After having not been to Robertson Walk<\/b> for ages, I was surprised to find that it has now become a rather lively place filled with several new Japanese restaurants.
\nMy friends and I wanted to eat at one of the new restaurants by the river, but many of them were packed and hence we ended up at Yoyogi, a Japanese restaurant along Mhd Sultan Road. There were many Japanese families around and many cute Japanese children running around.
\nAfter eating a rather unsatisfactory dinner at Yoyogi, we decided we had to make up for the dissatisfaction by going for some really sinful dessert. We went to The Chocolate Factory<\/b> at Robertson Walk where the brightly lit cafe welcomed us with its display of mont blancs, French cheesecakes, tiramisus, chocolate etc.
\nIt’s an open concept kitchen and you can see the French master and his staff at work – mixing chocolate in the mixer, melting chocolate in pots, making espresso, cappuccino, hot chocolate etc. The lovely smells flood your nostrils and you just feel like eating and drinking everything.
\nWe chose the Mont Blanc, Tiramisu and the French Cheesecake. The French cheesecake was quite a light one. It wasn’t very cheesy so maybe it’s good for people who don’t like their cheesecakes too heavy. The tiramisu was creamy and moist but it’s not the best I’ve had. The mont blanc was ok, but my friend thought it was a bit too sweet. I thought it could have done with more chestnut puree. I didn’t quite like all that chestnut jelly-like substance at the bottom.
\nThe cafe has a nice, relaxed atmosphere, and it’s especially nice to dine alfresco and watch the people walk by. I quite like the place so I suppose I will go there again and give other desserts a try.
\nService: OK
\nPrice: $10 – $20<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
