iHop, Waikiki

iHop specialises in pancakes and meals in Waikiki. After some confusion Merkel and Myrtle worked out that they could get a hot chocolate and a coffee.

The hot chocolate list price was $2.59 but the tradition in US establishments is that tax and service (tip) is extra on top of this. The hot chocolate was topped with sweetened whipped cream. The drink was rich and chocolaty but sweet like the Cadbury’s hot chocolate that Merkel had on the flight.
