Garlic Fondue
Fondues is one of the most straight-forward things to make. All you need is the right chocolate mix, heat it to its molten state, and finally, something cool to acts as a core for the chocolate to harden around and presto! Of course, things are straight-forward only after you have found the correct chocolate mix.
However, what can you do if you can't find the right chocolate mix? Ah, this is where improvisation comes in. Suppose you want to eat, say garlic fondue, right now at home where you're comfortably seated, but you don't wish to invest in the machine that churns out molten chocolate, and neither do you wish to hunt for the right chocolate mix.
Maybe you can't exactly have molten chocolate solidified around a garlic clove core, but to have something that tastes chcoolatey and garlic-ky at the same time is not impossible. The cheapest and easiest alternative, is to go down to the nearest confectionery, buy a freshly-baked garlic bread and a bun smothered with chocolate rice, pack them into the same plastic bag and leave them together for 15 minutes, then eat the chocolate rice bun directly from the bag. Try to breathe more deeply while eating.
The sweet chocolatey taste in your tongue, combined with the aroma of garlic, will make you feel as though you're savouring garlic fondue. Remember, the sense of smell does play a very important role in making out the taste of food.
At least that's what I felt when I ate the bun my mom bought for me.
Note: Author has never even seen a fondue in life, let alone eat one.

actually i have never tasted or even heard of garlic fondue before.. only ate fondue once... which is sliced strawberry, marshmellows, sliced banana etc. dipped in melted chocolate...
garlic fondue?.. never tasted before.. can anyone tried before bring me to try?.. would not wanna try mel's version of it.. haha..
actually after this entry, ur blog should be called "food NOT for thought" instead..
hee hee.. juz kidding..
i m not here to 踢馆，but hor.. if we were to infer from the idea of how a choc fondue is like, meaning melted choc then dip the fruits or whatever we wished to into the choc, then, a garlic fondue should be garlic paste being heated up then we dip fruits or whatever we want into the garlic right?? not garlic + choc??
Just assume that fondue stands for melted chocolate. Or take the title to be "Garlic Chocolate Fondue".
Teachers...seesh (I'm kidding).
well... therez only one way to solve this problemo here... We should all go eat choco fondue. Only ate once at esplanade... heard some of the hotels also have. Bummer, should have kept tat newspaper tat time.
hehe... Melvin's treat?
"Melvin and the choco fondue" - coming soon.
hehehe... looking forward to tat show. :oP
Yeah! Go to Max Brenner at Esplanade!!! Melvin and the chocolate fondue! That sounds realy NICE! haaa.
I am onz for any treats! I think Mel still owe some of us cheesecakes...
Hey, aren't you the one who owes the cheesecakes? Made cheesecake and finished it yourself, didn't leave any for us *hmph*
Whatever happened to empathy? Can't anyone take pity on an unemployed personnel? HCl owes me 2 TREATS AT GENGHIS KHAN, but I offered to let him treat me at a later date.
