Slurp on a sweet shake for Chocolate Milkshake Day

In case you didn’t know, it’s Chocolate Milkshake Day on Monday September 12 and if you’re looking to indulge in a milkshake in Dubai, you’ve come to the right place. Notorious for their ridiculously large shakes, Black Tap has a few options for you to indulge in. Their classic Brooklyn blackout is a chocolate shake that is topped with chocolate frosting, two chocolate brownies and (the only thing small about this shake) mini chocolate chips.
