Chocolate Passion @ Level 6, Gurney Paragon: Tea Break with Spanish Churros

Recently, it so happened that we wanted to have only tea break, and so we suggested to try at the Chocolate Passion!


The menu
Before dropping by for a tea break or dessert, next to Chocolate Passion, there is a place called Penang on 6, housing small boutique clothing  & accessories shops like in a street bazaar.
The wallpapers placed on walls feature heritage buildings such as the traditional Chinese houses, like the one at my background in the picture.
There is a rocking wooden chair placed for the kids or for the grown-up adults (like me!! haha~ wtf~) to have their photo snapping session. 

It's a dine-in shop which only sells dessert and chocolates for the choco lovers to stop by to have their tea breaks. :D
At the time we went for our tea break, it was around 5-ish and it was so crowded with family members, lovers and teenagers~ Luckily, we managed to get a place to sit just in front of the counter! ;)


Part of the counter area
The dessert place is quite spacious, located at the corner lot of the Gurney Paragon building. They even have chairs & tables placed on the balcony area at open air. The view is overlooking the Penang sea, part of the Straits of Malacca. If the weather was cooling enough, it should be a nice view, romantic place for the lovey-doveys! ;)

We had our order and payment made at the counter itself for Churros, a glass of Avocado Chocolate Ice Blended and a glass of Iced Lemonade. Tea break what! :P

Only if you're interested with their Cold Beverages.
Smoothies & Choctail Menu
My glass of Avocado Chocolate Ice Blended came roughly after 15 min after the order has been placed. I feel that it was a delicious, nutritional healthy drink!
It was drizzled with slight choco syrup which gave flavour to the tasteless but rich & creamy texture of the blended raw avocado! Surprisingly, it wasn't cloying at all and I find it really yummy! My friend also agreed to the deliciousness of this drink too. *thumbs up*
Some research showed that a high avocado intake would be able to lower your blood cholesterol level. Well, I believe in eating averagely in the daily food intake. Too much of something will eventually become bad or lead to accumulation of toxicity unless your body is in a dire need for nutrition because of suffering from some kind of diseases!  


The overall look of the Avocado Choco Ice Blended
The top part sprayed with white cream and dusted with chocolate powder.

Next came the Iced Lemonade after an approximately of 45 min of waiting on the couch. I had to particularly gave a reminder to the person over at the counter. I think they were out of workers to handle the crowded customers situation. Nothing to shout out about the normal cold beverage. Lemonade of course tasted sourish. I like the sourish taste as I find that it's good to ease my digestion, appetite and probably would do some antibacteria for my body system! :P

Lastly, we were waiting for an hour just for our churros, the Spanish pastry! By the time it was served to us, it was already 7.00pm! It was supposed to be dinner time then~ :/
We almost felt disappointed with this restaurant for the waiting time.
However, the churros served tasted really delicious! Luckily, it didn't disappoint us with the taste. We felt like it was freshly made, right from the oven! The long exterior part tasted a bit crispy and the interior filling tasted chewy with a hint of sweet potato in my opinion. Although, I'm not fully sure what is it made of.
Anyway, churros refer to the Spanish pastry fried doughnut and we are supposed to dip each churro into the liquefy dark chocolate, milk chocolate or white chocolate provided. We chose the white chocolate dip! Ooooooo...mMmmmm...It was a white chocolatey lickin' good affair! LOL~
I always liked to eat white chocolate, especially the ones from Toblerone (the Swiss chocolate brand) and coincidentally, I just discovered that my dining mate loves white chocolate too! So, that's great!

Another angle of the Churros
IMHO, I think their service wasn't up to the normal preferred standard for that day, otherwise, it would really be a good dessert or tea break place for rendezvous with friends, families, lovers and perhaps for those with stress (as chocolate is known to help releasing endorphin into the brain, possible to give an immediate effect of a euphoric rush?)! =)
Therefore, I hope to see their improvement in the near future when I do visit this outlet again~


I end this blog for tonight with this heat map picture.
To Love Me or Not to Love Me?!?~~ haha~
