hope im not being rude for answering that question in her absence. yes, it is in greenbelt 3. global cafe by super store boasts of a solid chocolate cake. it was intended to be a place for global cuisine with a very diverse theme of dishes from different countries, but due to unseen circumstances became overwhelmingly popular for its chocolate lava cake. it is a flouless choco cake turned upside down to resemble a dome with what seems to me tastes like belgian chocolate. i regularly have nosebleeds with too much chocolate but this dessert was too much a temptation to resist.

 

if memory serves me right... this costs under 200 apiece.

the theobroma belgian chocolate cake is the absolute best chocolate cake i've ever tried. i know i've raved about a few on this thread a few posts back.. but i'm serious. this particular cake is absolutely orgasmic.

 

thing is, theobroma doesn't have outlets anymore. they do the rounds of bazaars. best to catch them before it's too late, i say. highly, extremely, absobloominutely recommended!!!
