[RECIPE] Sortedfood's recipe: Chocolate Cake-in-a-mug

I always crave for something sweet, and that's a really big problem for me. A single serving of chocolate cake can satisfy me without me overeating more sweets~

Out of all the recipes I came across, Sorted Food's chocolate cake-in-a-mug recipe seems to be the most foolproof and simplest one. I did some minor changes to their recipe:

Chocolate Cake-in-a-mug (single serving):
2 tbsp self-raising flour*
1 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp coffee powder
1 tbsp  sugar (the chocolate chips I have at home are really sweet, so I use less sugar)
1 (small) egg
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp milk
chocolate chips

*self-rasing flour: 1.25 (all-purpose flour) to 0.25 (baking powder) ratio

[REVIEW] La Chocolaterie

La Chocolaterie is a little ganache shop located within a large Japanese marketplace, Izumiya. They are located near Lansdowne Centre and the Richmond Superstore.

I've heard a lot about their (Japanese-style) chocolate/ ganache, so I decided to give it a try.

Fair Bees special drinks
Honey Lemon Green Tea is my go-to bbt drink, although I didn't add any pearls into it. It's not overly sweet but you can taste the green tea and a slight lemon sourness.
Fair Bees Honey Lemon Green Tea- $2.99
My friend ordered the Ferroro Rocher slush. It's amazing! It tastes just like a coffee crisp~
Fair Bees Ferroro Rocher slush- $4.99
Food: (5/5) Delicious!

Service: (5/5) My friend and I were the only customers there, so there was no line-up. 

Ambiance: (4/5) They have a couple of seats available, but most customers order their drinks on-the-go. The cute little shop reminds me of a little bee hive (Fair bees, duh).

Value: (4.5/5) Cheap bbt for their quality!

Overall: I will definitely come back here if I want bbt !! ^^
