7 layer choco cake, Epoch, Quarry Bay, HK

A set dinner with a salad or soup, main course, a cake and a coffee at HK$98 with 20% off for Hang Seng bank credit card when spending over $200. On separate order, it would be $25 (salad), $68 (main course), $32 (cake), $30-35 (Illy coffee). Why not for a dinner set at half price.
1. 7 layer choco cake. I treated it as my main course. From the bottom, its a crispy choco flakes, then brownie, sponge, mouse, fudge, praline and a thin. Take one bite and feel a mini-cosmo choco inside your mouth. Epoch uses some very refined choco. Smooth, melty, aromatic and not too sweet. Such a gift for yourself after a long hassling week.
2. Well, I would take it as a co-course to the 7 layer cake. Anyway, it's also very nice - stew cheek beef. It tastes quite similar to ox-tongue.
3. A complimentary milk pudding. Green tea and choco. Very smooth and chill and I like the way Epoch makes the cake/dessert not too sweet; so you can taste the real flavour.

It is a big bargain for this dinner set.
This 7-layer choco cake main course looks delicious.
I also like the thousand-level cake in Chinese dim sum dish too.

Most of all the waiters/waitresses are pretty smart and attentive when suggesting some food and cakes for you.

Thanks Anonymous. I almost did but the one in K-11 didn't have any sit-in dining. Seems like they only serve take-away.
