#EatWithWeekend
In search of the
e k a C e t la o c o h C t Perfec
The monsoon season is upon us; and as we watch the clouds gather and the raindrops start to fall, we can’t help but feel the familiar craving for a slice of gooey, fudgy, gushy chocolate cake – preferably with a large glass of chilled, ice-cold milk (although on occasion, a coffee or cappuccino is a suitable alternative). So, for those who are particular about their cocoa-cravings, here are five of the very best chocolate cakes available in Lahore from ‘good chocolate fun’ to ‘will blow your mind’, but it’s totally a matter of what tickles your palate. @nandospakistan
Nando’s
1
Last, but definitely not the least, it’s going old school with Nando’s. While famous for their Peri Peri chicken, Nando’s Chocolate Cake is perhaps the best – the perfect mix of chocolate, gushiness, and fluffiness. Head and shoulders above the rest.
@ganache_by_madiha

Ganache
2
Lahore’s worst kept secret, pretty much everyone or anyone who loves cakes, will swear by Ganache by Madiha. You have to order in advance, but we promise it will be well worth the wait.
Urban Kitchen
3
Relative newplayer Urban Kitchen burst onto the scene with its Matilda Chocolate Cake. Fans of Roald Dahl will pick up on this immediately; but even if you’ve never read the book (or watched the movie), this creamy, chocolate delight is bound to make your mouth water.
@cosanostralhr
Cosa Nostra

@rinaskitchenette
Rina’s Kitchenette
Rina’s has two signature chocolate cakes: the Toblerone Cake and the Cadbury’s Dairy Chocolate Cake. Either of these will satisfy your craving, depending on whether you want a touch of nougat or just want to go plain old, fashioned Dairy Milk. Both cakes are well-balanced – not too light, not too heavy – and will meet the requirements of most afficianados.
Long-time favourites and a Lahori staple, Cosa Nostra serves a variety of chocolate delights at both The Deli and the main restaurants. Our favourites are Death by Chocolate, Nutella Cake, and the Double Choco Fudge Cake. Each has its own unique flavor – but if you’re looking for a real cocoa-overdose, we recommend the Death by Chocolate, which is true to its name.

TAROTSCOPES: August 18th – 24th, 2019

ARIES
This week open up to exploring your passions and creative outlets. You may be introduced to a new emotional experience. This could involve an invitation or an opportunity for a new relationship or friendship. Someone may present you with an offer that’s hard to resist. However, be sure of how you feel or what your intuition is telling you in order to avoid being easily led by others. Matters related to children or teenagers could come to the forefront.
TAURUS
A personal relationship or a professional bond could come to an end resulting in hurt and grief. However, through cooperation and negotiation you can end the association on better terms and mutual respect. Acknowledge that what no longer serves you should be released and let go of rather than holding onto it because that may lead to continuous conflicts and unnecessary stress. Think properly and thoroughly before entering into any agreements and commitments.
CANCER
April 14 , 2019 | 42
This week is about love, happiness and celebrating with your loved ones, friends or acquaintances. You may enter into a new relationship that could lead to marriage or a lasting friendship. You may renew old ties or revisit old memories with your closed ones. Birthdays, anniversaries or family get-togethers could be in the offing for you. Any such occasion may present an opportunity to overcome a sense of boredom as well as resolve any grudges and conflicts.
Leo
This is not the time to take any financial risks instead take this week as an opportunity to restructure your finances. You may come across an opportunity to increase your income and finances at the expense of burnout and family time. Therefore, be mindful to maintain a balance between your personal and professional life. You might resent the demands your family might make on your marriage plans or choice of partner. However, don’t allow this to dampen your spirits. Sale or purchase of property seems likely. You may be concerned about the health or well being of a family member. Know that overwork may lead to decline in your own health.
Gemini This week you may enjoy the satisfaction and fulfillment of a job well done. Some sort of a change or enlightenment may take place. You may start to notice the culmination of your efforts, expansion of your horizons and the termination of a stagnant situation. You may reach the final stage of a project or start a new one. Whatever that is remember to have faith in yourself and let go of any insecurities and fears. Either you will travel over long distance or make such plans in the near future.
A conflicting scenario may surface but make sure you view the situation from a higher perspective. You may have to use strength, courage and determination to confront the circumstances and overcome the odds. Don’t give up the struggle rather hold your ground and defend your position. Be clear on your stance and communicate it to others in an honest and clear manner. It might not be an easy week but know that you have courage to fight and stay strong. Chances are likely for you to enter a period of new learning or teaching.
Virgo Your desire to move away from an oppressive situation, attitude or person will be strong this week. It’s a good time to let go of what no longer serves you. You may be about to move or embark on a creative project. You may find yourself all charged up with energy, passion and motivation. And it will completely depend upon on you how and where you channel this energy. Don’t be afraid or allow anyone to stop you from exploring new and unknown territories to expand your dreams and prospects. Travel related to business is possible.
Scorpio
Libra
Inspiration is all around you and potential to succeed is high. Therefore, be proactive towards the plans you have had written down on paper or which are still lurking in your mind. Map out a strategic plan and consult your peers so that you can start pursuing it. If you have been waiting to receive a message or call, know that it is going to come your way soon. Go to the gym or take a walk and make it a regular practice. You may decide to begin a course of learning to enhance your knowledge.
You can create any outcome you wish for, so be mindful of your intentions this week. Teamwork and delegation will assist you to get closer to your goal. Be open to appreciating the viewpoints of others instead of imposing your point of views or getting irritated by their inquires. You may receive sound advice from a mature and knowledgeable person or you can be this person who helps other people through their wisdom and act as mediator. Your love life will go well and bring about fulfillment and gratification.
You may make plans to travel abroad in the near future. You may be in line for a salary increase or promotion. Present and future security is going to be of key importance to you this week. For a realistic strategy and sound financial advice consult an advisor, mentor or an elder in order to gain a clearer perspective. Be steadfast and devoted in honouring your commitments to others as well as yourself. Take up an athletic activity to stay fit as well as to burn those extra calories.
Aquarius
This week you can overcome challenges and gain victory through the use of strength and will power. Stay strong, determined and dedicated as you strive to achieve your goals. The journey may not be a smooth sail but try to maintain focus in order to get a step closer to your objectives. Make sure that your plans and ideas are structured and well thought because that will boost your energy levels and confidence to stay persistence otherwise disorganization may hinder your growth. Remember slow and steady wins the race.
Pisces
This week brings an opportunity for you pause and examine your feelings regarding a matter at hand. Follow your intuition and listen to what it’s telling you. Treat yourself with kindness and compassion so that you are able to hold space for others. Someone may come to your assistance and lend a helping hand or you may get a chance to nurture the feelings of others. Your interest in mysticism, music and arts may heighten. Break free of any limitations that are holding you back from exploring and exhibiting your true potential.
