High on Sugar: Chocolate Finesse, THIRTY8, Grand Hyatt KL

Love chocolate? You're in luck because for the month of April, chocolate is taking the spotlight at THIRTY8's signature weekend affair, High on Sugar. Indulge in all things chocolate, from delicious sweets to savouries and cocoa drinks, with a breathtaking panoramic view of the KL city skyline, including a dramatic full frontal view of the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.

Executive Chef Rolf Knecht is all for supporting local produce as part as Grand Hyatt's sustainability efforts, so the team will be using chocolate sourced from Cameron Highlands in Malaysia, in addition to chocolates from France, Belgium, and his home country, Switzerland.

The Chocolate Buffet will feature over 40 chocolate-inspired recipes, including Swiss white chocolate raspberry cake, Chocolate eclairs, Pahang chocolate banana cake, Hazelnut Belgium milk chocolate cake, and Burnt swiss chocolate cheesecake. There will also be dainty desserts served in shot glasses, “In the glass” station, such as Traditional chocolate mousse, Traditional crème brûlée, Pahang chocolate crème brûlée, Churros, Tropical fruit trifle, and Gula Melaka mousse. Guests can also enjoy gelatos from Whimsical and free-flow tea, coffee, hot chocolate and chocolate smoothies.

Not to be missed is the hand-whipped chocolate milkshake, made using whipped cream, Pahang chocolate and vanilla ice cream. The best chocolate milkshake ever!

Catering to the health-conscious, the guilt-free corner offers a variety of healthy options that are low in calories and high in nutritional value, such as Swiss white chocolate praline with frozen passion fruit, Belgium chocolate raspberry gateau, Sugar-free chocolate mousse, Gluten, dairy and sugar-free chocolate cake and Bon bon jelly.

Furthermore, there will be interactive live stations and chocolate tasting counters, where chefs will explain and provide insights on different local and imported chocolates. Here, you will find the likes of Callebaut from Belgium, Valrhona from France, Felchlin from Switzerland and Avant from Pahang. Using the same chocolate brownie recipe, it was interesting to taste the difference in flavours of each chocolate.

Guests can also order savouries from the a la minute menu; with a few new chocolate-inspired items such as white chocolate baba ghannouj, guilt-free shake salad with salted chocolate nibs and cocoa espresso Black Angus beef meatballs. There will also be Shepherd's pie, Steamed sea bass, Potato puff, Assorted dim sum, Wok-fried carrot cake and more.

The baba ghannouj was our favorite!
