Lemuel Chocolate has reopened its doors to a spanking new space over at Star Vista! The bean-to-bar chocolate makers place an emphasis on quality, flavour and sustainability - roasting and churning out delectable chocolate treats right in front of your eyes to boot! @lemuelchocolate even sources and imports their quality cacao beans from farmers all over the world.

I was honoured to be invited to their soft launch/food tasting and got to try their numerous chocolate goodies which included:

◾Eden [$10]
Lemuel's entremets range is inspired by the botanics and Eden caught my eye immediately. Resembling a pebble, it was filled with pear curd, pecan, milk chocolate praline and 70% Guatemala chocolate mousse. The smooth creamy texture paired perfectly with a slight crunch from the praline. The sweetness from the pear curd also balanced out the chocolate mousse in an explosion of flavour. This ended up being one of my favourites of the day!

◾Jardin [$9]
Resembling a mushroom garden is none other than their Jardin. A tart comprising of pistachio ganache, pistachio praline, crumble, pistachio creme and dark chocolate - dang the pistachio flavours were intense. The Jardin bordered more towards savoury which I found pretty intriguing. A lil' sweetness from the creme on top was much needed to cut the intensity of the whole tart - I've never had something quite like it!

◾Lady Grey/Sel/Hideki [$4 each]
Lemuel also offers a range of smaller chocolate tarts, each with its own unique flavours paired with delicious ganache. My favourite of the 3 was the Hideki, a tart filled with Hojicha ganache and Yuzu chantilly. Damn, it was just so good. Yuzu + chocolate = hell yeah.

All in all, I'm quite impressed by the effort and work of Lemuel Chocolate and their passion for their craft. They do chocolate justice and I'll definitely head back for more! (Everyone else ordered the Cacao 85 and I kinda regretted not doing the same!) Not to mention that I literally ended up in a chocolate coma right after.

I wish you guys all the best in your grand opening! And thanks to Natasha for the invite and to Ronald for the awesome chocolate tour!
