The Sweet Kiss of Chocolates

November 30, 2010 – My sister, who is a freshman in UP, and I have been planning to try Chocolate Kiss Café which is found in “Bahay ng Alumni” that is very popular among students in UP. Since we both have long break time, my Boyfriend and I went to UP and met up with my sister. We then headed towards Chocolate Kiss and had our lunch there. I must say that their food tastes mediocre.

Devil’s Food Cake – Php70

After having our lunch, we ordered a slice of their specialty Devil’s Food Cake and a serving of Texas Square Sundae. My sister said that the Devil’s Food Cake is popular among most of her classmates, and my boyfriend claimed that it was his favourite when his Mom would take him to Chocolate Kiss. I got curious of what kind of cake is that Devil’s Food Cake but the moment I tasted it, I became a little disappointed since it was not able to keep up to my expectations. The cake was named as such because of the spikes formed by the icing. It is basically a chocolate cake with chocolate filling and an icing. Not only that there is nothing out-of-the-ordinary with this cake, it is also very dry and lacks the chocolate taste. To tell you the truth, I don’t really know why many people admire it.

                        Texas Square Sundae – Php115

Texas Square Sundae is composed of a generous slice of fudgy brownie, stick-o, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and chocolate sauce. The fudgy brownie, as what it was described in the menu, that they used in the Texas Square Sundae was the same mixture with the one used in the Devil’s Food Cake. In short, it was also dry (not a hint of being fudgy) and was not chocolatey, although the ice cream and the chocolate sauce made it a little better.

Chocolate Kiss’ food offerings were not bad but not good as well. They were satisfying and the pricing is somewhat affordable.

 

My Rating:

     Devil’s Food Cake – 5/10

     Texas Square Sundae – 5/10
