Bright eyed and bushy-tailed

The blue-eyed boy is in town for a few days, it being a Monday night and he being a fairly big Freddie Aguilar fan, the final destination of the evening was going to be the Hobbit House (actually this is becoming a fairly regular outing when he's in town!). In need of a quick dinner we headed to Malate, I had an urge to try to Cafe Adriatico, I know, I've been here a year and never been!!

It was a pleasant enough dinner, I was very boring and just had an omelette but it was exactly what was needed, not sure if the Choco-Nut Martini was the ideal accompaniment...but anyway...

The problem came when it was time for dessert, the blue-eyed boy played it safe and had the Chocolate Decadence cake which was excellent, I decided to try something I have long wanted to try but never actually got around to trying - Chocolate Eh, a local hot chocolate drink.

So that's what I ordered, what arrives is a demi tasse of what can only be described as hot, squelchy, very rich and very dark chocolate mousse... it is possible to drink it out the cup but using a teaspoon to scoop it is far better.... I cannot stress enough how good it is...it could become seriously addictive!

However, there is one major drawback. I am not great at sleeping at the best of times...after a cup of what can only be described as pure caffeine, I spent the whole night awake....and not just dozy awake....wide awake....

Now I know why it's usually drunk at breakfast time....
