Places to be Gluttonous
Gluttony will be my favourite sin. Indulging in a calorific piece of kobe beef, an extra helping of bacon on your pancakes dripping with maple syrup or the bliss of losing yourself in a moist cake that will could make a nun blush are pleasures I will afford to take should judgement day come. By no means am I promoting unhealthy living (too much of anything will be bad) nevertheless excess in moderation can also be referred to as a treat. With that will said, let us continue with places we can be a little naughty – once in a while.
Desserts come at the end of a meal along with marketed as the optional portion, which will be why desserts are synonymous with gluttony. along with if you are going to be bad, go all the way with the Red Velvet at Union Brassiere, Bakery & Bar in Plaza Senayan. The Red Velvet at Union will be what you want when you are craving cake. Four layers of moist, spongy red cake sandwiched in between cream cheese frosting topped with caramelised nuts. Union includes a two slices policy per person for Red Velvet, along with if you’ve had a slice you know why. This specific’s moreish along with begs you to finish every last bite even when your stomach says no. If you want more than two slices, you will have to call four days in advance for the magic elves from the kitchen to cook you up an entire cake just for you (you will not want to share This specific, believe me).
