I adore this picture. There is just something so lovely about the sky colour. So unnatural yet pretty.

Candlelight.

Dusk.

Taken by me.

Took this by the window, had to hold my breath so the image would look sharp. :D

Taken by me.

It rained quite a bit today so it was pretty foggy outside. Reminded me of Britain.

Oh I wish I am in Britain.

Travelling withdrawal syndrome.

Took this in Dumaguete.

I need a vacation so so badly. :(

Teardrops on the window.

Their amazing collection of really good dessert!

Not too tarty, not too sour, just lovely. (:

This is so sinful but so so good. Totally great with hot tea. I'm such a sucker for valrhona chocolate. :D

Nutella cupcake. $4.5

This is one of my favourite dessert from black. Valrhona chocolate muffin with nutella frosting?? So heavenly after a bit of heating up. When the frosting melt it is just so...I have to get another one of this soon.

Carrot cake. $5

Love the frosting. (:

Smoked chicken focaccia. $8.5

This was really delicious. The balance of cheese and smoked chicken was just great.

Three cheese croque monsieur. $9

Could be greater. There was a lack of a kick and surprise. It is nice but not amazing.

Housepour. $8

Vodka & lime.

Yums. (:

Gin & Tonic.

A little strong but I can grow to love it.

Sorry for the photo spam. I stayed there with my friend till closing so we ordered a lot of food and I took a lot of photos. :D I love how laidback it feels, the ambience is so warm and cosy. Wonderful for parties and gatherings (which they do too) or just to catch up with a friend.

Of course, their highlight is still the coffee, their really brilliant coffee that always taste so superb. They have amazing drink creations like Chocolate Earl Grey Milkshake which is so lovely, their desserts like Banana Rum Crumble are another creation I really love.

It is one really awesome place. (:

black breakfast @ Hitachi.

:D Took a while but as I promised...

black @ Hitachi Tower

Caffe latte. reg. $5.

Real caffe latte taste like this.

The most worth it $5 I have ever spent on coffee. The coffee here is so ridiculously good that I never ever drink any coffee that isn't from black since I tried it. Coffee should never be so hot that you can't drink it right away. What I really love about the coffee here besides the flavor is how I can have it immediately and not 10-15 mins later.

1. The milk is not burnt!!!
2. It is not too milky that all you taste is milk
3. The espresso is not lost and strong enough
4. It is the perfect balance of steamed milk and espresso
5. This is how latte should taste like

Full breakfast. $14.

The English sausage is really good!

Cappuccino. $5.

I had this a while back at the other branch (my friend ordered the one you see here), I still remembered how pleased I was with it. Being an espresso lover, I love it when it is not drowned out by milk. Like the latte, it was the perfect balance of milk and espresso. It is definitely stronger than the latte just like it should be.

Although, to be very honest, the foam was not that great. It wasn't tiny, smooth and velvety in the way that it isn't in harmony with the espresso.

I love this! Isn't it just adorable and witty???

The atmosphere here is interesting, very different from the laid back style of their other branch. It is a little more fast paced here, all the business man or woman chatting over coffee about their work, the shares market, latest headlines and office gossip. Very modern, very upbeat.

I like it here too though this isn't the branch I first visited and the one that made me fall in with black.

It was their other branch at Somerset which I will cover in my next post with more photos of food and wonderful dessert! (:
