I can't wait to try that chocolate cake/ ice cream that my friend was telling me about last night from Awfully Chocolate. Just the name of the place alone just makes me drool. No wonder Bloomberg (or was it BBC?) says that the chocolate business does better than jewelry nowadays. Well, it makes sense, it's easier to buy Lindt than Tiffany! Men find it more affordable to give a box of Le Maison Du Chocolat (which is not cheap at HK$500 to HK$1000 for a box of 4-6 pieces) than a set of jewelry at Chopard. But, I must say both chocolate and jewelry are both dangerous, one for the calories and the other for the bank account. Gulp! Why are good things bad for us?
It's seven o' clock in the morning and I am thinking of all these sweets. Bad bad bad! I have a whole list of places to try so you can crave with me.
1. Sift- yummy yummy cupcakes. My fave is the plain chocolate and Red Velvet.
2. Complete Deelite- I think they've got it right with the texture and taste for one of the best cupcakes in town.
3. Baby Cakes- not as good as the first two, but worth trying anyway.
4. Le Maison Du Chocolat- their chocolates are not expensive for nothing, plus the boxes look like packaging for Hermes, a bonus. I heard their hot chocolate is to die for.
5. Godiva- can you believe I have not tried them yet? But what I wanna try are their coffee or milkshakes and ice cream. Yum!
6. Royce- I'm always curious how they taste like when I'm at City Super
7. See's- my all time-favorite!
8. Scoop- I am addicted to this new ice cream place at City Super. Everytime I walk out of that place, people ask me where I got the yummy looking ice cream.
9. Marks and Spencer New York Cheesecake- and if it's cheesecake you are craving for, try this one and you'll thank me after.
Talking about chocolates and desserts at this time of day is not good at all... I hear my stomach growling and feel my mouth salivating. Gotta go and get myself some brekkie. Perhaps some pancakes, parma ham, rocket, cheese on baguette, a bottle of Orangina? All of the above!
