The Dark Gallery (Takashimaya)

They had multiple dark chocolate with different richess.
Ordered their 88% dark chocolate (+1) & Japanese Matcha to level up the richess.

Dark chocolate was really rich in flavour & matcha balance it out.

I like that the server pay attention to detail such as when I am looking for tissue and looking for cups.

Overall, I like the environment and the service.

Got the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut cake slice and the Rose Lychee cake for the 1 for 1 cake slice deal. The chocolate Hazelnut cake was very sweet and moist. Was expecting less sweet with more intense cocoa flavour and the Rose Lychee cake was on the drier side with a subtle rose flavour and faint hint of lychee. Service was great and nice ambience.

Got the mocha and tart pairing for one set and the mocha and brownie pairing for the other set. The tart was made using 72% dark chocolate, with creamy ganache and had a slight salted taste. The tart shell was buttery and chocolately, thin and delicate and not too hard. It was topped with some crumbles which were a cute addition. The brownie was made using 75% dark chocolate, hence it wasn’t too sweet, very moist and soft at the centre and texture was great. It was drizzled with chocolate sauce at the top, making it extra rich in chocolate! The mocha came with beautiful latte arts and in a huge cup! Portion was large, while texture was creamy and smooth and silky, while the flavor was rich and not too sweet due to the espresso shot and dark chocolate they use.

Got the 88% dark chocolate ice cream bar, which comes with a choice of scoop of ice cream and a shot of 88% dark chocolate sauce. I chose matcha ice cream and 80% chocolate ice cream, which were served in a ceramic cup on top of a bed of chocolate cookie crumbs, topped with some shaved chocolate rasps. Thankfully, the shot and the ice creams were not too sweet, only the cookie crumbs were sweeter, but were also super delicious. The crumbs were crunchy and buttery, with some chocolate flavor. Ice cream were smooth and creamy and went well with the dark chocolate shot. Worth with burpple beyond and definitely would return.
