Anyway, I picked an assortment to fill my box– mango, blueberry, cheesecake, hazelnut, Oreo, and crispy rice. Mango chocolate.» I think «no» in Arabic actually means yes. Then the same thing happened when I asked about the mango chocolate. «They have CHEESECAKE chocolate?!» The owner interrupts, «No.» “What? You don’t have it?” «No.» “But it’s right there-labeled cheesecake milk chocolate!” «No.» Why is this happening? He spoke politely, but he was blatantly lying. My friend recommended the cheesecake chocolate he tried last time, and I was delighted.
#SLIK CHOCOLATE FULL#
We were too full from lunch to have a full sized dessert, so little pieces of chocolate were perfect. There is also a chocolate fountain, which is always fun. They serve crepes and waffles loaded with chocolate. Sorry, dyslexia is nothing to joke about. Except he insisted it was Silk, not Slik, until I pulled up the Unilocal page and forced him to admit he’s dyslexic. He knew about a new business opening before me. My friend discovered this chocolate shop and couldn’t wait to tell me about it because: 1. You’ll find this off of Westheimer kind of next to where Houston’s used to be (it changed name but I don’t know what it is now). It’s not your cheap plastic fork or knife that breaks off after about a pound of pressure but the real shiny chrome looking ones that are pretty thick and do their job. Just a little weird side not you won’t find any silverware hut the plastic wear is second best. The crepes here are freshly made of course, five star flavor and consistency. When it came to the table it was drizzled very artfully with caramel and chocolate zig zag that made you not want to destroy the work of art but once the scent hits your nostrils you’ve already jabbed your fork into it. I ordered the fruit crêpe which I chose banana and strawberry as the fruits. I don’t understand why most of these dessert places do not have milk to buy and consume I mean who doesn’t like a glass/jug/serving of milk to accompany their sweetness? Well, to the side there is a small refrigerator with other types of beverages, pick your poison. Non discriminate they are customer oriented and do not say anything to make you feel that they’re product is any better than anybody elses except that you just only need to give them a try. The customer service from our Syrian friends here is very friendly. The presentation of the products on the menu as ell as the execution to your table is flawless in a sense that would even make Willy Wonka proud. You’ll notice the hard floor which resembles a light italian yellow marble but most likely just an expensive high end tile laid down. Once you step inside you’d flash a thought that you have entered some kind of jewelry store in the Galleria. If you die and want to go to chocolate heaven then here is where you might end up. Or if I’m in the mood for a crêpe with some deliciously melted, creamy chocolate… I’ll probably be back again with some of my friends that crave sugar a lot more than I do.
#SLIK CHOCOLATE PLUS#
Plus I had my own bottle of water in my car anyways (which I quickly ran to get as soon as my crêpe was done… all that sugar had a girl thirsty). The chocolate was so good that I didn’t care. I asked the lady that worked there for 2 glasses of water, but they only offer bottled water (obviously so they can make money off of it), which kind of made me mad, but whatever. I’d say the food is well worth the money we paid. Pricewise, the place is not expensive at all. The aesthetics also don’t hurt (especially if you take pictures of all your food, like me). The crêpe was good and the chocolate was soooo good. 50) and a friend got the chocolate waffle (which is basically topped with the same three chocolates as my crêpe plus a scoop of ice cream on top). I got the triple chocolate crêpe with bananas (adding fruit is an extra $ 1. And then there are a bunch of different candy chocolates that I wasn’t able to try. There are waffles, crepes, waffles on a stick, and some fruit assortments that come with a fondue chocolate thing. There aren’t many items on the menu, so it shouldn’t take you that long to decide. The music reminds me of the days in college I would spend at random hookah bars.
When you walk in, you can tell by the décor that the place is Middle Eastern. My friend who’s basically addicted to chocolate asked if we could check the place out, and since I’m always down to try out a new place in Houston, I was pretty excited myself! From research I did beforehand, I found out Slik was an international company.
