Freshly Baked by Le Bijoux, Killiney Road


Beware for you gaze upon death by chocolate salty balls. Lol! I'm kidding, but this is actually quite a delicious salted caramel chocolate mousse tart from Freshly Baked (57 Killiney Road, #01-01, tel: 6735 3298) . I liked the fact that the light chocolate mouse wasn't excessively sweet and that the lightly salted caramel compliments the tart with a swab of savory sweetness that is accented by the cocoa powder. It was still creamy rich on the whole....and made crunchy by those chocolate balls. Quite a few sensations triggered by a tart eh?

We decided on a piece of brownie which didn't look promising at all from first glance. Once in a while, it's a good idea to go against the grains of your instincts in the spirit of adventure because you just might find something good that didn't look apparently so. This was definitely not one of those times. I didn't like the brownie. It lacked the fudge factor. There wasn't enough chocolate in it too. It didn't even have enough chocolate to match many other regular chocolate cakes. What in the world is it doing there as a brownie, I certainly don't know.
