Death by Chocolate Cake

The last of the Calea

Deep Dark Classic

Death by Tablea

Had my lunch from Bodhi at SM North food court. On my way home, I decided to check the Chocolat Deep Dark Chocolate Cake Shop just outside The Block. From the food court exit, just cross the street towards The Block and you'll see the Chocolat sign. Beside it was Bo's Coffee which was closed as they'll be moving near the garden area.

I just wanted to compare it to Calea so I bought a slice of the Deep Dark Classic. Being a supporter of local creations, I also bought a slice of the Death by Tablea. Remember that I'm also a fan of Tsoko.Nut Batirol, so anything related to Philippine version of hot chocolate drink is a must-try for me.

The texture of the 2 Chocolat cakes is different from that of Calea. It has more moisture and almost melts in the mouth. The Calea cake is dense and eating the "icing" is like you're eating a chunk of melted chocolate bar. I won't really call it an icing but melted chocolate spread over the cake.

I only had a slice of both as I'm still going to have my afternoon nap. It should be eaten properly with freshly brewed Monk's Blend coffee from Bukidnon. Hence, I'll have it later for afternoon "tea".

Zzzzzzz...

Calea for super chocolatey experience...

Chocolat for the melt-in-your-mouth quality.
