No More Churros, Thanks!



I had mad cravings for churros (Spanish doughnuts) after seeing them on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations.

So when Molten Lava erupted in One Utama (ok, well maybe like a pimple would), I was like Yay 'cause I could finally satiate my curiosity.

'Cause in my mind, playing like a broken record were visions of ze churros, generously piled and generously smothered by icing sugar, accompanied by a nice thick cup of chocolat.

But alas, what came out of the Molten Lava were 4 miserable pieces of churro, accompanied by an even more miserable bowl of a sorry excuse for chocolate.

Sigh.

One bite and all dreams were crushed.

I guess some things are better off as ideas when you can't get the real thing -- or when the real thing disappoints as well.

VERDICT

Molten Lava
Somewhat pricey for something so simple. But if you enjoy the greasy smell of fried doughnuts, then give it a go. If not, I'd say you'd be happier with some Big Apple or Krispy Kreme.

woahh that was pretty harsh
especially the pimple part
like chill man
its just churros
you don't have to be a total bitch about it

I've tried Molten Lava's churros myself and I must admit they are pretty damn well similar to the real churros you get in Spain, Melbourne etc.
The chocolate sauce does need little more oomph, but otherwise the texture and taste of the churros are great
Your expectations were indeed too high and probably precipitated by the fact that you've never even tasted churros before

btw, their funnel cakes are awesome too!
though I doubt with all that whining you'll ever step in there again
;)

Darling, it's my blog and I'll bitch if I want to (and I haven't even started yet!).

Anyway, if you're too uptight for my blog, I suggest you stick to your candy-coated fluff.
