Finding chocolate where it lurks…
If you’re in Melbourne, you should get to N2 Extreme Gelato before the weather warms up and you have to queue. Current flavours include Milo Mofo with a shot of chocolate goo to syringe into your Milo treat. Great fun to watch your ice-cream being solidified in front of you. There’s lots of good food in Brunswick St, so you should make a night of it.
If you’ve had a healthy yet delicious salad with barbecued chicken/haloumi lunch at the Savage Salads stand in Broadwick Street in Soho (be prepared to queue), you need to wash all those wholesome vitamins out of your mouth with a good coffee and a better doughnut.
(The Chocolate Truffle ring contains a mousse! The Summer Fruit Crumble is pretty amazing.)
So if you need an upscale chocolate break in London, you could consider trying The Parlour at Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly. Major league Sundaes. Ice-cream sodas.
You need to try a chocolate soda though.
Large glass
1 scoop chocolate ice-cream
chocolate topping
soda water.
Work to taste and watch out for the fizz over
Top: “The Original Dusty Road” – coffee and chocolate ice-cream, butterscotch sauce, chocolate flakes and coffee macarons.
If you are in London, you should try to get to Brick Lane in the East End. It has the last 24 hour Beigel places from the old days, when Brick Lane was Jewish. Seriously delicious salmon bagels! There is assorted mouth-watering Bangladeshi food now, and a lot of funky, arty stuff up the north end of the street. We chocaholics, however, should visit Dark Sugars…
This mocha comes from Said dal 1923 in Broadwick Street in Soho in London. Said is a chain from Rome and you have to commend them for taking their chocolate pretty seriously.
(41 Broadwick Street – not far from Regent Street)
