Maitre Chocolatier

It's MIGHT CHOCO LATTE (as told by one of the waitresses)...

So my curiosity has finally been put to rest when I visited Maitre Chocolatier last Saturday with beau. I used to gawk at this chocolate boutique while dining in Red Kimono at Abreeza. I just have a feeling that Maitre Chocolatier is where I belong.


We ordered some sandwiches: Grilled Chicken Sandwich (P135.00) for me and Hungarian and White Choco Sandwich (P136.00) for beau. But I was most excited with the Hot Dark Chocolate (P155.00) drink that I ordered. And when it finally arrived, I was shocked that they have such a generous serving of dark chocolate.


Fact: I can only eat dark chocolate or else, I'd face the consequences of  the painful tonsilitis.

One sip of this rich dark chocolate drink made me realize that I can't finish this cup. It was so thick and it was dark chocolate so it's bitter. I instantly imagined, this could be 90% dark choco. I asked the waitress and she told me that it's actually just 70% dark chocolate and they used Lindt.

Lindt dark chocolates are one of beau's "staple" pasalubongs for me. How could I not like this hot dark chocolate drink with the same ingredient as the one I always eat? Well, I figured that I couldn't even finish one bar of dark chocolate in one sitting (I could only eat two squares, at most, in one day). I LOVE dark chocolates! But I could only eat it little by little. When I was confronted with this big cup of dark chocolate, I was overwhelmed and was a bit disappointed that I couldn't even imagine that I could finish my drink.

I actually put two sachets of brown sugar to my dark choco and it tasted better. But it was still so thick that I couldn't finish it. IT'S ALMOST A CRIME IF I COULD NOT CONSUME THIS CUP OF DARK CHOCO!!!

I requested the waitress to transfer what remained of my dark choco into a plastic cup so that I can take it with me. =)

The next day, I mixed two teaspoons of powdered milk and added some hot water and WHOALA! My dark chocolate tasted just the way I like it! Hahaha!

Maitre Chocolatier's bitter dark chocolate isn't a deal breaker for me. I should have known that it would taste bitter. I should have known! I'll be back, Maitre Chocolatier, you just wait and I'm gonna order the classic chocolate on my next visit.

    It was my first time at Maitre Chocolatier and I was satisfied, though I couldn't recommend the dark choco. If you insist on that it, better order it for take out. Hehehe!

    Cant remember the last time since I had choco drink in a cafe. The choco drink you got there looks very yummy and chocolatey. I am a fanatic pa na man ng dark choco. Wish we have that cafe here in Davao! Tnx for the share! :)

    I used to go to this place weekly then I got addicted to coffee again. reminds me of the cold dark chocolate with chili I ordered. hehe. it was good but nothing too impressive. haven't tried their dark hot choco... wow 70% cocoa. gotta try that. ^__^
    it's better that you can only take a small portion of dark chocolates. coz it wouldn't be fattening. I however, can eat the whole big cadburry bar size in just 5-10minutes. parang ginawang chichirya. hehe. 
    thanks for dropping by my blog btw. see you around :)

    It's actually a family tradition to drink dark choco during Christmas and New Year. I'm sure having a cup of this would make me feel all giddy :)

    I bet they are great for breakfast. I usually get them (though not that thick) from the usual fast foods chains.. jollibee or mcdonalds.
