Le Chocolatier

Died and gone to Salted Caramel Heaven
Located at the basement of Robinsons, Heeren, lies a deep secret. One so rich that it will change your life forever.
Meet Le Chocolatier, a modest chocolate counter at the basement of Robinsons.
Walking by, you would think that it’s just another chocolate counter selling overpriced, pretentious gourmet chocolate, but just one bite *cue dramatic music* will change your life forever.
Run by Venchi, this chocolate counter not only carries their famous chocolates, but an array of desserts that are simply… Amazing!
Salted Caramel Gelato
They stake their claim by declaring that they only use high quality ingredients for their ice cream, and their not kidding! One bite and you’ll feel like you’ve just jumped into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
Creamy, rich and fully packed with flavour, this is what a salted caramel ice cream should taste like.
It’s so good that with every bite, I feel myself wanting to burst into a rendition of Ed Sheeren’s Thinking Out Loud and telling this delightful cup of goodness how I’ll be loving it till 70.
Cake in a jar
Tons of flavours to chose from here. We were undecided so we decided to try 2 each! (They were having a special one for one offer).
There’s a selection of Chocolate cheesecake, Lemon Cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake.
Chocolate Cheesecake
Strictly for the chocolate and cheesecake lovers. Chocolate is nice and strong and not too sweet, allowing the flavour of the cheese cake to come through. Might be a bit over powering for the non-​chocolate fans (like myself).
Strawberry Cheesecake
Even for a not fruit fan like myself, the strawberry cheese cake was a nice touch. Not overly sweet and with just the right amount of acidity, the strawberry cheesecake was a delight to have.
Lemon Cheesecake
Now this had to be the champion of the bunch. The nice, smooth, rich lemon curd on top of the cake helped bring out the flavours of the cheesecake, without compromising the flavours of the curd or the cake. A very well balanced dessert.
Overall, the cakes were all good. They aren’t baked in anyway so don’t expect a crisp base and they were more crumbs-​y than your average cheese cake.
The star of the show is definitely the salted caramel ice cream which is absolutely to die for.
