I hereby present Coffee Club’s Mud Pie. Yes, it doesn’t look like the conventional brownie-esque desert, and also, looks more of an oil spill than a mud bath. A luscious oil spill at that.
As of habit, i blog about a particular restaurant/cafe’s food only after multiple visits.
Personally, i’m not a very big fan of chocolate sauce – i’d rather get my own fondue and empty it all over the darn cake. Chocolate sauce is an oxymoron, at least to me. Chocolate is not meant to be a thin synthetic lubricant; it has to delight and comfort and uplift in its Holy Thickness.
But in this case, the sauce was saved by a generous topping of what seemed to be oreo-like crumbs powder. And my mum was right to get them to add more sauce. Food in spartan quantities is never a happy affair.
Under that generous topping were two layers of ice cream cake that were simply heaven when combined. And all that on a thin but gooey brownie base. However, each costituent layer didn’t seem all that delicious, but the gestalt whole (sauce, ice cream , and all), was quite a decent proposition, especially with that powder naughtily grinding itself on your hard palate.
But, but, like my vauge writing, there’s something missing to this mud pie. I’ve absolutely no idea what to make out of it. It’s neither delicious like a properly done sorbet or heartening like a chocolate fondue. It’s good no doubt, but it doesn’t thrill my soul. It doesn’t call me out for a second date.
I’d give it a 3.5/5 stars, for it’s decent, but i’ve no idea what to make out of it. And besides, i wouldn’t dare have it more than once a month. If it’s your first time, i’d say, ok, try it. But if it isn’t, you should have bloody made up your mind about it already ;)
