I hate receiving food as a present but this one was an exception. My colleagues gave me a big box of chocolates for a farewell present and never did I know how delicious a piece of chocolate could be. Many says Valhrona's chocolate is the best. Well, I think Valhrona now needs to beat its new competitor. At least I think Debauve's chocolate is less commercialised. Almost being addicted to their chocolates, I searched them on OpenRice and discovered they also have cakes as well. So I went there w
Almost being addicted to their chocolates, I searched them on OpenRice and discovered they also have cakes as well. So I went there with a few friends for tea time during the long weekend.
I can assure you that there was definitely no dissapointment. We ordered a few things to share amongst us.
Chocolate Truffle:
The sales assistant told me it was their 'MUST-TRY' item, made with their own chocolate. We all thought it was the best out of all. It was different to any truffles out there. Compare to Vanilla's and Mandarin's chocolate truffle, this was FAR better. We actually encored this one and I even bought 2 slices for take-away. That's how good it was.
Opera:
Definitely up to hotel-standards. Very well balanced layers of coffee cream and chocolate ganache, with thin layers of chocolate sponge cake to enchance its texture.
Coffee Eclair:
I only had a little of this one. Not as good as Opera, but it had a very strong coffee aftertaste.
Although they said they had coffee and was their new item, I was more interested in their hot chocolate while my friends wanted to try their tea. I must say their hot chocolate was very rich, almost to the stage where I had to spoon it out like gelato. Trust me...IT WAS GOOD.!! As for the tea, I didn't have any but my friends all liked it.
So in conclusion, we all enjoyed the tea time, and their cakes were as good as their chocolate.
