sugar rush - chocolate buffet
Yet another night out with the girls. :)We finally threw our senses away and indulged in the buffet that got everyone talking - the chocolate buffet at fullerton. It had, like the pictures on the web have shown, a rather paltry selection of desserts, disappointingly. But what they lacked in quantity, they certainly did make it up in quality. Some of them, at least. Nevertheless, looking back at the pictures, I could literally feel my mouth water again, even though I'm still carrying some of the weight around my waist, heh. Resistance is impossible. :P
This is my favourite picture. It captures the most desserts and looks absolutely tempting. Right at the top you see three types of cake. The far left is mint chocolate cake (ooo, I liked it very much!). The middle cake is fullerton chocolate cake (absolutely a must try! The chocolate is so rich!!). I can't remember the name of the third one on the right, but it tastes almost similar to the fullerton chocolate cake, except a little lighter because it is tempered with a fruity taste on the top (think it's mango). Below it are four rows of desserts. The top row is mandarin orange with chocolate, second row is coconut with chocolate, third row is tiramisu (although it didn't seem to taste like it, heh), and the last one is some cake which I can't remember now. :(
This is the infamous chocolate fountain. It's massive, and upon nearing it, you can actually hear the force of the chocolate rushing down the "terraces" through the loud gurgling sounds of the fountain. When you dip the fruits into it, you can actually feel the force. It's that powerful. There's strawberry (very big ones I must add), pineapple, honeydew, marshmellow and baked puffs.
This is a selection of the types of chocolate you can choose from when you want a hot chocolate. It is arranged from the most bitter to the sweetest, with the most bitter beginning with the chocolate nearest to us. I have a recent fondness for bitter chocolate, and upon the recommendation of the waiter making the hot chocolate, chose the most bitter. It was rich and tantalising, though only when it's hot. It cools down fast, and thickens easily. But a novel experience nevertheless. :)
