From time to time Jenny and I will pick out something mundane in our lives that we DO NOT agree on, and do a little nit-picking. We would like to assure you that this is perfectly healthy best-friend behaviour, i.e. while Jenny might feel a tiny bit hurt if I told her a million times that no, I would not snog David Beckham, it is more than outweighed by the reassurance that if she and I and Beckham were (hypothetically) alone somewhere and he was feeling (also hypothetically) up for a snog, I would turn to her and declare ‘you SO get dibs’.

Anyway, in opposing corners:

If chocolate and ice-cream were in a shootout, who would win?
CHOCOLATE. Shootouts aren’t typically conducted in a freezer, but OUT in the HOT SUN. Ice-cream would be a puddle 10 seconds into the preluding staring contest.

Name the best chocolate/ice-cream desserts you can find in town.
Schockolart’s Mexican hot chocolate, almost any chocolatey drink in Theobroma, Jarrod & Rawlins’ ‘Death by Chocolate’ cake, and orange-infused warm chocolate cake in Ciccio, Changkat Bukit Bintang. Oh and Kinder Buenos.

Ice-cream: Pick one, any one. They’re all about the same to me

Ratio of quality chocolate establishments in town versus quality ice-cream ones?
DAMMIT. This one I lose. The figure is probably about 1:217 or so, without discounting gelato joints (and Jenny does not discount those, no sirree).

Which dessert is sexier?
Well chocolate has all those wonderful mood-boosting chemicals, whereas ice-cream may or may not provide any chemical help other than sugar. Also, using ice-cream in the bedroom is just plain weird. It’s either freezing or melted. Gah.

Which is suitable as part of a breakfast for champions?
MILO, Koko Krunch, chocolate buns, Nutella, Coco Pillows, Chocolate flavoured Nestum, Chocolate Horlicks, Calci-yum puddings etc, etc. Other than frozen yoghurt I don’t see how ice-cream would find its place at the breakfast table. Although I read once that this member of a now-defunct band said that he eats his cereal with vanilla ice-cream instead of milk. His band is now-defunct. ‘Nuff said.

Which would go better with MEEEEAAAAAAT?
Chocolate!!! …Not that anyone has tried the whole meat-and-ice-cream thing. Although Jenny hardly eats meat, with or without ice-cream, so does this one count?

Which is better for socializing?
Does this equal out? On the one hand chocolate enjoys easier portability and often comes in bite-sized forms which negate the need to swap saliva whilst sharing. But on the other hand it’s easier to round up the mates in a Baskin Robbins than at a chocolate cafe BUT I JUST DON’T KNOW WHY.

Something timely! Which makes a better Valentine’s Day gift.
Depends on which one of us you’re asking!

Can’t we all just get along?
Chocolate and ice-cream are often used together in the creation of tasty desserts, impossible to resist by gods and mortals alike.

Combine the two in a delicious, non-gross manner and you can please us both at the same time. Way to go you!

Okay now you tell us: which one pwns?
