Max Brenner

00:26 | Labels: , ,



Originally from Israel and now has gone international, I find Max Brenner serves one of the best chocolate drinks aside from Lindt and Guylian!

 The first Max Brenner chain store that I visited was the one located in the Westfield Shopping Centre at the corner of Pitt Street and Market Street. At that time, I have not the slightest idea about Max Brenner. I only knew that it is just one of those cafes selling chocolate-oriented consumables, similar to Lindt or Guylian. As a chocoholic, of course I knew I couldn't miss the chance to visit the place! And what do you know? I have not the slightest regret for coming there!
Unlike Tom n Toms, I realized Max Brenner's ambiance and lighting  are a lot darker. Not that I have anything against dark places, but I do prefer somewhere with a bit more light. Still, that doesn't seem to be a problem for fellow chocoholic customers to visit the cafe and enjoy their cup of hot chocolates, especially when it is cold and windy outside! However, it might not be a good idea for anyone interested to read their favorite novels while enjoying their cup of chocolates in the store's premises due to the rather dark store lighting.


Also, just like most cafes and chocolate shops, customers are expected to make their chocolate orders from the counter. It is also the place where all assortments of other sweets are being displayed behind the glass case. Some of these sweets includes cookies and several cakes. Hopefully the customers are willing to buy some of these sweets to accompany their flavorful chocolate drinking experience!
My choice of drink was their Hot Dark Chocolate drink, as suggested by one of my companies. If you do a bit of research, apparently dark chocolates are much healthier than any other types of chocolates as it doesn't contain that much sugar. It was a bit of  a challenge for me to order it at first, remembering how much of a sweet tooth I am, but I've decided to give it a try. That was when I realized that was the best decision I've ever made that night.

 As a sweet tooth, a have a big fear towards bitter consumables. I have to admit, my first impression when hearing the name of the Hot Dark Chocolate drink was: extremely bitter chocolate drink that I'll ever tasted in my whole life. However, I ended up having a very pleasant surprise instead. The beverage was unexpectedly balanced in flavor: not to sweet, not too bitter, and not too creamy despite the look.  The temperature of the drink isn't that hot either, unlike usual hot beverages. It was served in a right temperature for their customer to immediately enjoy the drink as soon as it arrived on the customer's table. The drink was also served in a unique mug called 'Hugmug', in which customers can place both palms of their hands on both sides of the mug in order for them to feel the warmth of the drink while sipping it slowly down their throats. Considering how windy and chilly the night time could be, I find the Hugmug is one of the greatest inventions for any beverage shop!

 I would love to try other menus as well, but since we were a bit in a hurry, I was only able to taste the deliciousness of the Dark Chocolate drink. I would definitely come back to Max Brenner for more though!
