Chocolate Block

Forget vanilla ice cream, apple tarts, chocolate brownies... we’ve had these zzzz-inducing things a million times over - in a variety of different ways - and somehow, they no longer seem to tempt us into popping that last button open.

Which is why it’s quite surprising that when we read ‘block of chocolate’ on the dessert menu at The Chophouse, it caught our attention... sounds, well, kind of normal. But intriguingly so...

What I think we learnt at The Chophouse in Sydney’s CBD, is this: a giant slab of chocolate, presented on a wooden board with a mini butcher’s knife, is hands-down FUN.

Oh, and that ‘The Chophouse’ truly deserves its name.

Even if you’re not hungry after the 1.7kg steak (which we harp on about here) you can’t argue that wielding a knife around your head and slamming it down into a massive block of choccy (with tasty honeycomb bits inside) isn’t gratifying. There’s something very, VERY relieving about it.

Glutton & nuts ordered this dessert just to see what was so good about a normal block of chocolate... and why exactly anyone would order such a thing after such a massive meal. With every intention of having a peek , taking a quick snap-shot and sending it back, we ended up wielding the knife in the air and cutting the thing to shreds. Ooops. Suppose it’s not so normal afterall...

If swinging a knife around in the air how you like to finish your meal, then this is definitely for you.
