Dessert Review - O Volcano

Today's blog is going to be about a dessert menu called O Volcano. It costs 129 thb. This menu could be found at Snooze, a dessert shop located in U Center, Sam Yan. It consists of chocolate icecream, chocolate powder, coco crunch, chocolate sauce, and I've also personally requested for brownies to add even more magic to the chocolate combo.

Firstly, I'm going to elaborate the icecream. The texture of it is marvelous. It melts in your mouth perfectly. It is not too creamy or icy, guess that's why they call it "icecream". The savor of chocolate is really rich, not is not too sweet or tasteless. It doesn't taste like it will give you diabetes like you would normally feel when you eat icecream.

Secondly, I really enjoy the addition of the chocolate powder, coco crunch, brownies, and chocolate sauce. It defines the icecream even better. Just imagine yourself eating the icecream along with the crispyness of coco crunch, the taste of hot chocolate from the chocolate powder, the softness and moistness of the brownies, and lastly, the taste of more chocolate from the chocolate sauce, it's paradise.

On the other hand, it would be nice if there were other things besides from chocolate to balance it out. A waffle would be good. Because this dish is quite big and takes quite some time to finish, I eventually got a bit bored of all the chocolates. Just like everything in life, too much of something is never good.

In conclusion, I would give this O Volcano a 9 out of 10. I would highly recommend chocolate lovers to try this, this could be their next favorite dessert. For those who are not too fond of chocolate, this menu is not for you. But I will look for other desserts and write a review about it, so stay tuned!

Food Review - Salmon Chirashi

Today I'm going to write a review about one of my favorite menus ever, salmon chirashi, or salmon don. Salmon chirashi is a type of Japanese food with sushi meshi (sushi rice) in a bowl and salmon sashimi layered on top. I've tried this dish in at least three restaurants, and today I'm going to compare the same menu from three different places, which are Sushi Den, Aoi, and Skip.

In Sushi Den, the salmon chirashi comes with fish o roes (salmon eggs). I think that it's the perfect addition to the salmon sashimi, it completes the whole thing. I personally like mine with a little bit of shoyu (Japanese soy sauce) and wasabi. Imagine the taste of salmon combining perfectly with the small explosion of salmon eggs on your tongue, it's literally paradise in your mouth.

The second restaurant that I'm going to talk about is Aoi. In Aoi, the salmon chirashi also comes with fish o roes but in a smaller amount as those of Sushi Den's. Aoi focuses more on the salmon, it is splendid. As compared to Sushi Den's, it is still arguable but it might not be as fresh.

The final restaurant that I'm going to review about is Skip. Skip is a small shop located inside U-Centre in Sam Yan area. It might not be as well known as Sushi Den and Aoi but it is still quite popular among Chula students. To be honest, I think Skip's salmon chirashi is incomparable to those of the previous two restaurants I've talked about. The salmon isn't fresh, the rice isn't vinegared enough, and there is nothing to accompany the salmon. But considering the price of the menu, it is still acceptable and understandable.

In conclusion, I prefer Sushi Den's salmon chirashi best. It gives the most heavenly taste out of the three. It leaves you longing for more. I highly recommend you to try it, you won't regret. My second favorite is Aoi. It might not be as marvelous Sushi Den's, but it is still pretty good. My least favorite is Skip. I don't think it compliments my taste senses good enough.
