On Wednesday night, a friend and I went on a dessert experience at the Choc Pot in Chatswood.
It has been a while since I've been to the area and upon arriving I have noticed so much has changed since I went there last.. which must be about 15 years ago! The Choc pot is located in the District on the Podium level of Chatswood interchange.
My first visit to the district, I loved the place - the area is packed with of great eatery and restaurants. We finally located the choc pot and I quickly looked around the cafe. The cafe was cheerfully decorated with Halloween theme along with the staffs wearing fun costume headpieces. Love their slogan " live cheeky"
It took me a while to get to know the menu and order... there are so many options of sweets and chocolate dishes to choose from as well as some great tea and drink options.
Also it looked like they have some fun Halloween inspired desserts available too!
First arrive was Passionfruit guava drink. A very yummy passionfruit and guava juice with a frothy ice creams on top... a sweet and inventive drink! This was deliciously fruity and creamy..
Since we are in the Choc Pot, how can one not to order this dish when you are here for the first time?
And as you could imagine this wasn't a disappointment :-) Scooping out velvety smooth melted rich chocolates out of oven fresh chocolate jar...the each bite so decadent and you are in a chocolate heaven. If you are a chocolate lover, you've got to try this one!
I think the pot is massive for one person though, this was definitely enough for two people to share.
The pot came with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and strawberries - which was good companion for the choc pot.
The lord of the crepe and the recommended Japanese Lime tea was indeed match made in heaven. I absolutely loved this tea, as it explains 'Japanese sencha infused with lemon and lime peel and sprinkled with pretty daisy blossoms' This green tea had a beautiful limey aroma and it was perfect with the crepe. I think tea is a great idea with these dessert dishes, it offsets the sweetness and makes dessert taste more elegant.
I am not a huge chocolate person in general, I mean I do love chocolates time to time but I would say I am more of creamy dessert person than chocolate person. I was very happy when I saw the crepe filled with fresh creams inside. Texture was fantastic, it has a thin slices of wafer inside of the crepes and it created very pleasant crunch texture. It took me a while to figure it out how this crepe was so crunch! I had to open up and investigate especially when the crepes didn't lose it's crunchiness until it's at the last piece. I think it's very smartly executed dessert. The crepe also arrived with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
All in all we were very satisfied after the choc pot's desserts. Great service by staff and pleasant surroundings. If you are in the area and in a mood for desserts, definitely give this place a go!
