You can clearly see an assortment of goodies: strawberries, bananas, yoghurt cheesecake bites in lavender, rose, bergamot and lemongrass flavours, lavender cheesecake, chestnuts, dried figs and assortments of dried fruit/nuts. Presentation wise its quite quaint and appetising, and was a decent variety.

The showstoppers were definitely the yoghurt cheesecake bites. Served cold and in cute bite size pieces the floral flavours were quite pronounced, not artificial in flavour, and definitely tasted great whether they were dipped or not in the fondue. Although cheesecake in general can be quite dense, the cake itself was light and not too overfilling which we did appreciate.

Now to the fondue...a bowl of simmering "70% soy-free, vegan dark chocolate mixed with Italy’s San Pietro a Pettine truffles" goodness. In terms of the flavour, it would be a love/hate thing for some people, afterall, not everyone appreciates the fragrant flavour/smell of truffles. Having said this, it was quite enjoyable for us and combination of the different elements with this rich, slightly bitter and truffled infused mix was suprisingly nice and tasty. You definitely get a wafting smell of the truffle every so often whilst you're consuming it too!

Two teas: Soothing Love - Chocolate with Lavender + Sweet Paris - Raspberry, Bluberry, Vanilla Rooibos with lavender, rose, elderberry)

In addition to our fondue set, we were able to try some of their teas as well. Both with distinct flavour combinations, their respective chocolatey and fruity flavours really shone through. In comparison, sweet Paris would be leaning towards the sweeter side on its own without the addition of any sugars (which they do offer in Bergamot and Rosemary on each table) and soothing love encompassed more of that richer undertone of flavour in tea.

Towards the conclusion of our fondue set experience, we were even treated to a free skin consultation by an in house aromatherapist and we were gifted a 10ml bottle of facial oil specifically customised to our skin condition/skin type as well! It was definitely quite an experience seeing her mix the differing oils to create our own personalised serum and it was not something you'd expect them to offer seeing as we specifically came here to try out their chocolate fondue.

Lastly in terms of the environment, it was definitely chilled and laid back. The cafe itself isn't that big but despite having several tables and chairs it was overall very spacious and comfortable. We opted to sit in their lounge space (i.e. on the ground) and it was honestly quite unique and relaxing just to be sipping on hot tea and eating chocolate covered cheesecake bites whilst chilling on their giant pillows - definitely not something you'd find common in hong kong!

Overall, we had an enjoyable experience and would recommend it.
