Canele Pattisserie Chocolaterie

Even after the heavy dinner at Waraku, I was still set on dessert at Canele. We walked down Orchard Road to burn off the calories whilst admiring the Christmas decorations before making a u-turn back to Paragon.

I use 2 words to describe the pastries at Canele - RICH and SWEET. I could almost imagine my blood thicken to a sluggish crawl by the time I was through with the desserts.

FT ordered the 66%. It's an indulgent dark chocolate ice-cream with chocolate shards. It was a huge potion that came and we quickly got down to the business of eating. The ice-cream was smooth, dense and very chocolatey.

 A Chocolate Fondant with Chantilly Cream was ordered for JT. Now this was one extremely dense and gooey cake. The closest definition I can think off is a brownie and cupcake rolled into one. And I loved the thick chocolate that poured out from the middle.

I wanted sometime lighter to balance the 2 chocolate dishes and so ordered the Critus Tart, which is basically a Lemon Meringue Tart. It was zesty and little strips of lemon zest for that extra oomph. The lemon custard based, however, was a little too heavy and it tended to overwhelm the delicate meringue at times.
