rumah coklat

"Coffee makes it possible to get out of bed, but chocolate makes it worthwhile."


Chocolate has been known for centuries in its various kinds. Even from health side it is said that chocolate is a vegetable, " Chocolate is a Vegetable: chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar beets. Both are plants, which places them in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So candy bars are a health food."

And there is one place here I'd like to talk about, still related to chocolate because the place provide us with various pleasures made from chocolate: Rumah Coklat (Chocolate House). It is located in Cik Ditiro St. No. 19, Yogyakarta Indonesia.


At a glance, you will see a garden shape cafe with several wooden chairs and tables that have umbrella. Also,  some fish ponds and artificial waterfalls seem refreshing, accompanied by plants and flowers. Enter the shop, your eyes will see some comfy colorful sofas, where you can sit and talk for hours or just working with your computers and surfing the internet. The interior decorations are varied from everything-about-chocolate, books, cars, motorbikes, etc. At the counter, you can pick cakes that you want, whether mix cakes with coffee, waffle or ice creams.


You can find chocolate in beverages (hot and chill) and also cakes. To name some are  Volcano Choco Melt, Choco Cake Ice Cream, Spicy Hot Chocolate, Opera Cake, Hot Belgian  Chocolate, Oreo pancake, Choco mistery or Black Forest on Winter, Cocoa Ice Pudding, Strawberry Velvet Oreo, and more.
