Comments on: Sugar Hit 2009, Hotel Inter Continental http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/10/18/sugar-hit-2009-hotel-inter-continental/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

And I could not taste the chilli. at all... some people could but most of us couldn't. there was quite a few of us that are habitual chilli eaters but the chilli was so mild that a few that avoid all chillis could barely taste it. went to this particular sugar hit as part of a friend’s bday celebration (there was close to 20 of us so a looong table full of the same sugar hit stretched all the way down lol).

If you're complaining of small portions then skip Bilson's. Not the bar, the actual restaurant. Their petit fours are miniscule but it was a lovely dessert ranked up there with Incontinental's. Give the Marriot's Macquarie Lounge a go, with lovely live music playing, the ambience is more party friendly but less intimate than the Cortile Lounge. A friend of mine recommended your blog, and it's very lovely. I went to the Intercontinental the past Saturday and it was by far the best so far.

Something I should rectify soon I reckon! :P I don't think I'd like my chilli to be too hot though - it would be terrible if it overpowered the chocolate. Hehe.

I like my spicy chocolate to be spicy indeed, but usually rounded out with other flavors like cinnamon. Ooh that does look comforting.
