New pralines at Kakawa

Chai latte cup praline, Kakawa, Darlinghurst

First up, the sad news: the Blueberry and Yogurt praline has been phased out at Kakawa in Darlinghurst.

The good news: the store’s display case is filled with many great consolation prizes.

One new addition is the Wild Lemon, which twists the tang and sweetness of lemon into a lovely showdown with milk chocolate. I like it even more knowing that it’s made from fruit that co-owner David picked from his family’s farm.

My new favourite, though, is the Chai Latte Cup, which is a cloudburst of exquisite flavour, spiced through with clove, cinnamon and cardamom.

It’s the sort of experience that makes you want to hit the pause button, so you can enjoy it even longer. Or the replay button, so you can greedily relive it a few times more.

There are also other new flavours in-store (Smoked Truffle!, Raspberry Jelly!), but these two are centre-of-attention for me right now.

By the way, as part of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival, Kakawa is running “Bean to Bar” single-origin chocolate tastings, every Saturday through October at 4.30pm. To book you can call on the number below or email through dtr4jsk@yahoo.com.au, which is probably the cutest email address I’ve come across – it stands for David Tobias Ralph 4 Jin Sun Kim (the lovely couple who run the chocolatier).

Also, happy birthday to Kakawa. It’s the only one-year-old I know whose chocolate habit should be encouraged.

Shop 5, 147 William St (a few blocks from the Darlinghurst Rd end), Darlinghurst, (02) 9331 8818, www.kakawachocolates.com.au.

  3. Great post, Lee! Kakawa’s wild lemon and chai latte are some of my absolute favourite chocolates in Sydney…

    PS: just wrote a blog post on their brand new Christmas range. Have you tried it yet? It’s just divine!

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
