Dreaming of You

I met up with my yumyum monster gang one Saturday afternoon; albeit incomplete, we still pushed through with our initial plan of visiting this choco haven along Jupiter street Makati.  We arrived at Maitre Chocolatier for our late lunch.

   
Upon entering, we were greeted by this couture dress made of Ferrero wrappers.

You will also see this photo wall with Maitre Chocolatier as the background in black and white. 

One might get intimidated at first as the restaurant looks quite expensive.  You know the connotation, when it looks expensive, chances are they also have a steep price for their food.  Surprisingly, it is not the case with Maitre Chocolatier.  I find their food price in fair range.  The place looks chic with brown and cream comfortable couches, yellow lights, and modern pieces of art hanging on their walls.

They also sell imported chocolates like Toblerone, Lindt, Ferrero Rocher, Ritter and Mercer to name a few.

On the table

• White Chocolate Carbonara

Rich and creamy carbonara with Lindt white chocolate sprinkled with bacon bits and generously topped with Parmesan cheese.

Oh..la..la!  The pasta is perfectly cooked.  The sauce is so creamy and delicious.  The bacon bits are such a treat.  In simple words... I LOVE IT!

• Linguine in Spicy Dark Chocolate with Grilled Chicken

Linguine in spice dark chocolate sauce made from Lindt Excellence Chili Dark Chocolate with tender grilled chicken.

I love spicy food so I happily suggested ordering this one but I find the combination not quite pleasing.

• Linguine in Pesto Sauce with Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Linguine with fresh herbs and spices with crisp and tender Parmesan-crusted chicken strips.  The white chocolate sauce is made from Frey Classique Blanc.

• Maki Salad

Salad with seaweed, crab sticks, and ripe mangoes dressed with Frey Blanc Chocolate.

• Churros Sticks with Lindt Dark Chocolate Dip

Light and crunchy churros sticks fried into perfection.

• Sweet Revenge

Dark chocolate molten lava cake made from Lindt Excellence Dark 70%, filled with oozing sweet and vengefully spicy chocolate lava served with vanilla ice cream.

Definitely the highlight of the meal!  Surely a must order when you visit this place.  The oh-so-delicious chocolate ruptures from the lava cake.  There is also a hint of spiciness midway through.  Vanilla ice cream is served on the side to cool down the taste buds.

 Raymund enjoying his churros...cute!

We are already planning a second visit to this place.  I couldn't get enough of that sweet revenge that I find myself staring at a picture in my laptop in the middle of the night.  I'll definitely come back here with Lars as I'm very sure she'll be so addicted to this as I am.
