Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! Ack!

When I arrived in France, "REAL" hot chocolate was high up on my list of must-try foods.  I was expecting molten chocolate, like in that scene from Chocolat, and several French blogs I followed swore that hot chocolate in France was completely different (read: better).  But every time I ordered chocolat chaud in a restaurant, I'd see the chef reach for instant powder mix and my heart would sink.  Everything I had in France was a watery disappointment.  We had a restaurant in Portland called Cacao that served better hot chocolate. :-/

But then, Angelina.  So chocolate.  Such thick.  Wow.  It was almost too much.  I didn't finish mine -- I think one order is enough for two people to split.  (There's some straight-up foodporn footage here if you want to see the hot chocolate in action.)
