Chocolate Rush

This one is for all chocolate lovers out there. Being a chocoholic is hard when you move to a place you barely know few streets of. At the beginning I stuck to the KFC chocolate cake since it was familiar... stupidly not knowing what I was missing out on.

But sooner or later, I knew the cravings were going to take over my comfortable feeling of familiar and send me out there for the pursuit of the best chocolate, I packed my bags... downloaded calorie counter apps (since I knew I needed some sort of a calorie police before I became a chocolate abuser!).

I understand how frustrating it is to order a chocolate dessert and get disappointed. It is not like a bad cake or tiramisu, when it involves chocolate.. it has to be great! And to be honest, although this quest , is yummy.. it is also bad! If you can't handle the extra calories DON'T TRY THIS!...  I have shortlisted my favorites to save you some of the trouble.

It all began with a night out at Hard Rock Cafe Dubai:

It was then when I learnt that I shouldn't share chocolate anymore. I usually share dishes with the people I hang out with, and sharing this one was a mistake.. because it was too yummy to eat half the portion.. and too late to order a new one!



The first time I ordered this brownie's dessert, it was a magical dish! I was determined to go back for it again, but when I did.. it wasn't as magical as the first time. I also have heard stories from people I know that it wasn't always bad, so I guess it depends on luck.. or the chef.. But if you were lucky to go when that Chef is there.. then you'll eat the best brownies you could ever have!

The next best chocolate cake ever is in Abu Dhabi. This Chocolate cake from Miss J Cafe in Abu-Dhabi should be marked as the best chocolate cake in the UAE. It is unbelievably delicious and fresh. you can taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite! It is perfect with black coffee, and my advice: don't add sugar to the coffee, just enjoy a bite of a perfect cake with every sip.

 This one was a pure pleasure, it started with the surprise of Tony Roma's offering us this great dish on the house, and ended with a happy full stomach. It was relatively yummy, heavier than the others mentioned before, but definitely a must!  This is one dish that you have to watch what you are ordering at a steak house in order to make room for.

Last week I tried this Texas Roadhouse brownies. It didn't match the previous ones, but it wasn't bad at all, the only problem is that you can consider it a full meal! It is massive and I think it should have a "Do not eat and drive" disclaimer next to it.

And finally, my favorite chocolate place on earth, The Chocolate Bar in Dubai Mall. It is called Alison Nelson Chocolate Bar, but referred to as THE amazing chocolate bar. The combination between the hot chocolate lava and cold vanilla ice-cream will give you a mouthful of happiness. It is indeed a heavenly taste... 

It was then when I knew I should stop my chocolate journey  because I was sure I reached the ultimate chocolate destination. I understand people have different tastes, you might try all of that and totally disagree with me, but I'm telling you.. if you were a chocoholic like me; chances are.. you won't disagree!

Have a happy cake :)
