I was craving for brownies and the first place that came to my mind was The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Although I didn't have a very good impression of the cakes and drinks in coffee bean but I thought I should give it a try in case the cake will blow my mind away. I will never know unless I try. I went to coffee bean after school to grab my brownie and of course do some work. With the exams around the corner, coffee bean was slightly crowded with JC students and was a little noisy, something I did

Honestly, the cakes in the cake bar all looked very deliciously and tempting. I was a little shaken and contemplated if I should try other cakes. But I stuck to my plan and decided to satisfy my craving and ordered Boston Nut Brownie at $5.50
The first mouthful of the Brownie was awesome because of the layer of chocolate ganache atop the brownie. However, as I continued, the level of disappointment began to increase. My ideal brownie should be dense and has a thick cocoa flavour. But the brownie from coffee bean was like a normal chocolate cake with a layer of ganache. I began to suspect I was eating a chocolate cake instead of brownie.
DISAPPOINTMENT
