Morozoff is one of Japan’s leading luxury confectionary makers, it was founded by a Russian émigré in Kobe, 1931. Since then, Morozoff has played a pioneering role in the western confectionary in Japan.
I didn’t know we used to have Morozoff over here in Singapore more than 10 years ago, now it has made a comeback and opened up a Morozoff Singapore boutique at Plaza Singapura just last year.
Morozoff Singapore carries a selection of the brand’s signature fine chocolates, cookies and other packaged sweets such as madeleines and financiers, all air-flown directly from Japan to ensure quality and freshness.
Together with 75CL, they recently held a Morozoff Chocolates & Cookies and Wines Pairing experiential event at the Morozoff Singapore, Plaza Singapura outlet. If you are snacking on Chocolates & Cookies, of course it will be great to go with some good wines.
Premium Chocolates Selection & Reds / Whites
Prices start at $30 for a S Box of 11 Premium Chocolates and ranges to $145 for a XXL Box of 54 Premium Chocolates.
An assortment of high-quality chocolates made from carefully selected ingredients through Morozoff’s traditional techniques. Nuts, fruits, liqueurs, caramel, coffee and black tea have been paired with these chocolates to enhance the rich flavour of cacao.
I don’t really like chocolates but I can tell you after trying Morozoff Singapore’s Premium Chocolates Selection that they are of a good quality.
Left: Michel Lynch Reserve (Sauvignon Blanc) 2013, France Bordeaux $43
Right: Michel Lynch Reserve Medoc 2015 France Bordeaux $46
Morozoff’s Premium Chocolates Selection is recommended to best pair with 75CL’s Michel Lynch Reserve (Sauvignon Blanc) 2013, France Bordeaux or the Michel Lynch Reserve Medoc 2015 France Bordeaux. I am not a fan of Red/White wines so I can’t comment much.
Plain Chocolates & Moscato / Riesling
Prices start at $25 for a XS Box of 15 Plain Chocolates and ranges to $8? for a XL Box of x Plain Chocolates.
Plain Chocolates which allow you to simply enjoy the flavor of the chocolate, fragrant pralines and more, all with particular attention paid to the taste of cacao. These flavours have been created without liqueurs and they are popular with everyone from children to the older folks.
Left: Cesare Pavese Moscato D’Asti 2016 Italy Piedmont $38
Right: Dr Hermann Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2015, Germany Mosel $42
Morozoff’s Plain Chocolates are recommended to best pair with 75CL’s Cesare Pavese Moscato D’Asti 2016 Italy Piedmont or the Dr Hermann Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2015, Germany Mosel.
The Moscato is my favourite among all the wines I tried. I generally like Moscatos so I recommend this if you have a sweet taste bud like mine. Surprisingly, I like the Riesling too. A lot of Rieslings can taste dry, this one is not and is also slightly sweet with a sour aftertaste.
Arcadia Cookies & Rose
Prices start at $15 for a XS Box of Arcadia Cookies (90g) and ranges to $87 for a XL Box of Arcadia Cookies (555g).
The aromatic Arcadia Cookies is one of Morozoff’s bestsellers, each packed full of roast nuts. Light, delicate dough made with egg whites and baked to a crisp finish to create one of Morozoff’s long-time favourites.
Left: Also comes in $8 for a Pack of Arcadia Cookies (70g).
4 Flavours: Chocolate Chip, Almond, Cashew Nut & Mixed Nut.
Right: Marrenon Merlot Rose 2016 France Luberon $40
Morozoff’s Arcadia Cookies are recommended to best pair with 75CL’s Marrenon Merlot Rose 2016 France Luberon. This Rose is a little bitter, I don’t really like it.
75CL Wines
Morozoff Singapore have partnered with 75CL to offer a selection of wines other than the 5 I have tried above in their Morozoff Singapore boutique.
They are also running a joint promotion where you can get a 75CL $40 FREE Tasting Credit when you purchase any Morozoff Singapore and 75CL products together! While stocks last.
