Being late December, it was no surprise to see Christmas Trees decorating the airports of Delhi and Chennai. But I should have known the large candy sticks at the exit of Chennai Airport were more than just festive decorations – they were a sign of things to come!
We ate out almost everyday. And for every meal there was dessert! Adirsam, Mysore pak, Jangiri, Badusha, Kesari and many types of Payasams accompanied the traditional meals. We tried out the local soan papdi sold by a street vendor in Mylapore. And ice cream at the beach was a must.
One particular day, we had a double doze of chocolate. One of the desserts was a sizzling brownie, topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, at Haven Sampoorna. The other was ‘Death by chocolate’ at Tangerine.
It was hard to resist the temptation to dig into these beauties. And after eating, I couldn’t help but wish for more! There never really can be enough of chocolate, can there? 😉

Have you tried Mole? There should be an accent on the e. It is a Mexican sauce that contains, among many wonderful things, chocolate. Every town and every one has a slightly different mole. We have ours with chicken on rice. Learning new ways to eat chocolate is priceless. 🙂

I haven’t heard of it. But I’ll keep an eye out for it. I am a vegetarian though… so I’ll probably have mine differently too 🙂 thank you for the recommendation. And for commenting! 🙂
