Chocolat Factory has been in Singapore for more than three years now. Shanghai is the only other Asian city that carries this brand. Do not confuse them with the local chocolatier previously known as Chocolate Factory. I understand there was some dispute over the similarity in names. Though the local Chocolate (with an “e’) Factory is now known as Laurent Bernard Chocolatier, its website still used its previous name.
Chocolat Factory, who call themselves the Pleasure Experts, carry quite a vast range of chocolate products in unique packaging, which won design awards not only in Barcelona but in London and Germany as well. There is chocolate jam with sweet pear, bitter orange, chestnut or mint ($14 per bottle) and even chocolate pasta.
Its truffles and pralines are made with Belgian chocolate. They also have a vast range with liquor. The size of the non-liquor truffles is bite-size – you get about 10 pieces per 100 gsm. It is creamy and smooth and very good indeed. You cannot just eat one
At $15 and $17.50 per 100 gsm for pralines and truffles respectively, it is cheaper than some of our local chocolatiers, and taste just as good, if not better. What’s more, there is currently a 15% discount for purchases above $80 when you use either your UOB or Citibank Credit Cards. So head on down to Paragon (B1-K11) or OUB Centre (01-06) now. Chocolat Factory doesn’t have a local website but there is an English version of its website in Spain.
