Lé Trianon : Eat it like Kings and Queens

It was just another trip to Citta Mall at Ara Damansara during an ordinary evening when we stumbled upon this wondrous shop situated at the basement of the mall. 

Its front look gave an impression of a beauty salon, but what gave it away was the crowd gathering around the shop and the display slides on the LCD tv. They were MEN, kids and of course women sitting/ standing eagerly waiting for the arrival of something, and on the tv, it was pictures of CHOCOLATE CAKE!

 Ok, now we are interested :D Teehee ! 

Our nature of being meddlesome drives us to join the crowd, and you know, maybe to get info!?  

We were told by the ONLY shop assistant, probably chef in disguise that his shop actually specializes in chocolate cakes. But guess what, theres only two, yeshh, ONLY TWO types of chocolate cakes available. They are :

1. The common chocolate cake ( sandwich frosting)

2.  French Royal Cake ( THE BOMB, explanation below!!) 

This shop is called Lé Trianon, also the name of cake number two as per mentioned above. 

Lé Trianon (or Gâteau Royal or The French Royal Cake) is a dessert originated from France. 

The cake itself comprises of three layers, it is a very detailed chocolate art in the French's patisserie.

The very bottom layer is called the marcaron base, consisting of biscuits ( as what we're told of),

the middle layer consist of pure praline : almonds and other nuts; 

and the final/ top most layer is pure Belgian chocolate ganache with NO ADDED SUGAR, just purely chocolate. 

Oh yeah ! What you just read is exactly what we're told, a whole cake with QUALITY ingredients, its worth the try, ain't it? 

We bought one slice at RM8.90. 

Initially, there was a tiny bit of disappointment because when we opened the box to take a look, it was rather a tiny-mini-baby slice. seriously. 

But what comes after is pure satisfactory !

After our fiery enthusiasm to take the first bite, our tastebuds went in shock mode for a minute.

IT IS THAT GOOD ! 

The cake was has a smooth chocolatey taste, no hint of artificial add ons, there were right amount of crunch to compliment it. The best part was, its not sweet! 

It is Ferrero Rocher in a cake form. Only better. Way better. 

We can literally taste the cocoa aroma, the creamy ganache texture, followed by crispiness similar to Kellogg's Rice Krispies and a very mild biscuit base to balance out the two attention stealers.

How can we tell what is going on behind the TRIANON wall?

The classy looking Box

Self-pampering moments. 


p.s. nobody in the business world would run a shop with only two product choices available unless the confidence is there :) be your own judge, my friend.
