Chocolate lava buns is what you want to taste today

chocolate buns

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: chocolate lava buns.

If you are a true, die-hard, obsessed chocolate lover and you don't mind putting in a little effort for the very best choco treats, then you might want to sit down to read this news. It's such good news that it might overwhelm you a bit...

And then you need to quickly book a train ticket to London and make a reservation at the Din Tai Fung branch in Covent Garden, because they sell these absurdly lavish and incredibly exciting Chocolate Cocoa Lava Buns. For us, the location in London is the most accessible, as the originally Taiwanese chain with restaurants all over the world has unfortunately not yet established itself in the Netherlands.

Chocolate + lava = sweep me up
And you know what the words chocolate and lava mean in one sentence, right? Flowing, melting, if-you're-not-careful-running-down-your-chin warm decadent chocolate, that pulls a river of happiness through your senses... Well, and then in a softly steamed chocolate bun, made from perfect cocoa dough.

Be quick
They are steamed in the classic steaming baskets, and only 150 of the buns are made and sold per day. That means a lunch reservation, because you need to be there early. So if you can go to London soon (make sure to eat at one of these beautiful London restaurants), then you know what you need to do: leave your white jeans in the suitcase (good tip from food writer Leonie Cooper) and don't go home until you've tasted these incredibly delicious Chocolate Cocoa Lava Buns.
