Lava cake sitting on vanilla ice cream in a cup
Café setting: There are only three products sold at this two-branch chocolate chain – Changi Village and the younger 313@Somerset – the original ($29-$174), dark ($36-$216) and lava cakes ($5). We’re glad it’s opened up in town because indulgence should be accessible.
Chocolate Origin shop at 313@SomersetWhat to eat: These halal-certified cakes are not sold by the slice so gather up a group of six for the smallest 6-inch size (original $29, dark $36), or 36 people for a 12-inch (original $174, dark $216). The original melts in the mouth, though a little rich for us to handle; we stopped at one slice. While most commercial cakes have thick layers of sponge, Chocolate Origin’s stands out with a higher percentage of chocolate mousse made with Belgian dark chocolate with no extra sugar, colourings or preservatives.
The latest addition is a warm lava cake served in a cup ($5): vanilla ice cream fills the bottom half of the cup, while molten lava cake is on top. This rich and subtly sweet treat is an ingenious dessert-on-the-go – hands down one of the best desserts we’ve had in a long while.
