Don't come past this building often - but heard that famous Italian chef, BOMBANA UMBERTO of Toscana and The Drawing Room fame will be opening his new Otto e Mezzo restaurant here, but its actually not opened as yet.

Came to La Maison Du Chocolat for another try of HOT CHOCOLATE - this time picked the purist's version without the added bourbon and vanilla. The CARACAS version is quite rich and thick, its actually very good. To others, it might be slightly too sweet but for me it was tolerable and the dark chocolate base from Venezuala is quite addictive and as much as I like Jean Paul Hevin's chocolates, this Hot Chocolate trumps the one I had recently over there! Although here, it has none of the fresh berries taste one normally associates with this type of terroir derived chocolate bean.
Its a bit 'toned down' to be more acceptable by everyone, similar to many of their chocolate pieces bar the more loyal to region Chocolate Bars - but at least its not diluted with too much milk like JPH. However, I previously criticised the VERO Hot Chocolate version for being a tad too sour and fruity too. As always - there's OFTEN 2 SIDES TO A STORY, SOMETIMES.... MORE!
