Take a Look + Review| Belgische Chocolatier


Belgische Chocolatier, 163 Mont Kiara

10:00 AM - 10:00 PM | (+603) 64125175 | Facebook | Instagram | Website
1F-16, 163 Retail Park, Mont Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur


A little story about Belgische Chocolatier. This store is a brainchild of Ramon and Devan (aka the Chocolate Brothers; in the second picture below) that they have envisioned during their long drives with their BMW Gang.

On the 25th of August, the Belgische Chocolatier had organized a party between 3pm to 6pm for the Butterfly Project bloggers/IG-ers to try out their chocolates.


The Chocolate Brothers had also briefly explained to us that they intend to introduce their customers to the best of unadulterated Belgian dark, milk and white chocolate with really innovative ways to serve them. (Pssst: They are also thinking about getting ruby chocolates to their store!) Here are a few specials:

  1. Chocolate shots. Guaranteed to satisfy the taste of the most demanding chocoholic, served neat and ready to be downed at one go.
  2. Churros. Sprinkled with sugar and topped with chocolate for the sugar rush.
  3. Chocolate fondue with fruits. For the health-conscious customers.
  4. Pancakes, crepes or crisp waffles to be dipped or drowned on chocolate. All in accordance with customers taste. 
  5. Aromatic coffee made from Ethiopian beans. Imported from Melbourne and created by Justin Metcalf, World Barista Judge.



Also, the Chocolate Brothers had stated that they had used premium butter for their products as well. Apart from their specials, take a look at a few of their signatures below:

Sizzling Brownie

A freshly made brownie served on a hot pan with ice cream sending a rush through your tastebuds and paired with a milk chocolate sauce to smooth over your tongue.


The thing about all of their brownie is that it is not the soft type of brownie. They are the crunchy, hard-block type of brownie which leaves a different texture in the mouth. I have a preference with soft brownies but I’m not completely weirded-off by the hard brownie. A lot of people from the party told me that they actually liked it.

Chocolate Sushi Crepe

Strawberries, cream, rice crispies and chocolate sauce all wrapped in mini crepes. The combination of a hot pleasurable sensation.


This is actually a nice way to eat fruits + chocolate together. Best for people who don’t want to mess up their faces with chocolate leaking out of their mouths (I mess up my face a lot. Pretty much still child-like whenever I eat HAHA). The fruits are freshly cut and you have some chocolates within the crepe wrap along with some crisps to increase the crunchy texture.

Volcanic Lava Cake

A moist chocolate cake which holds a delicious creamy filling that will drive chocolate lovers insane due to its rich texture and overpowering flavour.


Lava cake is my thing. I loooooooooove lava cake. When they pulled out 3 lava cakes with different ice creams, I died with happiness. My personal favourite is the vanilla ice cream (even though I’m a huge strawberry fan). The strawberry flavour has a stronger sweetness to it and kids would love it more.

 

My Plate

I grabbed a few things into my plate and hoooooooboy, the amount of chocolate dripping was crazy. My favourite? The fresh fruit with chocolate fondue! The fruits were so fresh, juicy and sweet! I am so tempted to ask them where did they get their stock from!


My verdict

My whole life was surrounded by different sorts of chocolates that the world can offer. While the premium kinds were off the table, I managed to try a lot of good dark chocolates as well as tasting milk and white chocolates on the way. Many would’ve known that my go-to lava cake is from Miru Desserts. Let’s use that as a benchmark to review this store since the price range is about the same.

Let’s talk about just the chocolate itself first: White, Milk and Dark chocolates. The chocolates are very thick and I find that they have a similar sweetness to it, even the dark chocolate. Belgian Chocolates are characteristically more buttery, medium sweet with medium bitterness (Santa Barbara Chocolate), so it is not surprising that even the dark chocolate has more sweetness but less bitterness than most of the other dark chocolates out there. These would be suitable for children who are used to chocolates from regular brands such as Cadbury, Hershey and Ferrero Rocher.

I personally love the fruits and chocolate fondue because it makes a really great balance of that refreshing-juicy sweetness along with the rich cocoa flavour. It’s an amazing combo and I would have that all of the time. Their crepes were well made and match really well with the chocolate as well. The lava cake did not live up to my preferences because the lava didn’t flow out as much as I want it to be. I will still go back to Miru Desserts for the lava cake but Belgische Chocolatier really has unique products that you can’t get from other places. 

