Bateel

This place is perfect if you’re looking for a gift for someone special. They are specialized in really good quality chocolate and it is a global brand present in many countries.
They have a huge variety of truffles and high-​end chocolates which make a perfect gift considering they are beautifully wrapped.
The price is very steep but it’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for something really high-​quality. The person at the counter was very knowledgeable and helpful and the service was really nice. Overall a good experience that I might not have in the future due to the price in ringgits and calories.

Welcome to a delicious world of deluxe chocolates, delectable dates, superb pastries and a vast selection of gourmet foods. Welcome to Bateel!
I found about Bateel a couple if days ago, when I was passing through Bangsar Shopping Center. I decided to check the place when I saw the amazing chocolates in the window. Once inside, I saw that the shop has a variety of products from which cac be offered as gifts: corporate gifts, festive giveaways, wedding gifts and many more occasions.
The boutique is also specialised in in premium dates, chocolates, pastries and other gourmet products. The varieties available are also astounding — from the fresh to the dried versions, and gourmet to the less expensive ones sold at the street stalls
And if you love dates, this is the perfect place where you can buy them. The store might not sell all types at once, but here are some personal favorites that I can vouch for.
Agwa is probably the most expensive one sold in the store because it’s called kurma Nabi. If you like semi-​sweet ones, go for Khidri or Safawy. Silaj and Sifri have slightly sweeter tastes. If you like a more exotic taste, go for lemon or orange peel ones. I find that the taste of orange peel is a tad too strong since I prefer the original taste of dates. Khidri, when paired with caramelised nuts can be too sweet for those who doesn’t have a sweet tooth. But Khidri with roasted almond is … just perfect!
With the word premium tagged to the dates carry by Bateel, you can expect the price to be quite expensive. E.g. The Khidri with Caramelised Almond or Pecan is sold at RM23.40 per 100g. That’s about 7 to 8 pieces of dates.
Although Bateel stores can be found in 15 countries, unfortunately there’s only one available in Malaysia and two in Indonesia.

I have to say. WOW.
I would end my comment right here, because if you taste one of their chocolates you wont be able to say anything else. Actually you wouldn’t even want to say anything. You just want to close your eyes and wish that moment never ended and that this amazing chocolate would never melt out in your mouth. Just stay right there forever.
If i was asked how heaven tastes? I would answer — just like Bateel chocolate.
I couldn’t say it’s better than Bateel, because I honestly don’t think that it is possible.
Get a box of amazingly wrapped Bateel chocolate to your loved one and you will be forgiven any mistake. ;D
I am actually glad that it is really expensive pleasure, because this would be my number one addiction.
ENJOY!
