夢幻氛圍中輕鬆變魔術，而是怎麼在日常不斷的重複勞動裡找到繼續的動力、在堅持中看到持續進步的可能；不忘記甜點帶給自己快樂的初心、以及和更多人分享的快樂。
在他們八月在法國充滿電回去之後，決定在原本的五六日之外，也開放週三週四的下午「恬靜時光」，供應飲料、馬卡龍與常溫蛋糕（新鮮蛋糕還是以五六日為主），讓更多人能享受一段美好的靜謐時光、體驗法式的生活精神。如果還沒有嚐過主廚Claire的手藝，不妨一試。
