Well we had great aspirations to explore on our last day in NZ, but we didn’t get very far. For the past two days we’ve been passing She Chocolat at Governor’s Bay on our route over Dyer’s Pass. As we were in exploration mode and it was coffee time, we succumbed to natural curiosity.
One look at the menu and we changed our minds. We decided to stay for brunch. Here is what we ordered:
Chocolatier’s Brunch
Organic house breads, summer fruits, yoghurt, chocolate and hazelnut pate, chocolate and raspberry jam and cheeses. Chocolate and cheese is amazing together (their words, not mine)! Complete with She Chocolat’s Chocolate Trail Mix which includes rainsins, seeds, nuts and cacao nibs, all rolled in the finest Belgian chocolate. As you can see – it was really quite modest – and we shared it!
Well we just finished it. Duncan said, “What a great send off for our last day in NZ. Claudia said, “I wouldn’t mix the chocolate and the cheese, the cheese taste is dominated by the chocolate,but maybe that’s what chocolate lovers like about the combination.”
Another exerpt from the menu:
How to Eat Truffles
Close your eyes and allow each truffle to take you – first with the snap of the shell and then through the disappearing into the sensual inner that has been blended to perfection. No two truffles are the same and each demands complete presence. Eating truffles is about chocolate presence; there is nothing like it for chocolate lovers!
Too bad we are not here on Mondays. The founder of She, Bernie Prior, teaches The Form to clear the mind, create abundant life energy, create a space of deep relaxation and opens the heart to experience more joy. The sessions are by donation and I’ll bet they give you a truffle upon completion.
