Canele Patisserie Chocolateria (Paragon)

Ever since I discover the existence of macarons, I’m hooked. There are some fantastic ones, while some are just very bad; macarons are lovable, how can something so small and petite, taste so, so good!

The most delicious way, to eat a macaron will be: admire her perfect figure, pick it up and smell her fragrance. Never shovel in and swallow the whole thing in one bite. It’s like foreplay, you need to arouse the palates first; you nibble a bit of it, and I finish it up the rest. Macarons, taste the best, when I share it with you.

The very pretty lady in raspberry winks at me as I walk over. Hello, can I buy you a dessert? Do you want chocolate fudge? Or how about some cheesecake? No? You want both? Okay sure, in that case I’ll get you the Raspberry Cheesecake ($7.50).

Rosemary Chantilly with a layer of raspberry jelly, adorns the top part of the cake. There’s cheesecake sandwiched in between, with the chocolate fudge layer completing the dessert. My only grudge? It tasted weird when everything is combined together, raspberry, cheesecake and chocolate fudge just do not works for me. But eaten separately, it’s good.

Having seen the Fondant Choccolat ($8), I happily/naturally assumed that it will be the type that has lava chocolate oozing out. Except, it did not. No chocolate lava. No warm chocolate oozing out from the middle. And oh, the fondant wasn’t heat up too.

Luckily there’s Chantilly. She is pleasant, sweet and makes everyone around happy.

Which one is the mousse and which one is the cream?

Dark chocolate, your love. I know you’ll have like this one. The flourless chocolate sponge increased the density of the chocolate, with the dark chocolate cream in between layers. And I like how they pretty things up with a spot of chocolate on top; simple and chic. Gateaux Chocolat ($6.50)

After so many times to Canele, I’ve yet to try out all their creations. Maybe some day, definitely one day.

Bought a couple of cakes to go for valentines day.. Firstly the service was good..i called to order the cakes and the lady i spoke to took down my number sayin to call back as she was busy and she did..she was very helpful explaining the cakes to me and what was in the cakes.. i ordered the Jupiter, Tiramisu, Mont Blanc, Creme Caramel and Chocolate Classique. Why did i order so much.. cos it comes in a realli realli nice box. It originally came in another box but i wanted the bigger one so i asked. and even though the bigger box was for purchases of 7 to 8 cakes and i bought 5, the lady obligied and proceeded to transfer the cakes into the bigger and prettier box.. Me n bf tried abit of everything. Jupiter-dark chocolate was heaven...melted in my mouth and i savoured it. it has good texture and i enjoyed it very much. Creme Caramel was good too, the wasnt too much like pudding and wasnt too sweet yet can really taste the caramel and the delicious cream. i ended up drinking the caramel like a shot.. Chocolate classique was delicious too but i found it a bit too dense..liked the white meringue it came with..the next day i heated it in the microwave and tried it again and loved it...it was softer and really good warm.. I didnt try the tiramisu but my bf liked it. looked really good though.. Next to my favourite. the mont blanc.i just loved how it was like a cake but it wasnt. it was really really really good. I could taste the delicious hazlenut and the tart was crumbly and still not soggy or soft..its now my favourite tart. didnt get to try the macaroons but i have heard they are nice. will be sure to try some next time
