The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

It was only a few
years ago that the world became a better place and life began to make more sense: the chocolate fountain was introduced to the open market; a wonderful
machine creating deliciously fluid chocolate.

Before, we only found chocolate
fountains at weddings and birthday parties, but nowadays you can also reach
chocolate delirium in Citystars. Choco Falls is a small
stand located in front of Golden Cinema on the ground floor of Citystars.

Choco Falls
has quite some chocolate dipping options, such as fruit, crêpes, waffles,
marshmallows, brownies and so on. Choco Falls uses only Belgian chocolate from
the chocolate house of Callebaut; a one-hundred-year-old brand famous for its
quality chocolate.

This
reviewer opted for the wafflestick (10LE), a fruit and choco bowl (10LE) and
the chocomallow crêpe (20LE). The Christmas tree-shaped wafflestick was a little
bit floppy, and we suspect that the waffle itself would have tasted bland without
the chocolate. However, the dark chocolate on top was wonderful and absolutely
made up for the floppy wafflestick.

If you
want to keep it a little bit healthy; then opt for the fruit and choco bowl.
There are different kinds of fruit to choose from such as apple, banana, kiwi,
cantaloupe and mango, but we were a bit disappointed that there were no
strawberries. We dipped our fruit into white chocolate, which was absolutely
delicious. The white chocolate tasted wonderful and combined with the zesty fruit,
it was a little like chocolate heaven on earth.

We were ecstatic
about trying the chocomallow crêpe, which we asked to be filled with milk
chocolate. The crêpe is freshly baked on the spot, then filled with
marshmallows and covered in chocolate sauce. While it sounds and looks great, the end
result was a bit disappointing. The combination of the marshmallows and crêpe
was a bit dry and needed more chocolate filling to make it tastier. However, Choco
Falls may have intentionally cut back on the filling so as to avoid giving you
a chocolate overdose.

The
staff at the Citystars branch is friendly, and you definitely get your value for
money with these small but tasty snacks. Make sure you get your chocolate shot
the next time you are in Citystars.
