"You've come at just the right time," said Pichet Ong. He was preparing a plate of chocolate truffles for sampling. And these weren't just any chocolate truffles; they were the salted butter caramel, basil balsamic, white chocolate jasmine and saffron Pernod concoctions of Ellen Mirsky. She's selling 6-piece boxes of them at Batch, Pichet Ong's delightful addition to P*ong.
My timing had been horrendous earlier this week. I'd attempted to visit Batch on Monday after reading a newspaper article which incorrectly stated that the sweets shop was open every day. Unfortunately, Batch is closed on Mondays! Naturally, I had to make up for lost time. So I filled up on luscious raspberry cream cake, dense, fudgy chocolate mint cookies, a big chocolate chunk cookie, and a cake topped with thin slices of bananas. Oh, and those truffles.
