Let me first confess that I am a fan of Angelina. I have been one ever since I got my first taste of their traditional hot chocolate back in 2013. Most recently, I was one of the few who were sadden by the closure of Angelina in IFC Hong Kong. Got the idea? I'm not just a casual fan. I'm a fanatic!
Of course, there was another reason behind this. After we got ourselves waken up by our little one at 7am, we have been looking for a place that opens early for breakfast at the Dubai Mall so we could have a quick one.
It turned out Angelina opens at 9am daily, which is very good news for those looking for an early bird breakfast near the mall.
Angelina's old-fashioned hot chocolate - This was served with a bit of whipped cream. A little heavy for someone with an empty stomach but very satisfying.
Angelina croissant - I had the croissant with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. This was very eggy and I could barely taste the croissant!
Angelina omelette - I thought better was the omelette with small pieces of ham, button mushrooms, tomato and cheese in the middle. It wasn't as cheesy as I first feared. It's almost like having a warm slice of crepes with all these wonderful ingredients. Pretty tasty.
Paris-New York - Is it too early for dessert? Absolutely not. The choux pastry could have been a little more pillowy but the silky smooth pecan praline cream and crunchy pecan praline kind of made up for it.
Now that I have been re-energized, I should have enough energy to explore this shopping mall which is absolutely huge.
We managed to take advantage of the free-of-charge photo kiosk tp snap a couple of photos with little nugget. He was of course a little camera shy in unfamiliar territory.
