anyway, we were really feeling peckish today and lunch wasnt very filling so my mom was asking me where shall we get some teabreak and immediately i suggested Choupinette and boy was i glad. when i first walked into the stores, i was a bit apprehensive, coz they only had 1 item of each type on display and looked quite sad to have the glass counter looking so lonely, also the prices were a teeny bit high for a teabreak thingy $5.90 for a small piece of dessert when i wasnt even sure of its quality. But i decided to have a whack at it since i was already there haha and after much consideration, i bought a mocoa, which is a chocolate truffle cake, a strawberry tart and a jam donut ( they had a more fancy french name for this, but err yeah its basically a jam donut..haha) AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD!!!
the chocolate was so rich and velvety smooth, and i was in chocolate heaven, it was satisfying to the extent that i didnt even feel more-ish after finishing it. yesh. and according to my mom and sis, the jam donut was the best they have ever eaten (i personally detest donuts..i think they are weird sweet things) and as for the strawberry tart. it was also just as good. the base was almond meal and in between there was almond cream, and the strawberries were plump and juicy as you can tell from the pic yar? hmm it was DEFINITELY worth my $5.90...i cant wait to go back and try the other chocholate stuffs haha. yeah im a shameless chocolate addict :p oh and they sell creme bulee too, which they will caramelise on the spot..wow huh
oh and the reason why there was only 1 item of each type on display is coz that item is only for display, the rest are kept in the kitchen to be well refridgerated...so when you have ordered they will get a new fresh piece from the kitchen, how cool yar? :p
