I Had Brownies For Lunch. So What?

Why not? hee..hee..hee... It all started when the air conditioner in my office malfunctioned. Drat! It was blowing hot air. So we called in the technician. As it turned out, something in the compressor needed to be replaced. 

It was difficult to work in the heat, what with the technician tinkering around in my room. I was hungry (it was lunch time). Even though I packed my lunch from home, I didn't want to eat while the guy was there.

So I decided to go out to run some banking errands. Then my mind turned to Molten Chocolate Cafe.....

Molten Chocolate calling a calling....

Then I thought about my lunch....oh what the heck. I went to the bank first and I saw something amusing above the cheque deposit machine.

Okie. I will happily go to the counter when I receive a RM10 million cheque.

Then it was off to Molten Chocolate Cafe. I passed by last month to look at the menu. So this visit was actually premeditated.

I guess it's the place to come to with family and friends to share a dessert or two over coffee or milkshakes. I wonder if a cafe like this which is so specialized can survive. I don't know. I have seen may eateries come and go in Damansara Uptown.

After browsing the menu, I settled for the Caramel Frappuccino and Brownies on Sizzling Hot Plate.

While waiting, I surveyed the interior. I like the lights.

They were like diamonds in the sky.

But not the furniture. The chairs are kind of bulky. Looks old fashioned to me.

I would prefer something sleek without restraining arm rests. It looks quite cluttered.

And one more thing. The chairs are slim fit. Very slim fit.

This chair is not for us fatties.

What if a customer with a more than generous girth walks in? That chair fitted me quite snugly. I had to be careful to make sure it didn't stick to my butt when I stood up.

I looked around to see if there was any other type of seating. No, all the chairs are like that. But there is a banquette seating, at the inner part of the cafe, so no worries. Members of my clan, please take note.

Ah, my drink. Very nice and very sweet. Too sweet for me.

I usually don't go for such drinks but I made an exception that day. If I was going to have a brownie, I might as well go for the kill.

Now these guys meant it when they said sizzling. Look.

You see the bubbles? Hot and boiling. So be careful when this is served. 

A hot brownie with vanilla ice cream on top and some marshmallows swimming in the chocolate lava. And two strawberry halves. Ain't it a beauty.

The brownie was hot and gooey. Eaten with the ice cream, the hot and cold combination was so contrasting. I have sensitive teeth and the experience was both pleasure and pain. Time to use that special toothpaste.

This is pure indulgence I tell you. I was on a chocolate high. Wait. There's something underneath the brownie.

Some kind of fruit. I think it was a thin slice of pineapple. Banana would have been better. 

All done, my tummy fully satisfied. I was in heaven until the bill came.

A piece of happiness indeed! The Brownies at RM26.00 is quite reasonable. I mean, they use good quality chocolate and you tell me, are we going to make this at home? No. No, no. Too much hassle. So we pay a price to eat this.

As for the frappuccino, we know that beverages have the highest margin. Since I am not really into sweet drinks, I will skip in future. Must find out if they serve water.

Yes, I'll be back. I'll bring my brother along and we will take the banquette sitting, thank you.

P.S. To Mun, who will ask the question "What happened to your packed lunch?" Answer : I took it home for dinner.
