Beard Papa

B2, Takashimaya

This outlet is more renowned for its cream puffs, which are by all accounts large, luscious and extremely delightful, but I'd also heard good things about their chocolate fondant cake, and this time took the opportunity to satiate my curiousity.

Unlike others of its ilk, this cake has a crusty biscuit base, somewhat more akin to a chocolate tart. Not sure that I like the crunch, it was a bit distracting, but the chocolate was bitter, the cake firm on the outside, and on the inside just a wee bit overdone but still molten enough to be slurpy. Overall, quite a success, and at S$2.60 (US$1.60), I ain't complaining!
