Blok M's Fudgybro is the viral dessert spot drawing huge crowds for its "Cookie Bomb." This must-try treat is a massive, warm soft cookie with a molten chocolate center, perfectly balanced with a scoop of cold ice cream. While it's a sweet tooth's paradise, the sweetness is intense! This retro-trendy cafe is small but photo-worthy. The article shares crucial tips on the best times to visit, what to order, and why you should definitely bring a friend to share.
Every time I pass by Blok M, I see a long line at the entrance of this Fudgybro place. I had to ask, what kind of amazing shop is this that's worth such a long wait?[1] With an"I'll just see how good it is" attitude, I finally went for it on a weekday afternoon. The result... Anjay, the shop is so small with only 5 tables, I almost couldn't squeeze in. If you're thinking of having a comfortable Nongkrong session, you can forget about it. 😂
A"Cookie Bomb" of Ice and Fire
The shop's decor has that retro-trendy vibe, the walls are covered with all sorts of meme posters, and the lighting is dim and moody, perfect for taking great photos. No wonder it's a holy grail check-in spot for Gen Z. I ordered their signature The OG Chocolate Cookie Bomb[2], which is all over the internet, and you have to add ice cream!
I was stunned when it was served: a huge, warm soft cookie. Poke it with a spoon, and the chocolate sauce in the middle just oozes out, paired with a big scoop of cold vanilla ice cream... The first bite was truly Mantap! The mix of warm, sweet, and cold sensations explodes in your mouth. My sweet tooth was in heaven.[3] My friend who came with me ordered the Blok M exclusive Fudge Croissant[4], which is a brownie stuffed inside a croissant. A nice idea, but as for the taste, well, opinions may vary.
Time for Some Hard Truths
Alright, enough with the praise, let's get real. For friends who don't have a sweet tooth, this place is"the unbearable sweetness of being"![5] Even the Double Dark Valrhona Brownie[6], which claims to use Valrhona dark chocolate, I found to be off-the-charts sweet. So that vanilla ice cream is absolutely the soul, the savior; it perfectly balances out the cloying sweetness. Promise me you'll add it!
As for the price, a Cookie Bomb with ice cream is about 60,000 Rupiah[7]. It's not cheap, but considering its size, I think it's okay.
Tips to Avoid Pitfalls, Take It and You're Welcome!
For the girls who want to check this place out, listen to my advice, and I guarantee your experience will be twice as good!
- The Time Trick: Whatever you do, don't go on the weekend! It's relatively less crowded on weekday afternoons, otherwise, you'll be queuing long enough to question your existence.
- Group and Share: One dessert is huge and sickeningly sweet; one person really can't finish it! It's best for 2-3 people to share one portion[8], otherwise, it'll be so sweet you'll get a"sakit gigi" (toothache).
- Lower Your Expectations: There's no restroom in the shop[9], and they only serve mineral water! If you were thinking of having coffee with your dessert, forget it. Be mentally prepared.
- Parking Strategy: Don't even think about parking at the entrance; it's extremely difficult to park there. I suggest parking your car in the main Blok M parking lot and then just Chill and take a stroll over[10].
- One bite of molten chocolate cookie [1] + cold vanilla ice cream [2] = "ice and fire" explosion! Pure dessert bliss!
- A retro-trendy Gen Z hotspot: dim lights, meme posters. Every snap's a masterpiece.
- Always long queues [3] outside. A curiosity-inducing divine spot, worth discovering yourself!
