I went for a chocolate buffet on Saturday. It was at The Fullerton, at The Courtyard. I think I will not eat chocolate for a year or something like that. Anyway, it was DIVINE! Mountains of chocolate and absolutely no one to stop me from eating it all! HAHA!
I would post pictures up here, but something's wrong with the hELLO thingy...wait till I get it to work. Moving on, Ritchie and Jun asked me to join them and I really enjoyed myself. There was a chocolate fountain with liquid chocolate raining down in a cascade of brown, sweet goodness. And for those of you who know what I'm talking about, boy, did I ever TASTE the CHOCOLATE! Nutella doesn't even come close, really...not even close.
It cost me S$32 after adding all the text, but it was worth it. It's an interesting experience and one should definitely try it out. I mean, if you have some spare cash floating around, just go and make a reservation. It's cool.
Sweetness is such an overrated thing. The real, and new SWEET, is really BITTER-SWEET. Really! You will never truly know sweetness, until you experience the other tastes. Only then do you truly and completely understand the intricacies of this wonderous thing call out sense of taste.
The chocolate brought back images of happy times, child-like times, innocent times. Memories of my aunt and myself baking in the kitchen of the old Depot Road flat. Then Grandma was still alive and would scream at me if I spilled baking stuff on the kitchen floor. Grandpa would watch us like a hawk to ensure we did not damage his precious kitchen. I would not really bother and enjoyed the experience of beating eggs and letting the smell of baking orange cake and warm melted chocolate waft into my nostrils.
Those were happy, innocent, wonderous times. We should all rediscover that wonder...really. The book Sophie's World calls it "the faculty of wonder". Boy, alot of us in this world really need to rediscover that and what it really means...
Go try a chocolate buffet and see if you can find that faculty again...you just might be surprised...heh
