Churreria Spanish Chocolateria

If you have been exposed to European culture, you know that for breakfast the English enjoy a big plate of bacon, eggs and haggis. The French will be satisfied with their freshly baked croissants and the Spanish have the most fun at breakfast as they get to have Chocolate dipped Churros first thing in the morning.

This Spanish tradition has caught up so well because deep friend doughnuts dipped in dark chocolate translates into any culture, and who doesn't mind being "naughty" for breakfast?. And for the average sweet-loving Indonesians, going to Churreria at Grand Indonesia is the perfect excuse to enjoy some homemade churros, chocolates and desserts at any time, any day.

As soon as you sit down, the whiff of burning oil and frying dough is overwhelming, but in a positive way. If you have never had churros before, you definitely have to go for the Churros Deluxe which comes with 6 churros sprinkled with sugar powder and chocolate together with your two choices of dips available- from melted dark chocolate, milk chocolate, caramel or white chocolate. The freshly fried churros and the warm sweet desserts are divine and the best part of this dish is that you can lick the sugar and chocolate powder off your fingers after each and every dip. If it makes you feel any better, all the chocolates served in Churreria is sugar free with a high cocoa content of 65%. This is evident when you have their Classic Churreria Hot Chocolate with steamed milk. The dark chocolate makes the drink slightly bitter and full of flavour, like any good quality chocolate should.

Furthermore, at Churreria they have expanded their dessert offerings by adding another ultimate dessert- Ice Cream, to accentuate and make the churros even more fun to eat. In their a la carte menu you will find your churros stacked in between, above and below your favorite flavors of ice cream, fresh fruits and of course more melted chocolate. Our recommendation of the Black Forest Wonders is one great example of their creative take on incorporating churros into everyday desserts. The hot sizzling churros are accompanied with mocha ice cream, cherries jubilee and topped up with whipped cream. Let's not forget the generous servings of hot chocolate sauce and shavings that come with this dish. When you're feeling blue, the Black Forest Wonders seems to be the most appropriate cure.

This place is definitely worth a visit, and if you feel a tad bit guilty for indulging, remember you're having a 'cultural' experience.
