My fling with Awfully Chocolate started at East Coast Road and it did not start well. In fact, I hated their original dark chocolate cake. It was way too dry to deserve any credit. I did not understand the hype, see no reason in wasting my calories on a shop which seem too busy with becoming a media darling than to bake a humble chocolate cake. Thus, when it opened another outlet nearer home at Cluny Court, I did not even give it a second look. Until Awfully Chocolate diversified. At first
Until Awfully Chocolate diversified. At first I was cynical. I remembered how principled they used to sound. How chocolate cake should be purely enjoyed on its own, how it should be rich and non-confusing in taste, how there was no need for variety. Blah. Blah. Blah. However, as more outlets sprout out all over the island, I gave in. Weakness of the mind is my greatest weakness.
AND. This slow poached chocolate with Bailey Cream is GOOD! The chocolate is dense but not too heavy. The taste of cocoa is distinct. The chocolate can be slightly coarse and smoother texture will make this a perfect dessert. But I can live with it. What's more it came with a generous amount of light cream to break the monotony of eating chocolate. Great dessert I must say. Hmm, I wonder if I should give the original cake another try then?
