Le Chocolat Cafe


Le Chocolat Cafe is a new sandwich & pastry café within the new boutique hotel The Club, and is situated along Ann Siang Hill, right where you can find my favourite K-Ki as well. The café here is small and still finding a foothold in this seemingly sleepy but charmingly peaceful part of Singapore, and I noticed that service can be quite slow as well. Nevertheless, it is new after all, so some baby steps are understandable.

Chocolate Tart


I love the Chocolate Tart, I really do. The crust pastry was neither too hard nor was it too crumbly or flaky, and when cut right with the side of a fork it comes away cleanly with the chocolate intact. Wonder what I mean? Next picture please :)


Lovers of dark chocolate may be a little disappointed with the thin layer of dark chocolate, but I myself really liked the thick and smooth milk chocolate middle. It was what kept me going fork after fork at this simple yet greatly satisfying tart.

Nutty Chocolate


The Nutty Chocolate on the other hand was facing an identity crisis of sorts; it was neither nutty (extremely fine traces of nuts) nor was it exactly chocolatey (too light hazelnut choc mousse/sponge). The flavours were not distinct and neither did they blend very well.

Tell you what, I'll have another one of that chocolate tart please :)

Service
Very friendly and polite.

Price
$7 each.

  2. I quite like milk choc too, it's what I've grown up with after all :)

    Not sure about the rest of the cakes because I didn't get to try them, but I do like the tart.

    Quiet, peaceful setting too.

  3. I have been wanting to visit this place after I walked past it a few months ago. Their cakes are priced quite reasonably in spite of its location.

  4. I found out about this place when I was walking to K Ki from Otto. At that time it was still under renovation... $7 is reasonable?
