Some miniature business inside GOBI

Gobi is one dessert bar in which you can grab petite and exquisite-looking desserts without the need to go for buffets.

These little petite babies are classified into 2 categories, namely Fantasy and Chocolate Factory and if you were to dine in, individual pieces costs $1.90. Tried a fair bit this afternoon and viola, here they are...

Presenting the miniature versions,


Dark Angel
Described as a must-have for all chocoholics, pure chocolate heaven embedded in moist rich chocolate cake, or in short Dark Angel has a solid core of chocolate wrapped in moist chocolately cake.
Cupid is a salty-sweet light cheese mousse and kirsch piped into hand-crafted white chocolate hats.

Also found at the back of their name cards, which I presume is their signature creation is the
Between the sheets...
Malibu milk chocolate ganache sandwiched between delicate sheets of dark chocolate and feullitine praline, sits on a meringue base.


Cactus
This creation sits on a cinnamon crunch, chestnut nestled in a cone of dark and light sponge curshed with dark chocolate ganache, custard and rum-soaked rasins, covered with milk chocolate and roasted diced almonds.

Fen's comments


The miniature desserts are really lovely which makes me hesitate to even disturb them with a fork. Nevertheless, food that are bought has to be eaten so...

The dark angel tasted like thick chocolate mousse. I can't really tell which is cake and which is the mousse. Maybe it is just too small... If this is consider as a cake, it will be too paste-like, if it is a mousse, then it is not light enough. However, I do like the chocolate and don't mind trying the larger version...

I didn't like the cupid, think cheesecake will be a better bet. I just pop the entire thing into my mouth.

Between the sheets, the top chocolate sheet is not as smooth as the Sweet pleasure from BakerZin. This ganache layered piece of indulgence was my favourite among the entire lot. With a good blend of almond and hazelnut, the smooth and crunchy texture just makes me crave for more. The hazelnut taste is just right, not too much and thus not overshadowing the choco. It is a pity this is alittle too small.

Cactus was something that has too much stuff... practically confusing my taste buds, you got cinnamon, chestnut, rum and chocolate. Moreover, the chocolate mousse is on the rough side and thus wasn't my favourite at all.
