Chocolate earl grey tart. Choc cake. A chocolate speciality cafe! Right about the famous curry fish head at Amoy.
Coincidentally, my first visit to Truffs happened on my birthday. The day turned out so well for me and this chocolate cake was one of the many contributing factors. Visually, as a slice and a whole, it is Stunning. The high gloss on its ganache was so appealing it made the cake feel like it would be 'The Most Perfect Chocolate Cake', if you ever titled food like that. The cake is also way taller than your average cake from coffee joints, making it appear almost Regal. And yes, every word describing this cake deserves to start with uppercase. It is so tall that the waitress who served us had to be extra careful setting it on our table, haha. Now the cake, in all honesty, looks better than it tastes. No wait, before you think it isn't good, it really isn't what I meant. I mean, being completely in love with the way it looks means something has to be compromised, right? One must better the other if not nothing will really stand out. That's my theory on this one. So, back to the chocolate cake - it is good, really good. The cake appears to be super filling because the slice is huge but its sponge is actually very airy. Therefore, it is very light in taste and texture and its lightness complements the thick, bitter-sweet layer of truffle goodness which lies in between the outer ganache and sponge, and horizontally between two equal heights of sponge. I'm describing it in detail here because I believe that the cake was also designed the same way - with much thought and precision. Sigh, eating this cake was simply sheer pleasure, and I wish to be back again if I'm ever in the area..
Focusing all their energy into 3 cakes a day, Truffs smells choco-heavenly, has this same strict jap quality vibes in their art. Very cool. Tasteful.
The chocolate was soooo smooth. The tart crust and crumbs provided a nice crunch to it. It was soo good
➊ [The Chocolate Earl - with a hazelnut Feuilletine base, the cake is a neat assembly of layers sitting above the crunchy base. The layers consist of velvety truffs chocolate ganache, moist sponge cake and earl grey tea infused chocolate mousse. This is a cake boasting of texture and taste S$11] - good & expensive piece of chocolate cake. 10 inch cake is selling at S$170. Drop on the floor also must lick clean *stingy mode on*😆 ➋ [Truffs Ice Chocolate S$7.50] - by far the most yummy ice chocolate I had ever drank. But I usually don't order ice chocolate so trust me at your own risk.
Celebrating with cha-cha-chocolate! We both overdosed on #chocolate this afternoon… Truff's chocolate cake with luscious black ganache all over and my ultimate bias: #earlgrey chocolate cake.
