Chocolate is one of the greatest loves of my life. Something magical happens in The Knolls, one of Capella hotel’s dining establishments every Friday afternoon. The winding hallway in The Knolls is transformed into a chocolate wonderland, as cakes of every colour adorn the stands, and bowls of melt-in-your mouth chocolate deck the tables.
The Capella Chocolate and Tea Experience brings an array of chocolate desserts ranging from cakes to souffles, and a variety of teas from the esteemed Gryphon Tea Company to pair. It’s a high-tea session with a major dose of chocolatey goodness. Here are some of my favourite picks from the line up.
The assortment and arrangement of desserts here are bound to impress dessert lovers. The cakes look beautiful and you can never quite decide if you should stare at them a little longer, or sink your teeth into them.
If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy desserts, look no further because the cakes here will turn your friends green with envy. Some of the garnishes are modeled around an Easter theme, and Capella changes the designs to suit whatever holiday is up next, leading to some really fun-looking cakes.
This notoriously hard to make dessert is also featured in the buffet, but will require some time to prepare. It would be wise to order it the moment you’re seated for the best experience. It’s not my favourite dessert though – I found it too rich despite its fluffy and light texture.
The creme anglaise sauce was intense and it was overly rich for my tastes. You might want to go easy with the sauce should you order this.
At $48++ it’s good value considering the lineup and free flow premium tea. Just remember to pace yourself and you’ll have a delightful time here. Act fast, as 24th April will mark the last day of the Capella Chocolate & Tea Experience.
