Chocolate is Good For You!



Location: Bangalore (Kormangala, Brigade Road, Malleswaram)

Feeling low?
Have something to celebrate?
Feel like pulling all your hair?
Had a bad day?

In any of the scenarios above, the best I can suggest to resolve the situation is to visit is ‘The Chocolate Room’ (tcr). I need not elaborate much here as the name is self explanatory on what the USP of this place is. It's based on an Australian concept; the place is rather new and started operations in India since Oct. 2007. So far it has received good response and now have cafes in several cities across India. They have three in Bangalore itself. Find other locations here. I have been to the Baroda and Bangalore (Kormangala, Brigade Road) outlets and all have consistent quality.
I need not elaborate on how so very good chocolate can be. I’m sure most of you are fans of it already.
So cutting the long story short, I’d like to highlight three things about The Chocolate Room.

1.     The party starts with shots: yess they have chocolate shots! At least I had them first time everrr @tcr. And man they are wonderful. The way to have them is to gulp down the whole of the liquid chocolate in the shot glass they serve … similar to having the tequila shot minus the salt and the lemon ;-). And you are all set to party!


Choco Shots  
     Fill yourself with warmth: they have this interesting looking mug they call the ‘warming mug’. This mug has this little space to keep a lighted candle to keep your beverage hot throughout. Kool stuff right? To fill yourself with warmth is to have their delicious hot chocolate in one of those warming mugs

3.    All in a melting pot: as some of you must be aware, Fondue is a swiss dish of melted cheese served in a pot over a lamp to keep it warm and eaten by dipping long-stemmed forks with bread into the cheese. Drooling over some lucky host of a travel show, having Fondue in Switzerland … I jumped at the opportunity of having one right here in India. In my opinion, it was phenomenal. I had the cheese fondue served with four varieties of sides (French fries, breadsticks, potato wedges and cheese balls). Great news is that they also serve Chocolate Fondue. Yess! Served with seasonal fruits and marshmallows, its Heaven for chocolate lovers!!!
Cheese Fondue @ tcr
Apart from this, their menu is pretty spectacular ranging from baguettes, crepes, pancakes, waffles, pizzas, wraps, salads, croques and paninos.
Beverages include choc tails, choc shakes, chillers, mocktails, frapes, coffee ….
Arrgh … Stop drroooling … Go visit …. 

Warming Mug ... You can purchase this @tcr
