This is a desperate call for help. I am on my "moontime" and have a huge chocolate craving. I've tried all sorts of chocolates on this trip, and have failed to find anything satisfying. :-( I think the problem is where we've been- Tanzania, Kenya, and now Egypt. These are all hot places (AFRICA hot), and chocolate does not seem to survive well out here. The chocolates I have bought (and eaten. hey, it's better than nothing... sometimes) are either stale-ish or taste very waxy. We bought chocolates for the wedding (under the advice of our tutors) and placed them in an inlaid box we had bought as a souvenir, and had a few left over. These were bought at a fancy chocolate shop/patisserie so we thought we had some decent chocolate, but no. They were really bad. :-( really.
*sigh* And looking forward, we seem to be moving even deeper into non-chocolate friendly territory.

Perhaps one of the larger grocery stores - like Alpha market or Carrefour, or a specialty shop in a big mall like City Stars might have your 'fix'?
There is an awesome cake shop downtown on Kasr El Aini. They make chocolate cakes that are to die for adn teh slices are totally affordable. I think Hubby usually pays about 5 pounds for one slice of cake. Chocolatey goodness and quite close to you i think. :)
I did go to Metro and buy some german chocolate. I'll have to find that bakery and check out the cake!
