Recline back in a comfortable chair on The Boon Terrace Lounge and prepare to be amazed by Fanny Chan’s unique take on chocolate. Marrying a heritage of Chinese, Filipino and Australian influences with a Belgian chocolate education from Patrick Mertens (one of Belgium’s top ten chocolatiers); Fanny has created a selection of perfectly sized chocolate squares that will substantially elevate your expectations of chocolate in the future. I began with a Hot Chocolate ($7.50), served with a Boon praline of choice and an airy, rich mousse. A Chocolate Teaser Plate ($7.50/ 5 pieces) can be self-selected or left it in the hands of the experts; Fanny’s charming brother Alex Chan gave my palate a workout. My pinnacle was Balsamico, a combination of milk chocolate, balsamic vinegar, strawberry praline and a clever sprinkle of salt and pepper. The Kurobiko flavoured with roasted sesame is like the perfect end to a Japanese meal. The swirling balance of passionfruit and caramel in Pash was memorable. The delicacy of the beautiful hand-painted Mira of white chocolate ganache, strawberry and Tasmanian pepper berry made me ache for more. They’re conveniently located for taking a box of bliss to someone worthy at St Vincent’s Hospital; but I prefer to eat my own Box ($30/16 pralines) in private.
