Have you seen people on Tik Tok getting their croissants dipped into a hot chocolate in a beautiful café in Paris, and here are you wondering why? Well, we've got an answer for you! This particular hot chocolate is from the legendary Angelina Paris café, one of the oldest café located in Paris, France.
Built since 1903, people have been coming here for its signature hot chocolate. What makes this hot chocolate unique is how incredibly luscious and rich it tastes in this drink. Composed of three selected kinds of African cocoa from Nigeria, Ghana, and Cote d'Ivoire, these cocoa are combined with Angelina's best-kept secret recipe that made this hot chocolate so famous today. Join other TikTokers scooping a dollop of cream, mixing it into the hot chocolate, and dipping the croissant to experience the truly special Paris café experience.

Rated at 4.4 stars on Google review, this is one of the few Halal-certified cafés available in the small town of Ubud that is worth a visit. No need to worry regarding your prayer activities as there is a prayer facility on its second floor to accommodate Muslim travelers.
