Awfully Chocolate (Beijing Raffles Branch)
By Jennifer Pooley (bestfoodinchina.net)
Updated: 2009-09-02 17:55 The simple menu comprises indulgent chocolate cake with three varieties of double-layer filling: 'All Chocolate Cake’ (140RMB for 6”), ‘Chocolate Banana Cake’ (170RMB for 6”) and ‘Chocolate Rum & Cherry Cake’ (180RMB for 6”). All are also available in 8, 10 and 12 inch sizes although these must be pre-ordered two days in advance. This is rounded off by “Hei” (black) chocolate ice cream [25RMB for a single scoop, 45RMB for a double scoop or (for dedicated chocoholics) 80RMB for a pint], which we sampled and gave a resolute thumbs-up. Awfully chocolate also caters for Valentine’s Day and Christmas, and offers a selection of chocolate wedding cakes, the shape, size, flavour and decoration of which can be customised. The real icing on the cake (ahem) however, are the soon to be launched chocolate ‘moon cakes’, which will be available from the beginning of September right up until the mid-autumn festival which this year lands on October 3rd. |
