Hazelnut mousse and chocolate truffle cake @ Sweet lodge

Previously this dessert house used to be Fat Mama's Dessert, but Chinese desserts were not my cup of tea so I never went in.
To be honest, FMD looked really gloomy from the outside.

Anyway, this new Sweet Lodge fares slightly better, however its menu design gave me the impression it only served Chinese desserts until I looked at it closely.

The newly decorated dessert house was brighter than the previous shop and more appealing, it had lilac benches, similar to "Ng doy tung tong" but not as purple because they had white tables as well.
The menu could have been more modern to match the decor.
It would have been helpful if it had English as well.
If you can't read English, you can simply look at the fridge.

Went at an awkard timing because the staff were having their meal, so it was an awkard timing to order.

For the western desserts, they had chocolate truffle cake, chocolate mousse, hazelnut mousse, creme brulee and various milk puddings in glass jars just like Milk top. They also had this pear thing, but I couldnt read the Chinese, so I am guessing it is supposed to be a pear tart.

I ordered the chocolate truffle cake, chocolate mousse and hazelnut mousse.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chocolate Truffle cake:
The chinese name for it was "ju gu lik chung low" and the English was chocolate truffle.
When I tried it, it was velvety hard and like the western chocolate truffle texture.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chocolate mousse:
This was quite nice and not too sweet, also velvety smooth.
I would have preferred it without the crispy flakes.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hazelnut mousse:
Not many places serve hazelnut mousse, so tried it as well.
Again I would have preferred it without the crispy flakes.
It would have been nice if it was topped with real crushed hazelnuts or if the mousse had pieces of hazelnuts in it.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Overall, the desserts were Ok, and it was impressive the dessert chef was wearing formal clothing.

This new dessert shop has definately brightened Thompson Road along with Gem Restaurant opposite.
