Chocolate Decadence

I've been blogging for quite a while now. But never on a regular basis. I blog consistently for a month or so and then for 6 months I totally forget about it! But for the past few months I've been thinking about this, a food (slash) perception blog. I'm always being asked by friends about where they should go for dinner or where is the best place to take their families for a quiet meal or what's the best item to order at a specific restaurant. I either have great taste or very common taste, either way my love for food and my humanitarian nature demands that I let people know where to go if they want a party in their mouth.

So on a recent stop-in at Karachi for a 24-hour stay before my flight to Dammam, I was stuffed with enough sugar to power a generator (that is IF generators ran on sugar!). There was so much chocolate that at a point I thought I would blow up and you'd find tiny nougats of chocolate instead of chunks of meat!

But the sad part about the mini trip to Karachi was that as soon as I reached at my Uncle's place from the airport and turned on the TV, someone somewhere had been shot at and Karachiites had been informed of a strike. So much for my excitement about the City of Lights!

But me being the brave and ever-resilient person that I am decided to go out the next day and me and Aunt and her tiny-tots ended up at the ever-famous Dolmen Mall - food court, to be exact!

And here's what I ate:

1. Chicken Stromboli from Lazzaro
2. Chocolate Decadence from Del Frio

The first one from the right on the second shelf - YUMM! <3

The stromboli was great, and I'm sure that was partially because it was fresh and I was as hungry as a whale on a plankton diet! But the cherry-on-the-cake was the slice of Del Frio's Chocolate Decadence. I mean, it was absolutely, doubtlessly the most wonderful slice of chocolate decadence I've had in my entire life. It was everything you'd expect a chocolate cake, chocolate cheesecake and Italian mousse bundled together to taste like.

The trip to Karachi would've been a bust considering I didn't get to see what all the fuss is about when people talk about Port Grand and I didn't get to meet all the lovely people I had planned to meet but it was saved by Del Frio's Chocolate Decadence. I just hope they can keep the quality standard maintained!

In case someone needs a recipe, here's one and here's another

Happy eating!
