Chocolate fountain lure at hotel
THE Traders Hotel Penang (formerly Shangri-La Hotel) has introduced a three-tier chocolate fountain for its Themed Temptations Buffet Dinner at its The Islander Restaurant.The chocolate fountain, the first of its kind in the city, is a cascading waterfall of warm, rich and fine melted chocolate. It is made from 500gm of chocolate and 100gm of cocoa butter.
The chocolate fountain comes complete with skewered fresh fruits, dried fruits, marshmallows and wafers for diners to dip, coat and plunge their favourite food items into the flowing chocolate.
According to the hotel's press release, the stainless steel machine for the chocolate fountain was imported from Hong Kong at a cost of RM14,000.
The machine has an internal screw mechanism that flows the chocolate to the top of the fountain. It also has an internal heater that automatically keeps the chocolate at 38 to 40 degrees Celsius to prevent it from hardening.
The chocolate fountain is now a daily attraction at The Islander.
Traders Hotel assistant communications manager Saw Wei Wei said the chocolate fountain was popular among adults, too.
She added that diners enjoyed coating and dipping food items into the flowing chocolate.
Patrons can try the chocolate fountain at the Themed Temp-tations Buffet Dinner from 6pm to 9.30pm daily.

Hehehe..I've had the chocolate fountain in Singapore for the Law Careers Fair treat. It's quite a common sight in Singapore now. They are even selling mini ones for home users at about S$100. Can get quite 'jelak' after a while.
