It will probably not shock you to know I do not keep up with trends.
However, I do live with a twenty-something who does, so we were sent by Tik Tok to seek out a Dubai Chocolate Bar which is made at Lily’s Chocolate and Coffee in Vienna. The rest of the world (and their brothers) also found out, so at 8:30pm on a cold, rainy night, many folks tried to cram into this tiny shop.
Dubai Chocolate Bars (DBC) are made commercially, so you could order one for about $26 plus shipping, but we were thinking more along the lines of instant gratification.
And when we found out Lily’s also makes loukamades, we knew we had to take the plunge.
We both had loukamades in Athens, so we were excited to try them here. They have both traditional (syrup) and modern with gooey, rich toppings. We opted for the pistachio topping.
The locma, as they call it here, is probably as good as in Athens, so that is a major accomplishment.
The DBC is milk chocolate, so too sweet for my taste. We got a small one for about $16.
