chocoholics of the world unite!

So this is the post i was warning you guys about.. please make sure you are sitting down when you read this...and maybe have a large bowl-like device handy....because there are some drool-some pics just below:-

so the story is that we were walking along the barri gotic just jalan-ing and looking at the random cool things everywhere in Barcelona [you will not believe the number of pictures of alleyways and near-pointless ephemera i have pictures of], and we decided to have a pre lunch coffee/snack around noon-ish (this is because lunch is typically 1-3pm .....and dinner is from 8pm onwards)

and we though the unassuming little flourescent-lit cafe with the easy going vibe was something ordinary...and it turned out to be super-duper-i-can't-believe-it's-chocolate-holy-shucks-wha-lup-babeh-loobah-wah-lup-pap pap!


Here you see my fellow chocoholic-in-crime, with [clockwise from the left]: Churros, a cup of hot chocolate and my coffee..

More importantly [and stupendously], the chocolate was super thick, and had a hint of orange/ floral accents.....it was like having really good cognac where there are accents of flavour as you taste it!

and this picture clearly illustrates how yummy yummy it was! [sorry for the slightly blur pics; i couldn't wait for my turn to have some lah]...so you dip your churro [deep fried you-tiao like thing] and it is PURE HEAVEN!!!

last but not least....[ok, so this should have been the first pic in the post - but in all honesty, we were so blase about going into this shop, we didn't even see this display facing the tiny lane this hot chocolate shop was in]...they even do creme catalan, flan, hot chocolate with thick whipped cream and brioche!!!!

sugar overload!!

gluggy gluggy super yummy!
