I think many Thai people still misunderstand a pastry called ‘cream puff’. Some would say like ‘Cream puff? What’s that? ‘I’ve never known it before.’ ‘How does it taste?’ However, I’m sure if I tell them that the cream puff is what they have been calling ‘éclair’, they must get it right away. A cream puff (profiterole) is a ball pastry filled with whipped cream, pastry cream or even ice cream. There are several varieties of cream puff, large, small, plain or decorative.
But wait! So what is the real ‘éclair’ then? The éclair is also a pastry in the shape of an oblong. It is filled with a coffee-or-chocolate flavored pastry cream, custard or whipped cream, etc. On top, the éclair is decorated by the melted chocolate and the icing.
I agree with Lookpad because I misunderstand about eclair and cream puff in the past but now I can tell which is eclair or cream puff. In my opinion I like cream puff more than eclair and last Saturday I bought some cream puff of Beard PaPa’s to my younger brother. He liked it very much because it is not too sweet and when we bite it, I can say only..Oh! it is yummy! Do you try this? Comment by Sirimas (Jang)- SMTEB
