After what seemed like forever, I was able to meet up with my good friend Glenn yesterday for the food tasting event at Nasi Lemak in Robinsons Galleria (will post about this soon). As a fellow foodie, Glenn was the one who have encouraged me to put up this food blog. From then on, his unwavering support together with some of our friends never faltered.
Most of the time, when my beat up old Olympus Camera was nowhere to be found inside my bag (well, you see, I only use digital camera for the photos here in my blog), Glenn's baby, a Fuji Camera has always been there to the rescue. And since we have the same eyes for detailed photos, I trust him in taking some of the pictures for my posts especially if there's a lot of food to shoot. (I only have two hands and it really is a tedious task to take photos of 20 dishes without pissing every single hungry person at the table).
Glenn did some of the shoot for my early restaurant review posts such as at Arya, Fish & Co., and Bellini's, while the rest of the photos are taken by me having in mind all the pointers I have learned from him. Basically, he guided me until such time that I can do the shoot on my own. And for that, I am forever grateful.
Another thing that endears me to my friend is his love for Chocolate. It is our common ground. Whenever we are together, we are never without a chocolate in any possible form it has. And since he is migrating to Canada this year, I promised myself that despite our overly dramatic schedule, I will one day spend the entire day with him, over a cup of his favorite coffee and one of my very own favorite chocolate cake by Conti's. A cake that remind me of him.
Conti's Choco Overload Cake is one of the cake that a chocolate lover must not missed. True to its name, it is an overload of chocolate but as the cliche goes, you can never have enough of it.
A delectable layers of Chocolate Brownies, Chocolate Creme, Chocolate Sponge Cake, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Icing, and Drizzle of Chocolate Syrup. Every sinful bite can send you to Chocolate Heaven and back to the comfort of your own chocolatey world. A mini size would cost you 450php while the regular one is 775php.
It is best served chilled with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea (let go of the sweetener, the cake will substitute it for your sweet tooth). Also, it is best shared with special friends, as special as this cake, while reminiscing the past, sharing the present, and looking forward to the promising future.
