Cravings & Indulgence



Had a sudden craving to indulge in chocolate cake (for some unknown reason)
Well, there is no Secret Recipe or fancy bakery nearby so I settled for Berry's "American Chocolate" (staying in a rented room in PJ, so went to Berry's in Atria Shopping Centre)

*took a scoop and consumes it*

Wow, it's not as crappy as I thought XD as a matter of fact, for RM 3.90, it's actually quite nice. The cooking chocolate used was of good quality (not buttery like the poor quality ones). What sold me about this cake was the hint of bitterness from dark chocolate icing. It wasn't too bitter, nor was it only sweet, the bitterness was just right. In addition, the dark chocolate emitted a distinct bittersweet fragrance.

One drawback was the white chocolate disc as you can see in the picture above. It was obviously made of lower quality cocoa in addition to loads of butter in it.

I must say though, this slice of Berry's gives an eatery like Secret Recipe a run for its money! 

Philosophy
=========

Humans tend to have indulgences and cravings, but of course it must be suppressed otherwise the demon of greed can consume one easily.

I fell victim to this demon a number of times, and I regret doing so. It not only further caused more complications later, it made me realize and think twice of what I'm actually using my money for.

I crave for a person to be able to hold my hand when I get old. Should I suppress such a feeling and call this being greedy?
