The Courtyard at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore - Chocolate Buffet

[buildingmybento]

Disclaimer: In exchange for two chocolate buffets, I am writing this review.

Although a few Thai desserts come to mind, when I’m traveling to Bangkok, my mind is set on the spicy mains, the soups, and exotic juices.

However, if you’re in town for a while, sometimes you want to take a break from all of that delicious street food, and delve into the Western world of cakes, pastries, and…chocolate.

The Chocolate Buffet at The Sukhothai has been delighting patrons for more than 20 years.  It was the brainchild of Swiss-born Executive Pastry Chef Laurent Ganguillet, who jovially will prepare you whatever he can with his array of chocolate buttons from around the world…including Mexico, the native home of cacao.

Already booked a table?  Then let’s see what’s in store for you–

What have we here?  Cakes with passion fruit, chocolate-covered bananas, vanilla marshmallows, truffles, chocolate tarts, and much, much more!  Grab yourself a glass of milk, pace yourself, and grab another glass of milk.

But we haven’t even seen the chef in action.

Wait for It.

Now we’re talking!  Chef, let’s start off a hot chocolate with cinnamon and almond shavings.

Beautiful!  But I’m also feeling a bit peckish.  What do you have in the food department?

Churros with chocolate fondue (no doubt paying homage to the chef’s Swiss roots)  and housemade whipped cream?  You shouldn’t have!

But, did you know that in Spain, churros are served with hot chocolate?

And just like that, I had another hot chocolate to my right…

As well as a Thai Iced Tea, for when I needed a short break from the chocolate.

That said, in spite of its tempting name, The Chocolate Buffet isn’t just for the sweet tooth in you.

Preparing the blinis for my caviar plate

On the other side of the hall from the desserts were fruit, caviar, savory snacks, and canapés intended to be eaten alongside tea.  Overall, I’d stick with the sweets, but I did quite enjoy some tropical fruit, caviar, and a sampling of sushi.

Intrigued readers can visit the chocolate buffet every Friday – Sunday, between 14:00 and 17:00.  Now if you will excuse me, I have some hot chocolate demanding my attention.

Chocolate buffet by Peter Arthold

[foodiereviews]

Last weekend my friend and I went to Cafe Fleuri in Boston to experience their ‘chocolate bar’.  That’s a bit of a misnomer - you can get alcohol, but really it’s a buffet of the most exquisite chocolate concoctions you can imagine, in the setting of a high-class afternoon tea, complete with live music (jazz). 

I really cannot praise the desserts sufficiently.  The opera cake.  The chocolate passionfruit tart.  The raspberry lemon panna cotta.  The caramel mousse dome.  The blood orange pate.  The spiced dark chocolate soup.  Imaginative, beautifully presented, top-notch quality, and of course just mind-blowingly delicious. 

In addition to a very wide range of pastries, there’s a crepe station, chocolate fountain, and a sundae bar.

There are some options for non-chocolate fans, if one happens to get dragged there by a friend, family member, or sweetheart.  Not a lot, but enough that they won’t go hungry.

They did have a vegan section.  There were probably plenty of things that were gluten-free, though I didn’t see anything labelled as such.  Sometimes things weren’t labelled at all, which made for fun adventures in taste exploration : )

Tea and coffee are provided, and they make a pleasant palate-cleanser.  My first cup of tea I made as sweet milk tea, but really I should have left it plain -  rich dairy-based sweetness was already everywhere.

One of the things they had out was popcorn - ordinary salted and buttered popcorn - which I thought was quite odd at first.  But after all those rich desserts both of us were craving salt and savory *so badly*.  A bowl of popcorn was exactly what we needed.

I would recommend going with a friend and splitting one of everything that interests you - it was amazing how fast those delicate little bites filled us up.  We barely managed to try everything we wanted.

Sadly, the price is commensurate with the quality - $42.00/adult (children are less, holiday and special event pricing may vary).  The chocolate bar is held Saturdays from September to June, with seatings at 11:00am, 11:30am, 1:00pm and 1:30pm.  The website doesn’t specify whether reservations are mandatory or just recommended, but I wouldn’t chance not making one.  The dress code is “Smart Casual“ which apparently means khakis and polo shirt for men, casual shirt and blouse for women.

And yes it can be booked for private parties, which, how amazing would that be? : )

Death by Chocolate

We had just finished working out at the Tennis and Racquet club, and I had just stated my intention to drown myself in chocolate, while both Dominick and Armand looked at me slightly aghast. I must admit in the past I have tried to drown my sorrows in decadence but this time, “I was not on the brink of a meltdown,” I assured them. This month’s tea, at Casey’s request I might add, had been…

There is so much chocolate in my apartment right now. It's ridiculous and I love it.
