The Pancake Parlour - CBD

The Pancake Parlour – Bourke St. Mall

Served in a mug with the famous “Lovely” lady on it. And served with two marshmallows already in froth. I didn’t particularly like that idea; I prefer to eat my marshmallows however I want. On the plus side though that does help balance that froth between sweetness and darkness. Also there could be a bit more of it. The chocolate is stirred down the bottom and it has a great temperature. But the flattery stops there. The mixture is not particularly thick but is very bitter. It does become the tiniest bit sweeter in the middle, but then turns bitter again towards the end. This flavour isn’t even a nice dark cacao flavour it’s just plain bitter. No choc shot at end but it is slightly thicker.

Summary: It’s called the “Hot Marshmallow Chocolate” on the menu, but I don’t see how the drink revolves around these. Perhaps to distract people from the intensely strong flavour. My suggestions… 1. Load it up with 37 sugars or 2. Buy the “Vienna Chocolate” Now that’s delicious!