I will definitely go back there again for the fruits, crepe and chocolate. Would recommend you to go try as well! Did you know, if you’re a student, you can get like 30% discount?? You just need to show your student card and “BAMM!” discounted desserts!

Menu

Of course, they have lots of other options and beverages as well. If you are curious, you can check out the image carousel below for their menu:







Belgische Chocolatier wants every customer to have a memorable experience with them with exported Belgium chocolate for the chocolate-holics and even for those who are not as invested into chocolate with fruit-based products and flavourful drinks. Their staffs will tend to your every need, making you feel warm and welcomed especially during a personal special occasion.

On top of that, you can also host any parties in their outlet. They are very happy to help you with everything, even finding a full meal caterer! If you’re dining in, don’t forget to use your student card for that 30% discount!

Foodie | Miru Dessert is my happy heaven. I'm serious.

Miru Dessert Cafe

Halal: Yes | More information below

This is not a one-time visit review but a minimum of 15 visits entry because I love them so much and it's time I share my love with you all.

Quite honestly, I've lost count of the exact amount of times that I've visited Miru but I'm very certain with 14 visits through my IG story archives along with 1 visit prior to that (I went there with my sisters only once and that was memorable). There are other visits that I've been there but not recorded so I really can't track it down. 

Bear with me a little bit on the photo quality. I swear it will get better as you scroll because I changed to a new phone at a certain point. I'll also describe to you how they taste as we go along.

Most Important Day

It's also the first entry I can find in my IG story archive. On 8th of August 2018, me and my boyfie visited Miru's Damansara Uptown branch after a good meal in Bangsar. It was the day we officially confirm our relationship so it was a really, really big day for us. 


We ordered the most amazing Chocolate Lava Cake along with a Strawberry Cheesecake Kakigori to sweeten up with some fruity flavours. The Chocolate Lava Cake is baked with the crispy outside but super moist and gooey inside, matching with sliced strawberry. It's a perfect pair. You get to eat amazing brownie textured chocolate dessert while covering the strawberry with the leaking chocolate from the cake. They also give you a scoop of vanilla ice cream to go with it but I'm not a fan with the pairing. The Strawberry Cheesecake Kakigori on the other hand, it was dripping in strawberry sauce and some strawberry cuts on the top and within the shaved ice. Inside the shaved ice, you will also find actual cheesecake which tasted so amazing! It's the solid type of cheesecake but it melts in your mouth easily. Then, we also ordered Royal Milk Tea for him while I got myself Mango Smoothie. He loved the Royal Milk Tea so much that we kept ordering it in our future visits.

16th September 2018


Yes, we kept ordering chocolate lava cake until we tried the Shibuya honey toast from our birthday freebie treat by Miru! We both signed up for the membership and we get birthday treats along with the after-signup welcome gift. I redeemed first since my birthday is earlier than his. 

The Shibuya Honey Toast has a very crispy outer layer which felt like a layer of roasted sugar on top of creme brulee. The inside of the toast is very soft and buttery. The toast was paired with two scoops of vanilla ice cream and whip cream too. When you pour the syrup over the toast, it makes the toast even better. I know that people who don't like sweetness wouldn't prefer going for the syrup but hey, try a little bit first. On the side note, while I really like sweet things, over pouring the syrup might give you immediate diabetes. Just pour a few drops over and it'll be enough.


Miru Membership

Speaking of membership, if you want to be part of their membership program, here's how it works.

1. Download the app call POKET from your app store.
2. Search for Miru from the Merchant section
3. Sign up for it

What you can get:
Welcome coupon, Birthday Freebie (Shibuya Honey Toast) and more discounts if you rank up.

Currently, I'm at the second rank, Platinum (there are 3 ranks in total) and I can enjoy 10% discount and I can also redeem items from the menu with points. One confusing thing tho, it says that it's a Lifetime thing but I also need to renew it by spending another RM250? That amount didn't change since my last transaction, by the way. I noticed it before payment and it still looked the same after payment. But ngeh, it's okay. I'll get some clarification from the staff another day and if I'm supposed to renew it, I'll happily spend another RM250 for it. I love them like that.


21st October 2018


Anyway, back to our food adventure with Miru, we loved the toast so much that I ordered it again on another occasion. On 21th October, we were willing to pay for another round. The mango smoothie was just for me to quench some thirst and cool me down after walking for a long period of time.
