I read some IG/online raves over this matcha chocolate cake from Jean-Paul Hévin but… it’s so underwhelming.

Day 12: Magie Du Chocolat マジ・ドゥ・ショコラ

I don’t understand why Magie Du Chocolat マジ・ドゥ・ショコラ is so popular. There’s constantly a stream of people queuing and because I was sitting right next to the cashier, I could see how much those people were spending. Let’s just say they didn’t hesitate to fork out yen for chocolates. But I was not impressed with their 35% & 75% mixed chocolate soft serve, and the signature baked chocolate soufflé cakes (matcha so sweet omg). Average and very forgettable.

Three cakes just for me me and me 🙋🏻♀️ Yes that’s right, I don’t share cakes 🍰😆 Especially not when raw cakes are so difficult to find in Tokyo! Love how colourful they are; amazing that no yucky artificial colouring is used. Pretty for the eyes, and taste as good as they look too! I chose everything with some hints of chocolate: strawberry coconut with cacao amaretto, tahini banana with black currant cacao amaretto, and I think the last one has cacao banana with blueberry and citrus. Don’t even ask me to pick a favourite, it’s like asking a mom to choose her favourite kid 😂Pancakes sound like desserts but I had them for breakfast anyway 😂 These matcha pancakes were as fluffy and soft as they looked, and I love how eggy they tasted too, kind of like an omelette?! 🥞🍳 My favourite part is the stellar anko paste, not surprisingly since this wagashi cafe specializes in cute little dango 🍡 Must come!!Had an amazing amazing aaaaaaamazing lunch at a vegan popup today! Look how colourful the trio hummus plate was! 🌈 Miso, beetroot sage, and charcoal flavours, plus assorted raw and pickled vegetables, chickpeas, harissa, and a couple of gluten free pita breads. Absolute dream plate!! 💯 The best part? No artificial colouring used; everything is all natural. I want to eat this everyday 😭 (I bought extra for lunch tomorrow hehehe)You won’t believe the quantity of soft serves I used to inhale when traveling in the past. Soft serves for breakfast, brunch, lunch, teatime, dinner, supper, been there done that. But ever since there’s @matchayasg, I stopped because any flavours I want, I know we can do in-house and make it however intense and strong as I want. There’s a freedom to having a soft serve shop of your own haha. Anyway. Nowadays I’ll only have soft serves if the flavours are special... Like this Jiro-ame in Kanazawa! It’s a type of traditional rice malt candy syrup made without sugar and the base is soy. I love it! Not too sweet and the texture is so creamy even though there’s no dairy. The swirling is ugly but I can live with it 😂Hellooooooo why did no one tell me Japanese soufflé pancakes are soooooo good??!!! 🥞😱🤤 (if you did, I’m sure I probably just ignored you back then because I’m not a pancake fan, sorry!!) Tried my first proper pancakes in Kanazawa last weekend and I was hooked and had no self control as usual — went to 4 pancake cafes within 48 hours 😅 多聞 was my fav out of all; look at that jiggly stack and imagine the lightest softest texture paired with creamy mont blanc sweet potato purée 😌I’m Featured!
