Ode to chocolate

One thing I feel very guilty about is chocolate. Is it normal to have a crazy amount of chocolate constantly at my side? Hm I think so. So today, I'm going to share my love for chocolate through random pictures on my computer. 

Oh and my preference for chocolate is always DARK . My prefer range is around 70% plus. Love fruit in them like raspberry and strawberry and pretty much most berries. (not really blueberry). Fleur de Sel caramel is my  new fav. Ganache, hazelnut are delicious! Favorite brand is Godiva but will eat anything yummy. Another fav is Recchiuti.


Made these strawberry chocolate mochi for my mommy's birthday yesterday and realize I have been paying a whole lot of money for mochi fml. They were so easy to make I feel cheated by Japanese food now. I LOVE Godiva dark chocolate dip strawberries and according to my bf I seem to be happier eating the chocolate than I'll ever be with him. I probably have a picture of those Godiva strawberries somewhere but couldn't find it.


 Chocolate souffle. I am on a roll. Again, realized how much money these French restaurants are earning from me fml. If I can make it and it taste good, I refuse to ever pay for it unless I have some terrible craving and I'm too lazy make it. I made this for my mommy's birthday as well since she loves souffle and it turned out very yummy!


Bf went to Recchiuti without me! :( but came back with their hot chocolate so I guess I can't complain. It's extremely rich even for me but I still love it! I prefer their chocolate like the Fleur de Sel! Sigh I was quite sad bf didn't buy me chocolate. It is not too expensive if I recall and they have all these cool chocolate like wines and tea. Located in SF!!! Probably you can order it online


 I got this at Trader Jo after seeing the world dark chocolate. It was delicious as well

 I wanted to make dark chocolate salted caramel but turns out the recipe I was using was for truffles. Tasted not bad. It was just Ghirardelli chocolate 

Ahhh Christopher Elbow. Their chocolate are crazy expensive but godly beautiful. But very yummy! I want to try their hot chocolates

There was a groupon or living social deal for an online store and made bf buy for me for vday (No shame). Plainly too beautiful to eat. Chocolate was so so because it was a mix of milk white and dark.

I think it was Vday and I also had the bf buy it. AHAHA. Maybe it was Mother's day? I don't remember. @ Paris Baguette, San Jose


Ah Schuberts! One of my fav SF bakeries. This was a blackberry chocolate mousse I think. 

Hello Godiva! Yay! These days I just spend crazy money on their limited edition. It was back few springs ago and The blackberry one was divine!

 I loveee vita soy and I was overjoyed to find dark chocolate in HK. It was gooooood!
Recchiuti again. The lovely hot chocolate with fresh marshmellow and my beloved chocolate. I miss it so much!

Flavored Kit Kat. I love love love dark chocolate kit kats but why AMERICA do you have to make it limited edition? Thank god for Japan. Too bad so damn expensive. Luckily I found an European source AKA Cost Plus World Market. The strawberry is too sweet for me and green tea too but I actually love green tea so I can take the sweetness

Tea room in San Mateo. Had to try their salted caramel dark chocolate.  It was okay but I guess I like dark chocolate salted caramels. Heh

I thought these were so cute! Too bad even more expensive than designer chocolate so all I did was stare. Sf downtown
 More Christopher Elbow. <3
 Unrelated but soooooo cute! Hehe. Android toys that I totally adore. I even started a blog on them but these days too lazy. http://android-365.blogspot.com/
 Mmmm lava cake. I recalled it sucked. I need to try a recipe.
Baby got this for me~ It's great to have a bf who supports my chocolate-ism. God it's good too bad messy to eat


I sadly (or happily) have more pics somewhere but please go out and eat some chocolate!!! Gives you endorphins and make you happy! I seriously justify myself for eating chocolate every time. Especially that time of the month. I get sooo guilty afterwards >.< I think I am more willing to splurge and spend on chocolate. Have you seen the price of Godiva? I use to get a box like every other week and kill it so fast it's not even funny


Moral of the day: EAT CHOCOLATE~
