After the Christmas party at DXO, Sheryl0202 and I made our way to Max Brenner Chocolate for some excellent desserts.

Ain’t sure what Sheryl0202 ate but it looked good, anyhow, what I ate was the Roasted Walnut Choco Brownie served with Chocolate sauce and Ice Cream. It was fantastic! Loved it so much that I even finished StrippedSteph’s brownie. (more…)

And with that, it was off to the next venue. Pork noodle time! (more…)

Anyway, the ingredients in this dish is
