Post Medical Check Up

I went back to Giyanti Coffee Roastery, but this time with different folks. It was a weekday and I just finished my bi-annual medical check up at the DGCA Medical. Me and a bunch of ex classmates got a few hours to kill before we took our results, so I proposed the idea of grabbing a few cups of coffee and some baked goods. Despite the fact that it was a working hour, the coffee place was rather packed. 

Of course I had to have my regular dose of Flat White. I didn’t ate anything since the night before my medical check up, so I was pretty cautious about my caffeine intake. I took the liberty to support my stomach by ordering a piece of Chocolate Cheese Brownies, which looked deliciously appealing on the display window. Torang, Goller, and Fafa also had their shares of coffee, as well as something to munch on even though they had their portion of proper meal earlier at the canteen. I’m rather unfamiliar with the sight of guys having dessert, but the three of them sure did ordered a series of sweet baked goods. 

My Chocolate Cheese Brownies was served warm. The size was not too intimidating for me to finish by myself and I felt like having a cheat day that day. It didn’t have that fudge-like brownie texture that I was hoping it would have, but it sure was moist and slightly buttery. The chocolate was too sweet to be combined with the cheese batter, making the whole thing a bit difficult to enjoy as it was making me slightly nauseous. The ratio of the cheese batter and the chocolate batter was also uneven, so the savoriness of the cheese batter did a lousy job in neutralizing the flavor.  If only they used a more bitter chocolate, then the whole brownie piece would be on point. It’s a good thing I had my medium-roasted Flat White with me. 

I didn’t had any bites of my friends’ food, but they sure did look good. Torang and Goller enjoyed their Ovomaltine Croissant very much as it took only mere seconds for them to devour the whole thing. Fafa, on the other hand, took a while to finish his Vegan Chocolate Brownie. Maybe he was just not into vegan food that much?
