Sadly I have a lifelong dream to be a socialite/ famous journalist which is not something I like to admit because of the superficial elements. I don't care about being rich or being stalked by paparazzi but I would love the designer clothes and VIP party invites.
A few weeks ago me, along with my super-cool mother received an invitation to the VIP opening night of Koko Black in Rundle Mall. I literally counted down the days until the party and I was so excited. I've been to a few of these kinds of events before and they are always incredible. I remember attending the opening of KingPin in Norwood and being starstruck by ex-Australia's Next Top Model mentor, Josh Flinn (who was looking mighty fabulous that night by the way).
I have been vegan for the last month and so I was a little excited about consuming something unhealthy and incredibly delicious on the night and boy I was not disappointed. When we walked in, literally I nearly cracked it because the ColdPlay song, 'Paradise' was playing and I laughed at myself for figuring out that connection…yes I'm bloody hilarious!
We were served a velvet mousse cake with chocolate and nuts in the middle which was UH-MAZE-ING! I downed that quickly and washed it down with a fresh iced-chocolate which was indescribable. The next course was a rich mousse in small little bowls which I followed with a beautiful Santa Vittoria Sparkling Mineral Water.
The last course was like a million layer affogato-cake-thing which was actually the best thing I have ever tasted. Seriously it was like a rave party in my mouth. After that, the owner of Koko Black, Shane gave a welcome and thank-you speech to his guests and staff. I, along with my wingman mother went for an adventure upstairs which was very intimate and lovely, perfect for a cute winter date or a binge, (depending on your mood but it could be both!)
We then admired the beautiful hand-crafted chocolates on display. Such care has been taken into preparing each one and I think I wouldn't be able to eat one because of it's beauty. But lets be honest I could down ten of them and not feel guilty.
At the conclusion of the night we spent nearly half an hour talking to Shane and the marketing director for Koko Black who summers in New York City, just casually. She also fan-girled and showed us a selfie of her and Chris Martin for ColdPlay when she met him at a friends party last year. JEALOUSY!!! "Maybe that's why Chris and Gwyneth broke up" chimed in my mum? Joking obviously but we all found this hilarious. Don't judge we were all on a sugar high.
After we said our good-byes and thank-yous we received a beautiful goodie bag to take home full of Koko Black goodness and a complimentary ticket for a hot-chocolate on a card so we can come back again and enjoy the deliciousness.
Overall I would 150% recommend Koko Black, the service is world-class, the chocolate is to-die-for and the interior design and layout of the space is really quite beautiful.
