Theobroma Chocolate Lounge, 1 Utama
Sam Tham, a photographer for Star Publication, was free to meet up with me after her assignments at Serdang. After picking me up at KDU, we headed for 1 Utama for a drink. She suggested we try a new outlet that specializes in chocolate. Immediately, I recalled of this chocolate selling outlet at one corner somewhere near Chilies / escalator to GSC.
Indeed, we ended up in Theobroma Chocolate Lounge.
Originating from Australia, Theobrama Chocolate Lounge made its debut in Malaysia by opening its first outlet in 1 Utama, followed by another outlet in Pavilion KL. As its name suggested, its signature product is nothing else but chocolates.
Looking at the menu, it has a huge range of chocolate filled, chocolate made and with chocolate products for you to choose from, while you chill out with your friends. Of course, you have the chocolate fondue thingy too, served with four different types of fruits to go along with the thick chocolate. As for the drinks, its nothing but chocolate-related.
Sam had Snow White Frappe, basically blended white chocolate with chocolate shavings and powders on top of it. The side of the glasses are “decorated” with thick chocolate as well. She said it was very sweet.
I can’t remember the exact name for my drink, but I reckon it should be Iceberg Lady. It’s chocolate drink with a scoop of vanilla flavoured ice cream in it. After some intensive stirring to melt the ice cream, the chocolate “milk” tasted really creamy and extremely smooth.
It was really good, but it has a huge problem. It was so freaking sweet that one might just get diabetes the moment he stepped out of the outlet. To make things worse, the drink wasn’t cold at all, it was warm. Warm and super sweet, not a very good combination, if you ask me.
We had something to eat. I don’t know what’s it called, but it has a muffin shaped brownie tasted kind of cake, served with four really small strawberries with chocolate poured over it. Lets assume its brownie although it might not be, ok?
The brownie was served warm and it has this fluffy texture which I absolutely adore. My tongue could barely taste anything after drinking my freaking sweet chocolate milk. However, it tasted pretty nice after I dipped some of the brownies into my drink and ate it.
As for the strawberries, they tasted like strawberries. Duh!
While I wouldn’t mind patronizing the outlet again, the sweetness of the drinks is something that I don’t like or look forward to. A really huge glass of cold water might solve the problem but your appetite for the day might just go down the drain after that. I felt really bloated and my tongue was kind of numb after I left the place.
The place itself is really nice to sit down and talk some craps with your friends over a good cup of coffee or chocolate. Generally, it was still a pleasant experience in Theobroma Chocolate Lounge.
Hop over to KampungBoyCityGal’s review on the same outlet. Some of the photo credits go to them as well.

I used to stare longingly at this place while it was still under construction. I really couldn’t wait for it to be opened. When it finally did, I was already too busy to pop by there. So you can imagine how excited I was when I saw Theobroma in Melbourne (haha yeah that’s when I realized that its origin is in Aus)! But I haven’t tried it yet though. There are too many chocolate/coffee places around here!

white chocolates tend to be sweeter than dark chocolates…hence may explain the drinks is too sweet. ^^
