So the place that served beautiful Le Notrè desserts marked the finale for us DDDs in October. Sofitel Wentworth served a phenomenal high tea earlier this year. We were drawn again by their chocolate assiette sugar hit offer so here we came.
On offer: Chocolate macaronade, white chocolate cheesecake, and dark chocolate crème pot, with either Brown Brothers dessert wine or Hennessy cognac. It was suggested that we enjoy the milder flavours first - which was the cheesecake, followed by the macaronade, and finish with the chocolate crème pot. The first bite of the cheesecake generated a consensus "mmm", the DDDs agreeing it was creamy cheesy cheesecake that wasn't too heavy, and went well with the dessert wine. I could certainly eat a bigger slab. Chocolate macaronade - half a macaroon, but I would recommend having macaroons from either Lindt cafe or Laurent Boulangerie. Chocolate crème pot - a shot of rich, creamy, thick ganachè-like crème not too sweet but a good rich chocolate perfect for a chocoholic.
It was a fanfare finale to the DDT's participation of Good Food month. However for me it was somewhat difficult to decide whether to label this best of the three Sugar Hits, as I enjoyed the InterContinental immensely. It could be because it was the first and therefore most memorable, but it could also be the variety of the delicate dessert creations. I for one found the chocolate crème pot too much to handle after two previous chocolate desserts but that's just me...
Next DDT - November 30th - X'mas party with nothing but good'o X'mas desserts till you drop!!
