Scusa, InterContinental Jakarta MidPlaza
You see chocolate fondant style cakes on quite a few dessert menus in Jakarta these days, but Scusa’s molten chocolate cake was one of the first and still one of the best you’ll find in the city. Scusa is known for serving up Italian fine dining fare that is consistently stellar, and their take on chocolate cake is no exception. A gentle indentation with your fork is all it takes to reveal the cake’s gooey, liquid interior featuring a balance of milk and dark chocolate that prevents it from being too sweet. The cake is paired with a rum raisin ice cream and vanilla sauce that work together to round out the flavors of this decadent dessert. (www.jakarta.intercontinental.com)