Also check out the other ranges of confectionary that Morozoff Singapore offer in-stores.
Golden Fancy Chocolates & Odette
Left: Prices start at $15 for a XS Box of 9 Golden Fancy Chocolates and ranges to $45 for a M Box of 32 Golden Fancy Chocolates.
Right: Prices start at $15 for a XXS Box of 6 Odette Cookies and ranges to $30 for a S Box of 18 Odette Cookies.
Enjoy the exquisitely unique flavours of the Golden Fancy Chocolates, a well-balanced assortment of diverse chocolates, from velvety plain chocolate to coffee, liqueurs and caramel.
Odette are twin cookies made with nuts and butter, filled with vanilla crème. Crisp roll cookies with a luxurious buttery flavour. Both are available in two delicious varieties, chocolate and vanilla. Their elegant sweetness and mild flavour make them ideal, not only for tea time and parties, but as gifts for a wide range of events.
Feuillage
Prices start at $15 for a XXS Box of 6 Feuillage Cookies and ranges to $87 for a XL Box of 36 Feuillage Cookies.
The other Morozoff’s bestseller is the Feuillage, a delicate, leaf-shaped cookie packed full of sliced nuts for a crunchy, fragrant finish. A layer of chocolate is sandwiched between two cookies to enhance the flavour of the nuts.
Broadland
Prices start at $28 for a S Box of assorted 8 Broadland Madeleines/Financiers/Baked Cheese Cakes and ranges to $80 for a XL Box of assorted 24 Broadland Madeleines/Financiers/Baked Cheese Cakes.
Soft and mellow Madeleines, made with an abundance of eggs and butter. Luxurious and fragrant Financiers, crafted from butter and almond flavour. And the Baked Cheese Cakes whose rich and velvety flavour comes from full-bodied Camembert cheese.
I’ve tried both the Madeleine & Financier because I actually got one of each to try, they taste really rich and buttery.
Broadland also comes individually at $4 each.
Other than the Madeleines, Financiers & Baked Cheese Cakes, the Broadland range also includes flavours such as the Almond Cake Mint and the special and seasonal flavour that’s out for the Father’s Day period, the Setouchi Lemon Cake. I heard Morozoff Singapore had a Strawberry flavoured one for Mother’s Day earlier.
Fancy Dessert Puddings
Morozoff’s fruit Fancy Dessert Puddings have a refreshing combination of fruit juice and smooth jelly that allows the natural taste of the fruit to shine for their Orange, Grape, Peach, Hokkaido Melon & Cherry flavours. I’ve tried the Orange & Peach flavours, they are so good and really refreshing for this hot Singapore weather, one of it is not enough. Prices start at $10 for a bag of 2 and ranges to $87 for a box of 18.
The Fancy Dessert Puddings also come in Morozoff’s signature creamy Chocolate Mousse & Custard Pudding flavours with 7 flavours in total. Morozoff’s Fancy Dessert Puddings are best enjoyed chilled. They make perfect desserts for after meals.
I feel that the Japanese are really good at making Custard Puddings and Morozoff’s Custard Pudding is one of my favourites. Experience the smooth, rich taste of Morozoff’s Custard Puddings made from a mixture of eggs, milk & sugar. The mild bitterness of the caramel sauce melds beautifully with the mellow sweetness of the custard to create a balance of flavours. It is so tasty! Prices are at $15 for a bag of 2.
Do you know how you can get through this hot Singapore weather?
Gelato Alla Frutta
I can’t wait to try Morozoff Singapore’s latest summer offering, the Gelato All Frutta, refreshingly delicate fruity flavoured sorbets that melt in your mouth are available in the following flavours: Yuzu, Grape, Mandarin Orange & Strawberry.
I feel that Morozoff Singapore products make perfect gift ideas, I think they will be very popular during Christmas and Chinese New Year.
