Chocolate Fondue At Sweet Sensation Cafe
I drove past this restaurant quite a number of times and whenever I look into the shop, there’s nobody inside. If it’s a cafe, why there weren’t any singers inside? If it’s a restaurant, is the food so bad that 8 out of 10 times, there is no customer inside? Well, I don’t have any idea what the shop is selling and nobody informs me about its’ specialty until someone sent me a link from a Chinese forum stating that this cafe sells something called chocolate fondue.
Hence, I decided to try it out since I was in town for work the other day.
Minimum interior design. Ambiance is so-so. A little bit pack and noisy if there are more customers. Usually, I don’t really give a hoot about the shop’s appearance but this shop is going to need some reminder. For a shop of that size, there’s only 1 air conditioner. -sweat- The air conditioner wasn’t really working too, making the whole shop kind of stuffy and hot. Not to mention, smoking is allowed and makes the already stuffy shop even stuffier.
Since I went to work in Equatorial Hotel and had an 8 course meal dinner before this, I decided to order the chocolate fondue and a glass of soya bean with glass jelly. My friend ordered a glass of orange juice. The drinks tasted a little plain and not cold enough for my liking but it’s still OK.
The chocolate steamboat consisted of a plate of assorted fruits such as watermelons, honeydews, canned pineapples, kiwis and bananas.
A small bowl of hugely chopped peanuts.
3 scoops of ice cream.
And a cute little monster to accompany you while you dine in.
Nolah, it’s a small little bowl filled with sweet and thick cooking chocolate with a small fire underneath to keep it warm.
A set of chocolate fundae, cost RM10.80.
No need to teach you how to eat gua.
Overall, it tasted quite good. My friend and I enjoyed the supper a lot, something simple, light and yet sinful. I think they used cooking chocolate, hence, the sweetness is just nice. However, there are lots of places to improve.
1) Fix at least 2 or more air conditioners.
Freaking warm and stuffy inside.
2) Be more generous with the chocolate sauce.
Mana cukup?
3) Chop the peanuts a few more times.
The peanuts are just too big lah!
4) Can we have more varieties of fruits or let us select our own combinations?
I am not fond of banana and pineapple.
Overall, its worth visiting. Not to mention, they are the ONLY cafe that serves chocolate fondue in Malacca. It’s kind of pathetic if you are to compare with KL’s, but then, it’s Malacca. You can get much better chocolate fondue in KL like Chocz at KLCC or at Haagen Daaz, according to Purplerose.
If they want me to sit longer, they need to fix the new air conditioner first. Might be a nice place to hang out since there were quite a lot of people in the cafe after 10PM. The price is overall reasonable, and fared much better than the overrated Wingz Cafe or Xuan Cafe. However, I still need the air conditioner.
So, when do you (Ah Yong) want to bring your wife here? You are the one who asked me to check it out.

Mmm… the whole idea sounds somewhat weirdoo… but might worth a try too uh… :-)

i’m sorry but i must say this is the most pathetic chocolate fondue i’ve ever seen. they’re using the aromatherapy oil burner to fill the chocolate rather than those specially used for a fondue session! anyway, try chocz in klcc if you are a chocolate fondue lover. you’ll never regret. or at least the one fron Haagan Daaz ;)

Allison : Its not something new actually, just that Malacca is kinda slow picking up new stuffs originated from KL.
Purplerose : Yes, I got to admit its kinda pathetic too as they didn’t use those special equipments for chocolate fondue. There’s one stall in Malacca that uses the equipment though. However, being the ONLY cafe to serve chocolate fondue in Malacca, they are different. Haihz, trust me, I would die to try the real fondue when I am in KL next time.

Cely : You can add hot water into the chocolate one what. :P I doubt they will get those machines for chocolate fondue because the customers who order this are not many, they might end up rugi-ing. Hehe.
Steve : I call you to purposely “xia” you one. :P I think you can ask for extra chocolate sauce.
Boss Stewie : Cheese?!?! Its going to be very gross.
Michelleg : Melaka Raya, near Bonami.

Never add water to chocolate, it becomes hard! The fondue set is pretty sad, think they shld have invested in those ones sold in Ikea instead.

Cockroach : Haha, but you still come to my blog. LOL. Never mind, later go supermarket and buy chocolate for yourself. Haha!
Cely : A pot of cheese, eeeyerrrr…
Boo_licious : Yeah, pretty sad. But if they are not a full fledge chocolate fondue shop but a cafe. So, to them, it’s not really worth spending that extra bucks to get the whole set just for a few minority customers like me. It’s just for the sake of serving chocolate fondue.
Emotionalistic : You fall sick too? I am downed with flu, fever, sore throat and mild diarrhea. :( Sighs.
Che-Cheh : Should give it a try, best eating as snack. ;)
Ta Wen : Come lah come lah. LOL. Everything worth’s a try.

[…] While I was browsing through the menu, an item listed in the last few pages has caught my immediate attention. “Chocolate Fondue! I saw this in Jason’s post” What a coincidence. I thought I’ve found a new place for food, but Jason was there earlier hehe. […]
