One Perfect Taste: Choc-O-Lait Hot Chocolate

One of my favorite creative travel keys invites you to savor one perfect sip or bite. You know when you've come across a food that you want to last in your mouth forever.

When this happens, slow way down and savor that one perfect bite or sip.

One day in Amsterdam, I savored a perfect sip of the most delicious hot chocolate in the world...

The chocolate is a cube on a stick that you dip in hot milk...

Of course, it's recommended to lick the cube while it's all hot and milky...

then top with accompanying whipped cream for the perfect Amster-treat. 

I wanted to bring a case back but settled for a few of these Choc-O-Lait hot chocolates.

mmmmmmm..........

What's one perfect taste that you've experienced on the road or at home? What one perfect taste will you savor today?

Cynthia, This looks SO GOOD! Looking at the photos kind of makes me want to lick the screen... :)

While my friend and travel companion would say the corbina at Pinpilinpausha in Santiago, Chile, my savoring memory was at a small restaurant in the Barrio Bellavista. A seafood stew with all kinds of fish and shellfish in a tomato broth. Yum!

I samppled the fare from a Bellavista seafood restaurant as part of a food event connected with convention a few years ago. Don't know whether it was the same one, but I KNOW I've ever had hot chocolate like the heavenly cup that stars in your post.

Moira and Claire, I want some of that seafood stew! It sounds great!

I've been having fun learning to take better photos. That hot chocolate lives in high regard in my memory.

I do think photographing food moments makes them last longer. Sometimes you feel foolish or get tired of photographing food. In those moments I sketch the meal, which also helps me slow down to eat it!
