Came down with a sudden lack of appetite, most likely due to the fact that I had to have lessons on a wonderful Saturday morning. Went down afterwards to the IFC for window shopping therapy, and a cup of coffee as lunch. Well, more like an early afternoon tea.Fuel is located on the 3rd floor.

Fuel is located on the 3rd floor. I Ordered a Flat White and a Chocolate Cake, then sat down at their tables. Like the other shops in this extravagant mall, this meal did not come cheap. The whole set cost me almost 70 dollars. My dad would scoff at this if I told him I paid this sum for a coffee and a cake. Alas, he is not one to appreciate coffee, and that was precisely what I was here for.
The joint actually has a selection of normal and dark roasted blends, suggesting that it definitely takes its coffee seriously. (You can buy beans from them too) Sure enough, before long a dinky little cup in a delightful green appeared before me, served with a smile and filled to the brim with a brown concoction. Even though this wasn't a Latte, the barista still had the good sense to put some patterns on the top! Wonderful. The chocolate cake looked equally delighting. You could see that it was going to be chewy and wasn't going to be dry. The portion was much more generous than the coffee as well.
The moment I took a bite, I was blasted with an intense chocolate aroma. My goodness, this was rich! I can only describe the texture as soft, wet and succulent. At the same time, it was not too sweet nor was it bitter, and it went perfectly well with the coffee.Speaking of which, Fuel indeed serves the best coffee in the IFC. I had the regular roast, and it came up with a mild acidity but strong aroma. The milk, blissfully full cream, smoothened the whole experience.
A mere 5 minutes and the cake was gone. So were my troubles. My mood was swiftly uplifted and away I went, back to bury myself in study. Fuel is a great place to go if you are in the vicinity, but maybe not worth a deliberate trip. There are in fact many other coffee joints in Central that are decent enough, but I will be back for this one when I come passing by.
