Chocolate Factory

It was a fairly lazy Saturday last week. Met Celest for the Conversation Party Private Sale which was held at Gallery Hotel. After spending a couple of hours (and dollars? ;p) in there, browsing through racks of clothes from the States or elsewhere. I bought 2 dresses and a top - 1 dress is a gorgeous confection of black lace over turquoise (matched my clutch from Quintessentials!) with asymetrical end. The other dress is a fuchsia number with criss-cross halter. The top is a white babydoll, perfect for my trip to Phuket.

There are lots of developments in the area. So many shops and eateries have sprung up in the quay area. We were ambling along the area, looking for a place for some light food as it was close to 3pm by then and none of us had any bites since breakfast.

Finally chanced upon The Chocolate Factory, think it it in the Robertson Quay area. And naturally we had to try it. The place served nothing but chocolate and some tea/coffee.

No sandwiches at all. Just chococlate cakes, pastries and souffles and the fine chocolates.


We shared 2 items - Chocolate Truffle cake and Desire (or it could be some other name).

Chocolate truffle has 4 layers of sponge cakes with chocolate filling, before being glazed with dark chocolate and sprinkled with white chocolate shavings and a raspberry. The drizzle of raspberry sauce on the place complemented the dark chocolate perfectly.

Desire is like rocher. Hazelnut praline with wafer and milk chocolate. Love the nutty combination with the sweet chocolate.

I had the blackforest chocolate drink which was not too bad. Somehow I prefer Spinelli's chocolate drink as the taste of cocoa is more obvious at Spinelli's.

I would have to go back to try the chocolates - hmmm, buy a box of dark chocolate. Yum!
