| - MoRoCo Chocolat comes highly recommended by a friend, who has said nothing but good things about this place. So I decided that it was worth a trip, or two in my case. First time around, after a satisfying dinner at Ciao Wine Bar, my friend and I stopped here for some desserts. We could not make up our minds, as always, so a plate with practically everything on it was clearly the right choice. Indulgent, I know. But let us not forget the principle behind this blog. We ordered the Rich Enough to Twitch, which had five different components:
- Red Velveteen: Red velvet crêpes with cream cheese, fresh strawberries, red velvet cake crumb filling, drizzled with chocolate sauce
- Legally Blonde: Dulcey blonde chocolate tarte served with coconut almond struesel
- S'more Love: Molton chocolate cake topped with marshmallow
- Tiramisu: Sweet Italian sabayon with espresso
- Apple Caramel Cheesecake: Caramel cheesecake finished with caramelized apples
The great thing about getting a plate with lots of different things is that, of course, you get to try a variety of items, and you are less likely to walk away completely and totally disappointed. The worst thing on that plate was the S'more Love, let's just say that I'm not a fan of burnt chocolate and foamy marshmallow? The best thing on that plate was the Red Velveteen, it was so good, really the perfect marriage between different flavours, drizzled with rich decadent chocolate sauce. Everything else falls somewhere in between.
Of course I had to come back for a second trip to try their macarons, that only makes the most sense in the world. My favourite was the Espresso, sweetness meets bitterness is like boy meets girl, the story just writes itself. The other Macarons were delightful as well.
Come to my blog and read more? :)
