Dapur Coklat (Chocolate Kitchen)

There is a new cake shop open in Surabaya "Dapur Cokelar" or Chocolate Kitchen in Jl. Biliton (Biliton street), the shop is very easy to be found and I forgot to write down the number so I cannot write it here. Anyway just drive along the way at Biliton street and you'll see Dapur Cokelat because sometimes the cars which park at Dapur Cokelat is the cause of the traffic there. Btw Dapur Cokelat is a branch and the owner is from Jakarta(the capital city of Indonesia).

Me and my friend went to Dapur Cokelat finally out of my curiosity. Inside we found that Dapur Cokelat is not that amazing the cake varieties are not many and the varieties of the chocolates just ordinary and not amazing. Instead of putting the chocolates inside glass display its displayed outside and I didn't feel to buy it since it looked like not interesting at all. I bought a few cakes with my friend to go because the atmosphere of eating there was really not into my liking, the shop is an old house from ancient period.




This special cake was a recommendation from the waitress there. The price is IDR17,500 or SGD$2.50 or US$2. I turned out to be not a good cake it's too sweet while I said that I don't want too sweet cake. It's ok when I heat it up (picture on the left) with microwave, the chocolate melted it and it's more edible to eat than before.



The yellow one in "Mango Cassata Indonesia" a nice mango flavour cool cake, the price is IDR13,500 (SGD$2 or US$1.5). The mango mouse is not too sweet with a bit of sour taste and it has the smell of mango. I just didn't feel like to eat the chocolate cake layer of the cake since as I said before their chocolate cake is not that great and usually it's too sweet. After all this cake is good.




The red cake is "Raspberry Truffle Slice", not so awesome raspberry cake but still ok to try for once. The price is IDR13,500 (SGD$2 or US$1.5). The raspberry mouse is not full raspberry flavor but it still ok.




On the right side is "Java Chcocolate cake Indonesia" price is IDR13,500 (SGD$2 or US$1.5), not so good cake. The chocolate layer is too sweet and overall it's not so good cake. The left side is "Dapur Cokelat's choco Indonesia", not my favorite either, the price is IDR12,500 (SGD$1.9 or US$1.4). The chocolate mouse is too sweet unlike the taste of the chocolate at all.

My best choice is Mango cassata Indonesia since it tasted well and better than other cakes that I've tried, too bad that almost all the cakes are too sweet.
