Brunetti's Sweets

After Lemon Grass in Lygon, we're trying to find a place to sit down for a coffee and cakes...
since it's Melbourne Cup day, and since everybody was in this festive and pig-out mood... ^_^
We walked up and down Lygon Street twice... couldn't really find a place that we could decide on... we wanted to go to Koko Black, as I wanted to have more sinful chocolate drinks before we go home..., but at early hour like 21:00, Koko Black was closed... (cheh!!)
He suddenly thought about Brunetti, which we used to like... (before we found out that there's one Brunetti on Swanston, we came to this place twice... as there's no tram line along Lygon, that's the reason we actually seldom came around Lygon)

So, we went to Brunetti, in one of the small road crosses Lygon Street... (can't remember the name now, but I believe, I have mentioned about it, in another entry of my blog... m-.-m) it was near the quieter end of Lygon...
As this end was the quieter end of Lygon, we didn't expect to see a huge crowd there... however, there're still quite a number of people in this cafe... and most of the nice cakes and other desserts were sold-out... >_< I went to order coffees... and he stood at the sweets counter to decide what to take... at first, we both saw a tiramisu and a scone-looking, or puff-looking thing with some interesting topping and before I went to order our coffee... we decided on these two... However... later when we met up at the table... there's only one tiramisu in his hand.. >_< he said, when he turned around.. that cute puff-looking thing was gone!!!! (ahhh!!!! Da-me! Da-me!! だめだめ!!) Since I had longed for a chocky drink... I got myself a hot italian dark chocolate... mm... it's definitely a totally different version from either Max Brenner or Koko Black... (as Max Brenner's chocolate, actually has slightly less chocolate, that's why, lately I fell in love with Max Brenner's Mocha instead.. cos, MB's mocha, as compared to the rest of the cafes' it's more chocolate but not compromising the coffee taste... and for Koko Black's chocolate drinks... mm... it's actually richer, but we both felt that, it's a little bit too rich, that it's heaty... after we had our share of cocoa one time... we both told each other, for the next 2 months, we're not going to touch any cocoa thing!!) this Brunetti's Italian Hot Choc... mm... was one real hot choc... I guess... besides hot melted choc, there's nothing much left inside... not even much milk!!(I saw how the MB's barrister made the drink before... for normal hot choc, it's chocolate+full cream milk, if you order the thick choc, then, they use some full thick cream+choc... rather than add in extra dosage of chocky!!) I guess... it's really full cup of melted chocolate... ^o^ hurray!!! not very sweet.. but very chocky!!! good one!! and the tiramisu that we took... also, was not too sweet afterall.. but just nice, the err... liqeuer that they used with the sponge cake at the base, was also just nice, not too bitter, not too strong the liquor taste and smell... :-d
