I have been waiting for the opportune time to check out Truffs at Telok Ayer Street as most lunch times is a harried affair. Given that it was a Friday, we managed to squeeze in cake and a cup of coffee after lunch.
It was an exciting moment climbing up the stairs to what is chocolate haven. How would the chocolate taste like, would it be as heavenly as I would imagine?
I had my little wow moment when I got to the 2 floor where Truffs is located. It has an open concept kitchen on one side and seating area on another. A design concept that is all about white washed walls and birch furnishing, just the kind of design I would like to have in my house. I like the fact that they pay attention to the minor details like a pretty side table layout for helping yourself with water and sugar, and a tiny little vase adorned with unique fresh flowers to enjoy. Very Japanese style, simple with clean lines. They even sell the furniture you sit on, which interesting and a great way to try out the pieces.
Since it was our first time at Truffs, we decided on the chocolate cake and I had a macchiato. I kind of regretted my drink as it was super bitter as I did not have my usual cappuccino. The chocolate cake was a pretty sight. Glazed and looking so shiny that I could even see myself in the reflection. It is a lovely moist cake on first bite, and still manages to maintain a homeliness element to it. The chocolate sponge was a little denser than that of Awfully Chocolate and I not have the yucky feeling of chocolate richness after a few more bites.
Truffs is a pretty place to hang out if the rest of the customers keep to a low speaking volume. Though not a fan of chocolate, I might just give this place another shot since it is so near to my office.
