Where you can try Dubai chocolate in Bangkok

The viral Dubai chocolate craze that has overtaken social media has finally reached Bangkok — and thank goodness for that! Popularised on social media, Dubai chocolate bars have become a must-try staple for chocolate lovers all over the world.

So what is Dubai chocolate? Well, they’re giant, Willy-Wonka-looking chocolate bars that are filled with a mixture of pistachio cream and kunafa, a traditional Middle-Eastern pastry made from strands of shredded phyllo dough. The nutty, creamy filling paired with the decadent chocolate coating makes this pretty much the perfect dessert — plus, the flavour combination lends itself well to Dubai chocolate-inspired pastries, which is good news for any bakery-goer!

Oldschool Brownies

Here at Oldschool Brownies, you can find their signature Habibi Dubai Brownies, as well as a range of their best-selling Habibi Dubai Chocolate Bars. Their most sought-after flavour is Thai Tea, but the Horlicks, Dark Chocolate, and Milk Chocolate flavours are also well worth sampling! The brownies are for sale in-store at two daily rounds (12pm and 6pm), and can also be ordered for delivery.

Available in-store and for delivery via Line and Grab.

Speciality: Thai Tea White Chocolate Habibi Dubai Chocolate (590 baht per box of two bars) and Habibi Dubai Brownies (520 baht per box)

The Rolling Pinn

The milk and dark Dubai Chocolate Bars at the Rolling Pinn are liable to sell out before the end of the day, so paying them a visit before 5pm might be a good idea! The bars are also available for delivery, so that’s always a Plan B in case you miss out on the in-store supply. For those craving cake, they also offer a super decadent Dubai Cake Box (590 baht), or a larger ‘Birthday’ size priced at 2,290 baht.

Christian: “This coffee shop is very much like a scene of a Wes Anderson movie — very bright colors and a lot of tiny details to explore. Their coffee is good and I really like their cheesecake, but what they are really famous for is their custard shortbread. I haven’t tried it yet but it looks good. Prices are at a higher level for both drinks and pastries. Service is very attentive.”

Emiebkk

EmieBKK is mostly a delivery bakery, so while they do have pop-up stores from time to time, the best way to try their sugar-free Dubai chocolate (available in milk and dark chocolate) in Bangkok is through LineShop, Line, or Grab. Fair warning, though — their waitlist for orders is filled up until November, so best get your name down early! They also have a new Dubai Chocolate Cake, available in a smaller cup size as well as a larger cake size, for order, which has just undergone a recipe update and now features a light, tiramisu-style cream filling. A must-try!

Available for delivery via LineShop, Line, and Grab.

Speciality: Milk and dark sugar-free Dubai Chocolate (350 baht each)

Location: online store (via LineShop)

Rosesfood: “Dubai chocolate sugar-free!! 😍🍫 I have to say, it’s incredibly popular right now. I tried both flavors—milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The chocolate bars are super thin with a nice crisp snap when you bite into them, and the tempering is perfect. The pistachio filling with kataifi pastry is wonderfully nutty and crunchy, with a mild sweetness. Since the bars are so thin, they’re incredibly easy to eat, and I finished one bar in no time! 😄😆”

Scene Bangkok

Right now Scene Bangkok has two Dubai chocolate-inspired desserts available for order — their crispy Dubai Chocolate Tart and their Dubai Chocolate Cream Puff. The tart features a delicate, buttery crust along with a creamy pistachio-kunafa filling, while the cream puff has a more delicate flavour combination… but both of these treats are well worth a taste, so I guess you’ll just have to have both! Definitely a hidden gem in Bangkok for Dubai chocolate.

Plus, with most shops offering to-your-door delivery, it’s almost a crime not to give these goodies a try for yourself!
