[m i a o w] the cat

OK, so I’m a sucker for the new QVB Building. I think it’s sexy. Today I hooked up with M for lunch (a big novelty for me!) and we hit the sushi bar in the food court. Wandered the shops. Bought some presents for people. And then decided to top off the hour with a hot chocolate from Max Brenner - there are some photos of it here, if you can be bothered. I have been there once before - the hot chocolate was OK, but it didn’t blow my brain like the one I had in Spain did. So M ordered his special hot chocolate in his ‘hug mug’ and I went for the strawberry fondue (there was no way I was going to pass up this opportunity). So M got his hot chocolate, drank it, liked it, and we waited. Where was my fondue? The fondue that was going to make of break my day? The strawberrry of chocolate goodness? It was bloody nowhere. We never got it. And by then my lunch break was over, so I got my money back and slumped my way out of Max Bloody Brenner. Fondue-less. Gah. Teach your children - don’t take chocolate from a bald man.

I stumbled upon your bad experience @ Max Brenner and as the manager of that store (and hopefully a few more next year) I would like to invite you for another visit in our shop.
I regret you had such an experience and can only tell you it sometimes happen in this bussiness but would like to invite you for a drink and dessert next time you come, on company’s expence of course…
Hope to see you soon,
Almog

I dont know what all the fuss is with Max Brenner.I went to the QV for a HOT chocolate but recieved a very luke warm not very tasty drink.My understanding is that Max Brenner lives in Tel Aviv in Isarel and the product comes from there.How fresh can souffles be that have to travel from Isarel to Melbourne.How about supporting some local chocolate bars.

The reason Max is (or seems to be) so talked about here is that there AREN’T any local chocolate bars to support! If you know any dfc please tell us, cause I’d certainly try them. Although I did enjoy Max’s white chocolate frappe.
