Different people have their own preference for the texture of hot chocolate. Some prefer more viscous ones. I still remember when I was still a student back in Boston, I tried the dark chocolate in the famous store Burdick. The hot chocolate there was so thick that my friend described the tasting experience as "eating a chocolate bar". Some people like it, and some don't.

Angelina Paris is located in ifc's Lane Crawford, a relatively exclusive area.
There are not a lot of people dining at night. Just few couples enjoying the dinner set at Angelina Paris. I love the romantic atmosphere there especially with the French music.
*The ambience is quite different during day time, less romantic, more relaxing. You can even sit at the balcony, enjoy the harbourview and have your breakfast.
I have ordered their L'african (HKD88). The chocolate, cream and cup are served separately.
You need to pour the chocolate into the cup. From the velocity of the chocolate you can tell it is fairly viscous.

L'african looks like the hurricane in the storm after I add the fresh cream. Interestingly, the cream itself tastes like cotton candy. L'african ends with a nutty taste with the fresh cream. Some people think L'african is not worth the price. I agree that this is quite pricey, but I must also admit that this is one of the most quality hot chocolates I have ever drunk in Hong Kong.
Looking at the menu, I am totally drawn to Flore the rapsberry cake. Unfortunately, it is not available during this season.

The cream inside is one of the fresh ones I have ever tasted in my whole life. It is as soft and airy as the cloud in the sky. Its outer shell, however, is too sweet for me. Deep inside the crust of the mountain is the raspberry pieces which further balances the overall sweetness of the dessert. The base of the dessert is the biscuit as crispy and yet as sweet as sugar. I would prefer real chestnut to the sweet biscuit.

I have also tried Angelina Paris' Tart tout chocolat, which is crunchy, yummy but not so impressive. When you have too much cocoa crumble, you just prefer something less dry and irritaing to your throat. I do think this dessert is well made, but just that I am not a huge fan of crunchy dessert.

In short, Angelina Paris' pastries are high-quality but come at a price. Desserts, however, makes one irrational. I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier... from Angelina Paris, to my dream.
