For obvious reasons, if I were writing this on the actual day, I wouldn't post this entry on the actual day.

Anyway!

In order to celebrate 2 occasions, I bought 2 keikku: 1 for Squishy's birthday, and 1 for me and my flatmate to celebrate end of term, new apartment, and getting through this dark week. What better than to buy Awfully Chocolate?

I first tasted this cake some time in 2008 back in Shanghai when a friend of mine took me out for dinner and told me, as we passed by the store (that's on the same street as I was living at the time), that it carried the best chocolate cake ever. Well, I didn't eat it on the spot, but when the opportunity arose in the form of somebody's housewarming, I decided to buy it as a gift.

Oh. My. Wonderous. Tastebuds. OISHII!

I can't rave enough about this cake. It's the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten: rich dark chocolate that isn't too sweet, it's moist enough, slightly spongy, and it sort of gives this creaminess in your mouth as you eat it. Ever since, I bought this cake (or maybe some variation of it from the store) twice more there, and again over here. This totals to around...patronizing the brand 4 times already, which is quite a lot on my terms. The funny thing is, you don't know what the store sells unless you ask. And I can't buy their cakes in slices, because they don't sell them in slices. Meanies.

Oh, and for a spot of Japanese lesson:
チョコレートケーキ is pronounced as "chokoreeto keeki". But I like "keikku". AHAHAHA.

Best. Chocolate. Cake. Ever. All thanks to Awfully Chocolate for creating the perfect chocolate cake.
