Cocoa Colony (Suntec City)

 Cocoa Colony was founded in 1848 by two Spanish aristocrat brothers, Carlos and Louie, when they accidently stumbled upon ”Amazonian Gold" cocoa beans when they were shipwrecked.

 
Not only is cocoa delicious, it has various health benefits too. Cocoa is a powerful antioxidant, it improves blood flow, prevents weight gain, protects your skin and even improves brain function!
 
 
Cocoa Colony has taken over the spot previously occupied by Casa Italia, at Tower 3 of Suntec City Mall. The window seats are extremely popular where you can get a bird's-eye view of the surroundings.
 

 

Cocoa 100 is the original recipe of hot cocoa created by the Brothers, 100% rich and thick cocoa for the true cocoa addicts. Cocoa 76, which is what I am having now, is created especially for the weight-conscious ladies who enjoy cocoa but want something less sweet. Cocoa 38 is created for those who prefer a sweeter beverage.

 

 

If you want something rich and cold, try Sea Salt Caramel Coffee Smoothie. A layer layer of thick premium coffee at the bottom, followed by rich milk coffee and topped with ice-blended salted caramel. Mix everything together and you get a rich coffee drink with just a hint of salty sweetness.
 
The ordinary egg mayonnaise sandwich is instantly brought up a level in Truffle Egg & Cucumber Sandwich by the addition of truffle oil while the chopped cucumber slices balances out the oiliness of the dish.
 
 
If you are looking for something classic, you can try Original Mac & Cheese but the pungent cheese used was too strong for my delicate palate and I had a hard time stomaching it.

 

 
There is a merchandise corner where you can get gourmet chocolate bars, espresso cups, gift sets, steel mugs and thumbdrives shaped like gold bars. They are ideal as a gift for that cocoa-addict friend or family.
 
Cocoa Colony is still rather new in Singapore, having only entered Singapore in December 2014, but the brand is expanding rapidly with plans to open up to 12 outlets in Singapore and expand into Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and London in the next few years.
 
Addresses, telephone numbers and opening hours of all 7 outlets in Singapore can be found here.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
