Chocolate Is My Kryptonite

I did say that cakes are not as enjoyable to me as they were before I abstained from the sweet and carby stuff. BUT. There is a but.

I was still thinking of the Mocha Cake. I mean, I want to taste it. I was curious. So.

One afternoon, in spite of Red Kettle being crowded (as usual) I braved the discomfort of sitting at their raised section (which I dislike) just to taste the cake that was haunting me.

Sitting at this part of the restaurant is like sitting on a podium facing an audience hah...hah...hah....

Mocha Cake punya pasal I paksa rela to endure the discomfort.

I also got me a Carrot Cake. Just because.

I ate the Carrot Cake first. It was all right. I mean how exciting can a Carrot Cake be? I will say it was a nice cake. Not too sweet, even the frosting was not too sweet.

As for the piece de resistance, my tastebuds went Ding! Ding! Ding! This Mocha Cake I tell you is da bomb! It was so good and God bless me, carnivore that I am, this cake made me fall from grace. I think it's the chocolate. I am still addicted to chocolate.

Complemented with this excellent cup of Flat White, ahhhhh....... Well, I am being honest about it. I enjoyed the Mocha Cake and this cake brings back the memories of what cakes do to me.

And this is what addiction does. You want more.

Again. Mocha Cake. And another chocolate cake - the Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake. cham liao!

This Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cake was unfortunately, dry. Maybe it was on the cake stand for too long but still it was a good chocolate cake. If only it was more moist, it would have been wonderful. The salted caramel topping was not too sweet, just nice.

This is my favorite lah. Just as good as the first time. If I allow myself a cake every now and then, this will be the one. 

So that's it. Time out! No more cakes at least not for the next couple of months. My curiosity about the Mocha Cake satisfied, I rest my case and I cannot and must not feed this addiction.

Oh ya, I failed to mention. In my previous post that the evening after consuming the cakes, I had legs cramps in the middle of the night. Same thing happened on my second cake indulgence.

And on my final visit, the leg cramp happened very soon after I left the restaurant. So sugar triggers my leg cramps and that should be a deterrent to me not to give in to such an indulgence too often.
