Death by Chocolate

This is the 4th dessert for my 30 days dessert project. This time I was told by a friend that I should try Death by Chocolate from Riders Cafe. She dared me and said that I will hate chocolates for a week. Challenge accepted!

I did some Google-ing to see if the dessert was really that deadly, like how it's named. The pictures I found looked the same as when I ordered it and it does look deadly.

Riders Cafe is far when you have to walk from the nearest bus stop which takes you about 20 minutes to reach. If you have a vehicle, it's so much more convenient to get there.

Once you see horses in their stables on your right, you're just a few seconds from the cafe. The cafe looks like a kampong house in my opinion. It has those windows and the stairs just like a kampong house would have! However you see it, it is a beautiful building.

As my friend and I sat at the balcony side, there was a nice view overlooking some stables maybe and some greens. I love the atmosphere of the cafe. Good place to have your lunch and a wonderful place to bring your date.

I wasn't there to enjoy the atmosphere but to try the Death by Chocolate! We were served with some plain water and I requested mine to be warm. As the waitress took our orders and left, we chatted about some random stuff(not important haha). My friend ordered Strawberry Mess, you know what I ordered and we ordered fries to share.

Her order and the fries came first. A few minutes later, my Death by Chocolate came. It looked awesome. It's an overflow of chocolate fudge poured over a slice of chocolate cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream at one corner. I scooped some fudge and put it in my mouth. It was delicious. Then I scooped some more fudge with the cake and ate it. The cake was as warm as the fudge and it has a nice texture to it. It has soft parts and some almost crunchy areas. It was really good.

The fudge was warm and that made me want to scoop the ice cream up. Like I said on the post about WaveHouse's Lava Cake, it is just a vanilla ice cream. But it's function is similar.It gives your mouth some fresh taste and the coolness of the ice cream really helps to balance the warm fudge and the cake. After a while, I finished it. I felt good. My friend was so surprised that I actually finished it!

As we munched on the fries, we saw some horses from where we were seated. A relaxing view after a nice meal. I never tried the Strawberry Mess my friend ordered. I was too busy eating the dessert that would have killed me.

It was a dessert worthy of it's name. The waiter that was clearing the table seemed surprised that I finished Death by Chocolate. I suppose that not many survived. I felt good.

I really enjoyed eating Death by Chocolate but I cannot have it anytime soon. Maybe after I finished this project? I dare you to try. Here's a tip: go there hungry and eat that as your main course. Then decide on a dessert. Hope you survive (:
