Mad About CoCo

Mad About Coco, from a first glance, seemed like a really quirky, happy, and playful place that serves unique and tantalizing chocolate based desserts. My sister and I were instantly attracted to it. I mean, there was this huge posh dog in an afro and sunglasses, and the copywriter who gave this shop its name deserves a standing ovation. Mad About Coco is a very, very attractive name, especially to ladies. So we went in, sat down, looked around in awe at how cutely decorated the place was, opened up the striking pink menu, and I laughed. I laughed for two reasons. Firstly, the names of the desserts on the menu was quirky alright, and too fancy to handle. Take ‘Coco Skinny Dip’ for instance. Secondly, for desserts, everything was above budget. We decided to just give it a go because we were already seated. After contemplating for a really long time, we decided to share the ‘Innocent Devil Tiramisu Ball’. Right. What it is, is a small Tiramisu cube inside a ball of chocolate with melted chocolate at the side. What we had to do was to pour the melted chocolate onto the chocolate ball and the ball will melt, revealing the miserable Tiramisu cube that could be eaten in two bites. The chocolate tasted good, but overpowering. Nothing special though but we scrapped off every bit of chocolate because we paid a lot for it. The place is beautiful inside, and definitely worthy for picture taking. Other than that, I think Mad About Coco is highly overrated and overpriced.
