Mamlaket al Chocolat Mou Will Make A Chocoholics Dreams Come True
Understated is an understatement when it comes to describing Mamlaket al Chocolat Mou. The name in and of itself is fancy, dripping with decadence and royal suggestion. And the reality? Not too far off.
Mention el Mamlaket to anyone who grew up North slurping down their fluffy, sweet concoctions and munching on the signature cake, they’ll be rushing to get in the car and make the trek up for a cup. So we were set out to find out what makes it so addictive and memorable, and we were pleasantly surprised.
First, a little history: the shop, located near the bustling area of Azmi in Tripoli, Mamlaket al Chocolat Mou was established as a little cubbyhole over twenty years ago by its founding father RIP, whose legacy has been embraced in recent years by his three kids.
The signature cake (the gateau royal) is a perfect combination of fluffy mousse and freshly baked chocolate sheet cake. Their decadent chocolate mousse is the real reason to visit, though. Remarkable, fluffy chocolate mousse served in an old school cup that will remind you of sweeter days. A small cup is priced at 3,500 LL, a medium at 4,500 LL, and a large at 5,500 but spare yourself the multiple orders and just get the large from the get-go – and don’t forget about their cake!
Long-time fans tell us this dessert can only be made better when you pop it in the freezer for an hour or so.
Bottom line: this quaint dessert parlor is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth. Try it out, let us know what you think.
