34th Diamond: Better ChocoLate than Never


Well I have been updating a lot...


Hello everyone, how are your holidays? Christmas is just right around the corner!
I am soo excited for the new years! There's gonna be lots of fireworks!! 
I have also made several changes to the blog. There are no more "Call it a diamond" or "writingdiamonds" stuff on the address or the title, but I will still keep the post titles as diamonds. Don't know why but I just like the concept. As for the title, I changed it because I think it needs something like a "signature"-ish feeling. So I changed it to that. 

Today's post will be another food review!!
Well the book is still in progress and I have been going out to eat a lot so, why not. The place I'll be reviewing today is one of the shops at Senopati, Jakarta. If anybody's wondering where Senopati is, it's the road where Collette & Lola is. That road has A LOT of cafes and fancy restaurants. The place is called Better ChocoLate than Never. It used to be called Awfully Chocolate which was a franchise from Singapore if I wasn't mistaken, but then it closed down and changed to that. 


The menu was all basically chocolate. It's the perfect place for chocolate lovers! It didn't really have that much difference with Awfully Chocolate. I thought they only changed the name, but they said they also changed the management, so I guess it's a different company then?? Not sure...

We ordered the blackforest baby cake and rich chocolate ice cream! The blackforest baby cake contains rum and it costs around 30k, I didn't keep the bill, please excuse me if the price is wrong. And the rich chocolate ice cream costs around that as well.   

The rich chocolate ice cream was my favorite! The chocolate is just abundant and it's definitely different than other chocolate ice creams. I LOVE IT. The cake on the other hand was just okay for me. It's chocolatey, and it's nice, and I don't mind eating it again, but it's just okay. Perhaps a little bit more rum?? Hehehe. 

Overall, I think it's a really nice place to spend time in when you're craving for chocolate. It's the perfect chocolate cafe. The interior was also nice since they keep things plain and simple. 

OH, and I almost forgot. They have log cakes for sale! Christmas is just not the same without log cakes!! If you're interested, then just visit their website betterchocolatethannever.com and look around their menu and promotions. Psst, there's a Christmas promotion!

I really wouldn't mind going there once in a while and just buy one whole chocolate cake and bring it home. A good doze of chocolate won't kill anyone right? ;)

As for the book I am currently reading, I am pretty sure it will be done in a few days. It's my first chick-lit (other than Jane Austen's Emma) and I really enjoy reading it! Dreamy love story and sometimes unrealistic, but it's a GOOD BOOK.Thank you for reading and I'll see you in my next post!



Sincerely yours,

Alicia. V
