The Dark Gallery (Takashimaya)

Heaven for any chocolate lover 🥰
We ordered an affogato with 75% choc and the 88% chocolate ice cream bar with the 80% chocolate.
Both the ice cream was rich and not too sweet which went really well with the sauces!

The affogato option came with coffee and some salted caramelised almonds. The coffee was more to the acidic side (I prefer bitter coffee) which brought another flavour profile to the sweet, bitter, salty dessert. Pretty interesting but acidic coffee not really my thing.

The 88% chocolate version tho. It’s very rich but it was not cloying. I love bitter less sweet chocolate and this is it. wow I would go back for that.

On a side note, the aunty that served us was so friendly! Great service !

Brownie was nubbad, but not extraordinary. Only item I like best is the ice cream. Reminder to self: to order the ice cream with waffles next time. Too bad this option isn’t available for the burpple deal.

If you are a dark chocolate lover, you will love most of this platter. Personally, I really like the ice cream, tart and cake on this platter. The dark chocolate taste was really pronounced and the desserts were dense. Don’t really like the tiramisu though.

Chanced upon this when searching for desserts in town. Used Burpple beyond 1 for 1 deal for the ice cream bar and we thought it was a real good deal:) just a note that the affogato was really really rich and the coffee taste may be too bitter for some of us

Delivered these to a friend on SHN. If only they provide their ice cream in the background for 1-1 too. As usual the place is packed with people (and sweetness!)

The decor and location is superb. Easy to use burrple offer 1 for 1 chocolates.

Chocolates were also decent to taste. Nothing great but absolutely no complaints.

The staff attitude is very off-putting though. I can't really say what it is, but they are not interested in selling. Part of buying and eating at fancy coffee shops is also the experience.

So it's a hit and miss for me. If it wasn't for the 1 for 1 offer, I would not go back.
