Let your lips be kissed by sensational dishes

Reading the café’s signage—Chocolate Kiss—already brings to mind dreamy visions of an intimate rendezvous. And why not? The words “chocolate” and “kiss” rank high in almost anyone’s romantic vocabulary. Once inside the restaurant, the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Delicate white paper lanterns hang from the ceiling, artworks adorn the walls and freshly baked cakes are temptingly displayed in a cake counter, releasing a most divine aroma. The atmosphere is so relaxed you can stay the whole afternoon or evening there.
If the delightful name and ambiance are any indication of the food, then you know your palate is in for a treat. For starters, indulge your taste buds with the Chicken Salad Oriental (P160). An exclusive special at Chocolate Kiss’ Roces Avenue branch, this sweet and tangy salad is highly addictive. Each mouthful of crisp lettuce and chicken morsels coated with a sweet citrus sauce leaves you hungry for more. Follow with house specialties like the Chicken Kiev, (P210); Hickory Smoked Spareribs, (P205); and Gamberi, (P220).
Vegetarians can delight to their heart’s content with Chocolate Kiss’ Steamed Tofu, soft yet firm bean curd in a special Oriental soy-based sauce topped with three different kinds of mushrooms and served with rice (P160). Leave room for dessert as your visit to Chocolate Kiss would not be complete without having a slice of their Devil’s Food Cake and Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. Beneath
the white, fluffy icing is a moist and decadent chocolate cake. Words of caution though, Devil’s Food Cake is sinfully sweet. So for those who aren’t equipped to handle such a temptation, try their Chocolate Chip Cheesecake instead. The rich cream cheese, combined with the chocolate chips and crust, is a match made in heaven.
Whether you are looking to go there for a full course dinner or a sweet nightcap, Chocolate Kiss is sure to satisfy whatever you are craving for. Forget pricey tabs and dress codes. Luscious food, casual clothes and comfy surroundings with a violinist and keyboardist serenading you as you take a bite of that decadent cake…well, what more could you ask for?
