Vanilla latte and mousse

Normally I wouldn't review food, as food is rather subjective, but this small piece of caffeine drink is so refreshing that I have to share it.

This is the vanilla latte available at Dome Cafe for RM 13.90++. Totally expensive, but very much worth it.


Latte is French (or Italian. No, French.) for MILK. A normal latte has fresh shots of espresso (pure coffee) and a generous amount of steamed milk. This Vanilla Latte has some extra vanilla essence, and it is doubly tasty!

The milk was just at the right temperature, and the sweetness of the milk did not overpower the smell and taste of the vanilla. When you drink it, the espresso's bitterness sort of meshes together with the creamy hot milk, and the vanilla is present almost on all the parts of your toungue. Sort of like a victory dance haha.

Oh and this new type of chocolate by Cadbury is absolutely delicious! Chocolate Mousse. The four of us wiped off 80% of the bar in one sitting. It is THAT good. The mousse inside is soft, and the chocolate coating is tough, so it's a perfect combination.

I was downing them down one by one mechanically without much thought. It's horrible to do that, but this chocolate is special. SPECIAL.

Speaking of chocolate mousse, Dome Cafe also has a Chocolate Mousse Cake (RM 13.00++). Eaten slightly warm, this is a perfect chocolate treat, if you've been missing out on choc for a long time.

There's a layer of choc mousse, more chocolate coating the body of the cake and some hazelnut praline on top (that's raisins and almonds).
The Hershy Kisses-ish thing on top is 100% edible, extremely sweet.
