Sugar rush

For the longest time, I’ve wanted to try Chocolate Fire.  Whenever I checked their fan page in Facebook, I drool over the pictures of their chocolate creations.  I really want to have a slice of that darn chocolate cake!  Finally, the long wait is over.  When my friends and I, the yumyum monsters, that’s what we fondly call ourselves, set our Christmas get together we had it at Chocolate Fire.  I couldn’t contain my excitement as we walked towards the entrance of the establishment.  As we enter the place, i was in awe by their chocolate display at the counter from truffles, praline, ganache, different fruits dipped in chocolate, cakes, cookies, lollipops, barks, and a lot more mouth-watering chocolate creations.  I was surprised that they also have an extensive menu from appetizers, sandwiches, salad, pasta and many more.  The place exudes a romantic ambiance with bossa music playing in the background.  The interiors are warm with red and white hues and wooden pieces all throughout the place and of course the smell of chocolates....hhhmmmm... aphrodisiac!  It’s a perfect date place for chocolate lovers out there.

Now on to the food...the group decided to order snacks as we went there on merienda time. 

• Beef tortellini

 

The pasta was just okay for me.  Nothing to rave about.  It lacks some omph in it.

• Hungarian sausage with mashed potato

  

 The sausage was smoky and peppery but the mashed potato is bland.

Of course we ordered desserts that’s the whole point why we’re there. 

• Dark iced chocolate drink

I chose dark iced chocolate with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream...SINFUL but HEAVENLY!  I enjoyed every sip of that chocolatey drink.

• Strawberry sunrise

Doc aimee had this vanilla ice-cream with strawberries, wafers, marshmallows, and pure whipped cream drizzled with chocolate sauce.

• Fire and ice sundae

Lars opted for fire and ice sundae, which composed of chocolate and vanilla ice-cream, chocolate sauce, chocolate curls, chopped nuts, and pure whipped cream.

• Chocolate-covered strawberry and Chocolate-dipped Pringles

 

 

This is Cheng with her desserts

• Chocolate cheesecake

Not satisfied yet, I ordered chocolate cheesecake.  First bite – BOOM!!!  I’m in love!  Every bite was HEAVEN!  All I could say was "ummmmhhh" and stared Doc aimee with wide eyes @_@

The verdict, I'll visit Chocolate Fire again in a heart beat for the DESSERTS.  Go eat somewhere else for lunch or dinner.  Their meals weren't that great.  Considering it's price, I expect something spectacular not mediocre, well at least from my experience.

But for this chocolate cheesecake that I miss every now and then... FIREWORKS!

Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
