The famous KoKo Black
Melbourne is a place full of culture, food and entertainment. It is similar to Singapore in the sense that there is ALWAYS food around. A great variety, in fact. Just that the prices are not as affordable as back home. An average meal here cost like A$7? When I first came, I felt like such a spendthrift whenever I look at the price menu. It affected me so much I didn't get to enjoy my food as much as I should have.

But as the saying goes, 'In Rome, do what the Romans do". I can't possibly indulge in bread and peanut butter and miss out on all the nice cuisines out there waving at me right? So I thought to myself, $ can always be earned back, but I cannot say the same for experiences!

So here I am, upon the recommendation of a departing secondee who is bound to return to PwC Singapore to slog his bond out, Daryl Wang, and my famous housemate, Hot Babe, we headed down to this sinful dessert hangout, KoKo Black. Apparently, I should not even mention that I have been to Melbourne if I have not been here, or so they say.



This is the famous hot chocolate. Look at that nice decoration! Ha, how can you bear to drink it? But who cares? I will smash its beauty and glup it down in seconds! :D



Awww, and this dessert...Ha, it's nice, but too sweet for my liking. The ambience is nice though it is a tad too small. Apparently, there was like a long queue outside waiting to get in when we were leaving. And mind you, it was a weekday night. Apparently, not everything closes after 530pm in Melbourne. At least the restaurants and cafes don't. And I guess, perhaps it is good enough?

Hmmm, when I was there, my only thought was, if only Mr Low can take chocolate and not get migraine, how nice if I can bring him here. Haha, but nevermind, I will ask him to try it out and suffer migraine! Keke, after all, you only live once! ;D
