We got a great surprise today... while we were watching a movie in our room, there was a knock on the door. The hotel management sent up a hand signed invitation inviting us to attend a buffet dinner especially for Christmas Eve. How nice is that?
First came the scrolled letter tied with a big fat red satin bow. Then about thirty minutes later, the catering manager presented us with a special desert plate and wished us "Happy Christmas!"
I peeled the plastic off so you can see the yummy goodness.
In one dark chocolate shell are some chocolate covered nuts. In the other one, there are freshly made 'macaroons' which are more like meringue cookies. They just melt away on your tongue and they've flavored differently and colored them in all pretty pastel colors. Backing up the presentation is a dark chocolate bar made with a
Greek key pattern. They had it standing up vertically to keep the plastic from crushing the cups. And as the base for the whole thing is a honeyed hard shell candy circle. Really! The plate is edible!! Not the white china one, the base is though.
Amazing, really. I think it was very nice of them to go all out for Christmas when it's not even their holiday. What a nice gift on this Christmas Eve.
