a chocoholic's dream



We had brunch at the Oriental last Sunday and their dessert buffet was so sinful! I couldn't resist - I had temporary selective diet amnesia so I tried their dark chocolate mousse and absolutely had to try the chocolate fountain. The chocolate mousse was perfectly bittersweet and addicting - a rarity here in Bangkok. The chocolate fountain, on the other hand, proved to be better appreciated from a distance because *sigh* the Thais being Thais, they had to ruin the whole experience by pairing off chocolate with watermelon, pineapple, and melon.

What is it with these nutty people - we've tried the chocolate founde at Cafe Swiss and they combined the same fruits, even worse because Cafe Swiss had papaya! The only good thing about the chocolate fountain was the chocolate itself. Hmph! Someone please tell these restos that marshmallows, bananas, and apples will work just fine!
