I Love Chocolate!! Who doesn't? And Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar has some of the best chocolate in town!

Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar was founded by Max Fichtman and Oded Brenner, who combined their names to get 'Max Brenner'. Yes, Max Brenner is a fictional person, although the famous 'Bald Man' face belongs to Oded Brenner.

Anyway, Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar has some excellent Hot Chocolate! Too often, the kind of Hot Chocolate you get in most cafes is too watery, or tastes like Milo. But the Hot Chocolate served at Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar is thick, rich and smooth.

Served in a 'Hug Mug', it has no handles, and you're supposed to cup the mug with your palms, thus also warming your hands. I like it, it's cute. I personally prefer the Melting Marshmellow Hot Chocolate, which has melted, sticky, gooey marshmellows floating on top of the Hot Chocolate.

Visited Goki Day twice, once over the Chinese New Year for a reunion dinner, and once with her. 

Goki Day is a Korean BBQ Buffet that was opened in December 2011, by a Korean lady. The decor is simple and clean, and service is passable, as it is self-service. However, they will demonstrate how to cook upon request, and explain how to prepare the grill. 

The selection of meats and sides at Goki Day is relatively good, though not extensive. I particularly like the Beef Rib, Pork Collar Chops and the Chicken Bulgogi. I find that quenching my thirst with the sliced Watermelon is also pretty refreshing, and balances the heavy meats.

The pre-cooked food at Goki Day however, isn't that great. Skip it, and go straight for those DIY grilled food.

Update Dec-2012: It's been about 1 year since my last visit to Goki Day, and I'm glad they're still going strong. There isn't much change to the buffet spread, which shows they have a strong selection available. Service is as good as ever, though the drinks menu has become more extensive. Prices have also remained somewhat constant.

Goki Day is still a good choice for Korean BBQ (Barbecue) especially if you're around the area.
