Do you remember your 1st time at Canele? I still do. The Paragon outlet had just opened and I was so thrilled to try their pretty desserts! More than 2 years on, many cakes later, I’m still loving it. While I’m no stranger to the cakes, the homemade Chocolats is a 1st for me.
There’s a wide gamut of flavours ranging from the ordinary to the more exotic (tomato with thyme, anyone?). Here are my favourites:
Royale: A truffle version of Canele’s signature cake, Le Royale! Dark chocolate ganache with feullitine biscuit.
Irish Cream: Chocolate + Liqueur = Love. Enough said.
Sesame: I just have a thing for black sesame. Now, if it’s dark instead of milk chocolate, I’ll be even happier!
Basilic: This is interesting with strawberry puree, basil and balsamic vinegar. Weird combination, isn’t it? But somehow, it works.
A box of 16 pralines doesn’t come cheap at $46+. Definitely not an everyday treat. In less than 30mins, all 16 darlings are savoured and relished to my satisfaction!
I had a nose bleed the next morning.
Ho-ho!! Wow that must have been the most delightful 30 minutes in the entire day! =)
the irish cream sounds awesome!! have gotta try it! =D
thanks!
you finished 16 chocolates in 30 min all by YOURSELF???!!! so FORMIDABLE~~ *bow*
