Thought this was going to be expensive considering the location but $5.00++ did not hurt the wallet so bad considering how I ordered this pretty much without looking at the price tag. Thought the choux pastry was a well-executed one considering how the pastry was light and crisp on the exterior. Much of the pastry is filled with a smooth and luscious chocolate mousse within, whilst topped off with and aromatic vanilla mousse over the top; a sponge cake soaked in coffee is hidden somewhere in the middle — a surprise element that brings the "tiramisu" into this dessert whilst dusted with chocolate powder over the top. Though the pastry was pretty much on point, the cream puff felt a little remote from being an item that replicates the classic Italian dessert, especially considering how the chocolate seemed to be the most dominant flavour here. A pity how this also seemingly lacked an alcoholic punch; perhaps a move to keep it kids-friendly to the young guests that may visit the hotel lounge.
