Chocolate Fire is a Wonderland of Chocolates!

Chocolate Fire is something that I have heard of so many times already but have not visited yet. So when opportunity presented itself, I readily agreed. No questions asked. =)

Upon reaching its vicinity, from the outside, it was a pretty unassuming place. That was good. When you get inside, a relaxing vibe envelopes you and makes you order right away. That's what we did.
WELCOME! 
From their brochure, it said "Enter a world of creativity..Chocolate Fire offers a delicious, vibrant & extensive selection of Belgian chocolates with the finest ingredients from around the world, and all hand-made, with no added chemicals, preservatives or additives. Enjoy some of the finest chocolate the world has to offer, in a vast array of styles (over 70 on display each day), as well as choose from a healthy & scrumptiously fresh selection of savoury dishes..it's an endless world of creativity at Chocolate Fire!"

That being said, I agree. Why? Just take a look at what we had. 

Greek Salad (P250.00 for full order). Refreshing salad consisting of cucumber, tomato, Greek Feta cheese, Kalamata olives (Are large, deep-purple olives from the Kalamata region of Greece), onions & lemon herb dressing. The serving, considered that this was already a full order, was so small. We thought it would be enough for 3, but no, we were wrong. Good thing we enjoyed our small serving. The cucumber was crunchy, tomato provided the sourness, just a little bit, the feta cheese got the saltiness part and the Kalamata olives was something new to my palate and it was great. 
Pesto pasta (P300.00). Basil, pine nuts and garlic, the staple of pesto pastas. Nothing extraordinary but it was good. 
The Mortadella sandwich (P280.00). It has Mortadella cold cut sausage, emmenthal, mozarella, fresh basil, sliced olives, undried tomatoes & romaine lettuce. Quite a lot, right? But it all boils down to a great-tasting sandwich with a crunch. There's a wide array of flavors that compliments each other. 
Brown Cow Moo Moo Float (P180.00). Key ingredients are  Coke, Ice Cream & Belgian dark chocolate.  At first sip,  it just tasted like Jollibe or McDo's Coke Float (that I really love) so I thought that my money was wasted on this one but since it's already there, I will try to enjoy its copycat-ness. Haha! But when I almost reached the bottom part of my glass, I tasted the Begian chocolate and that's where it made a whole lot of difference. Rich & thick choco that gives a burst of 'ooomph' to an otherwise simple drink. 
Photo op first! =)
Strawberry Ganache Cake. This is heaven! Loved it so much! The strawberry ganache was a perfect mix with the moist cake. Not overly sweet, just right. Creamy and silky texture. Like what I've said, it was perfect! This is something that I see myself ordering repeatedly in the future. 
Our other choices. Chocolate-dipped Bacon (P150.00/50g), Pringles, in this case, Pringle dipped in, again, chocolate (P15.00/pc). The Pringle was awesome, milk chocolate is one that I usually prefer and once you take a bite out of this treat, you will crave for more! That's for sure. And it looks so pretty to eat too! 
The Chocolate-dipped Bacon was a revelation! It was fully dipped in dark chocolate, though the bacon was a bit tough, its saltiness and the bitter sweetness of the chocolate is a great combo! Balance is set. A must-try!
My pre-birthday chocolate! A surprise given to me by my friends. I really appreciated  it! Sniff, sniff. =)
I took this home and got it refrigerated and I ate it the next day. Boy, it was good! Look simple but it was very rich in taste. 

Some of Chocolate Fire's pricey yet wonderful chocolate choices. 
Pick any that piques your interest. =)
Lovely strawberries dipped in rich chocolate, all made with  'love'
Can't pick one? Pick all! =)
The various chocolate barks. So many to choose from!
Overall, their food and chocolates are a bit pricey but then, you can be sure of the quality of their food. No doubt about that. Chocolate Fire delivers what we are looking for, world-class quality of chocolates. The ambiance is cozy and private. This is a place where you can meet with friends, family/relatives or just a quiet moment on your own.

I will be visit this place again, that's for sure! =)

    1. Yes, saving up is good because their desserts are a bit pricey but delicious! No doubt.

      And they actually do not allow the customers to take photos of their chocolates on display. It's a no-no, but we did not know that so we got some photos from the display case =)

    1. Thank you! Yes, choco and bacon that tasted so good. The pringles was quite good. Maintaining its crispiness while on one end,the milk chocolate compliments the saltiness. Ill have that US strawberry next time around. =)
