The astonishing feature about Bangsar Shopping Centre is its unique layout where there is always something new to explore at every every nook and cranny of this shopping premises. I came across Marquise Pâtisserie Chocolaterie a few months ago by accident while walking not too far away from where The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is at. Situated at the back corner on the ground floor, what caught my attention was the gorgeous handcrafted cakes that were nicely displayed in the window panels just next i
Marquise Pâtisserie Chocolaterie was founded in 2010 and inspired by the unique European culture of chocolate making. The pastry and chocolate outlet chose its name by associating its first word with noblemen and women of high ranking people, thus giving it a prestige connotation. This means using the finest Belgian chocolates to produce their range of high quality chocolates and cakes giving their end products the “Wow!” factor at every bite. Take their Dark Chocolate with Hazelnut & Almond Nibs (RM 27.00 / 100 gram) for instance. It has a good balance of chocolaty taste without being overly bitter that is usually associated with typical dark chocolate flavour.
Apparently, Marquise Pâtisserie Chocolaterie adopts the entire chocolate making method including its conching process from Belgium. This means using the freshest and highest quality ingredients to produce rich, indulgent chocolates. Most of the chocolates used are from the bittersweet variants as Asians typically favour this type of flavour. The prices of their cakes and chocolates are also very competitively priced. I liked their Green Tea Roche (RM 27.00 / 100 gram) which has a nice balance between the green tea and chocolate flavour without overpowering one another. I find myself nibbling the chocolate rather than letting it sit on my tongue to melt by itself due to the irresitable soft crunchy texture which I presume is from the nuts inside the chocolate.
The Black Nougat with Hazelnut (RM 27.00 / 100 gram) has a nice aesthetic look with tiny bits of hazelnuts studded onto the chocolate surface. The taste has a nice milky chocolate flavour and caramel like texture.
I also enjoyed eating the Hazelnut Praline Swirl (RM 27.00 / 100 gram). The chocolate has a smooth vanilla taste with an occasional hint of chocolate flavour from the melted swirls.
Using real Belgium chocolates rather than processed ones, the Forêt Noir (RM 10.80) was simply delicious. Inside, I could taste the fresh dark berries and layered chocolate sponge that gave the cake an interesting mix of chocolaty and fruity flavour.
I was also attracted to the sight of the Hazelnut Royaltine (RM 10.80) as the huge and chunky hazelnuts studded on the all sides of the cake were so visually pleasing. The cake has a rich and deep chocolaty taste.
Marquise Pâtisserie Chocolaterie also serves a selection of milkshakes (RM 16.80), smoothies (RM 13.80) and frappe (13.80) to compliment their cakes and chocolates.
As I have mentioned earlier, Marquise Pâtisserie Chocolaterie uses the best quality Belgian cocoa for their cakes and chocolates. Thus, their products are naturally high quality and handmade to perfection using authentic Belgian artistry methods. If you have a sweet craving for chocolates or cakes, do drop by their outlet to delight yourself with their freshly made quality products.Post
