A LITTLE AWAY-FROM-HOME NAUGHTINESS?

10 February 2011

Oh, come on, we all like to get up to a little mischief when we’re away from home.  For those looking to misbehave, Langham Place hotel in Hong Kong will now offer all guests some naughty bedside reading: The ‘We Won’t Tell If You Don’t’ in-room chocolate menu.

The menu features morsels of chocolate decadence 20 different ways.  Each chocolate is handcrafted daily by the hotel’s team of chocolatiers.  Standout pleasures on the menu include the beetroot and raspberry vodka jelly in dark chocolate, or for something a little spicy, the pink peppercorn and strawberry dark chocolate truffle is sinfully good.

Guests can select any four for HK$48 or any eight for HK$78, which will then be delivered to the guest’s room.

“We’re always looking for new ways to give our guests’ experiences a sparkle,” says executive chef Paul McLoughlin.  “Our chocolatiers are mad about anything sweet so had a lot of fun in the ‘testing’ stages.  The plan moving forward is to change and extend this menu every six months, adding more adventurous and exquisite chocolates as the concept catches on.”
