We had a short stroll along the river before heading for the well anticipated Chocolatey treat which starts at 8pm and is available till 11pm. According to the website, Chocolate Buffet is available on Fri and Sat, however on Christmas Eve, a Thu, it did not disappoint chocolate loving peeps like ourselves looking to pamper our taste buds during the festive season. It costs around $60 a person and comes together with dessert wine (we thought the wine was nice).
A place I wanted to bring Shirley to for some time already. The Fullerton Hotel's Chocolate Buffet was well-known and recommended by many. Well, the treats were equisitive but the experience fell short of our expectations, factoring the rave reviews it has earned over the years.
As we step into 'Courtyard' for the buffet, our eyes combed the place, expecting long stretches of tables displaying chocolate desserts, however our eyes were the not getting the treat as expected. Visually it could have been more impressive. What the place had were a) small round table displaying assorted chocolate cakes and desserts
b) section where you can choose from a variety of solid chocolate which the staff will melt together with milk to give u a chocolate drink ( u can choose to infuse Rose Petal, Lavender, Szechuan Pepper, Chili, Star Anise, Black Cardamon, Wasabi, Lemongrass, Ginger and Coffee into your drink but we say it doesn't taste that different) and
c) a fondue area where u basically mix and match fruits and mush mellow for a sinful chocolate dip!
With that said, it was still no doubt a worthy trip to uncover all that hype behind the Chocolate Buffet. A place we will still visit, but maybe well.. not that frequently? Below are some pictures covering those sinful looking faces indulging in a chocolatey evening..
That's all for 2009! Have a great 2010 to all!
