Chocolate Bliss

Happy long weekend everyone!

After Miss A's birthday dinner we decided  to have dessert locally. We chose to try the 'Chocolate Bliss' out, a few hundred meters down the road from Sitney Thai. It's only been open for a few months and if you read my previous blog on 'The Chocolate Room', this dessert place has now taken over. It shows how hard it is to operate a business and these places do come and go just like that, so do support the one's you like.

The menu offerings at the 'Chocolate Bliss' are very much similar to what is available at the franchise that previously occupied the space, 'The Chocolate Room'. They still have the waffles, Dutch mini pancakes and a variety of chocolate flavoured drinks.

Despite being so full from dinner, we still continued on and ordered two desserts to share.

 

The 'Waffles with Ice-cream ($13.00)' is a delicious set of two Belgian waffles freshly made in house, served with strawberries, bananas and vanilla ice-cream. It is a rarity that waffles are made fresh in store and here they put in that effort and you can actually taste it.  Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Their signature dish, so it's a must try! Did you notice the size of the ice-cream scoop? Huge!

'Chocolate Souffle with Ice-cream($12.50)' was equally delicious. Rich, dark chocolate oozing from the centre of a moist chocolate cake. A moment I forgot to capture unfortunately. Absolutely spot on. A bit heavy for one, but great shared with others.

I also had a 'Cappuccino ($3.50)' and ain't the coffee art so pretty. That extra biscuit on the side was a nice touch. I bought these mini biscuits from the Easter Show a few years' ago and they were so scrumptious. They didn't stock it at any shops and I really did miss these.

I actually prefer 'Chocolate Bliss' over 'The Chocolate Room'. The ingredients are fresh and they were really generous with their sides, especially the scoops of ice-cream. Just thinking about it is making me drool.

Passionflower - Haymarket - Sydney, Australia

Passionflower

Dessert is always a must have after a meal even though everyone may be full to their brinks. This was no exception after the meal at Encasa. We were all very full from the dinner and decided we would walk around the Chinese New Year markets in Belmore Park before deciding on a place to have dessert. The only place we could think of that was within walking distance was Passionflower, located within Capitol Theatre in Haymarket.

Passionflower have been known for their exotic Asian icecreams and desserts. They have a lot of unusal flavours you don't see at the normal gelato stores that will test your taste buds. These include such flavours like durian, jackfruit, black sesame, pandan and sticky rice.

The menu seemed endless and I couldn't decide on what I wanted whereas my cousins already knew what they wanted before they even went in. It took me a while before I made my order. The pictures just looked so delectable and I wanted to try every single one literally.






I had 'Three Crepes with Maple Syrup and Two Flavours of Ice-cream ($13.00+$1.00 for premium flavours)'. The crepes were paper thin and matched well with my two ice-cream choices of pandan and black sesame. The maple syrup was a great addition but it wasn't necessary. A very satisfying dish which I struggled to finish on my own.






My cousins had 'Strawberry Waffles with Chocolate Sauce ($13.80)'. The serving of strawberries was really generous and they seemed to enjoy their dish very much, judging by their clean plates.

It was then off to the claw machines upstairs. Who can resist those ching ching noises from above calling us with those cute soft toys.

A great place for a catch up that won't be too heavy on your wallet.
