Looking for a chocolatier in the city so after wandering around the CBD, we ended up at the Lindt chocolate cafe.This one was located near Martin's place, so away from the flood of tourists and screaming children. This place was still surprisingly busy for a Saturday afternoon.
The display of chocolates were scrumptious, though slightly pricey. I guess at the end of the day you can't beat handmade chocolates.
I spent ages hovering (and drooling) near the window. CJ was buying two boxes of chocolates for her colleagues, and was debating between buying prepackaged boxes or selecting from the display counter.
I persuaded her to go for the personalised counter experience, as the price per 100g does include watching a man-in-a-white-glove carefully package your selected little treasures in a box. You can even choose your own ribbon colour.
CJ picked 14 chocolates (7 per box) and it ended up being around $15 per box, so me being a clever mathematician, that works out to be $2 per chocolate...
Time to wander over to the macaroons. Macaroons are a new offer by Lindt, and its about time... these colourful beauties are so pleasing to the eye. Looking at them I felt transported to Barbie land.
I spent a while debating which ones to get and settled on the passion macaroon - its suppose to be of (artificial?) passionfruit flavour! CJ got tempted by the extreme chocolate, which I suspected ended up the better choice.
Seems like as good a time as any for dessert. We sat down at the table and I got myself a iced mocha. Not normally a mocha drinker I would have ordered coffee, but being in Lindt I though we needed at least a bit of chocolate taste...
The macaroons were lush, biscuity in texture yet soft and not overtly sweet, they were definitely a genius new introduction by Lindt.
