Two of us took a Basic Swiss Chocolate Making Class. It was a relaxed class with delicious outcomes. I learned a lot and have confidence to start playing with real chocolate now.

*Attention Chocoholics!!!* Some months ago, I chanced upon a precious hidden gem in Joo Chiat but I forgot to mention it. Today, I had a craving and went again. Introducing the amazing Chef Reto Marzari from Switzerland! The Chocolate Atelier, located at 253 Joo Chiat Road, offers a variety of cookies, chocolates, pralines and pastries all made by the man himself. Chocolate-making and baking classes (I promise I'll join soon) are also regularly conducted by Chef Marzari, who has over 50 years of experience in the trade! But let me tell you what's so amazing about Chef Marzari... He makes one of the most awesome chocolates I've tasted. His chocolate truffles are an absolute joy! His chocolates makes you very happy, they take you on an emotional journey as you savour them one by one. I'm not kidding or exaggerating, it really is THAT good! I never liked the combination of orange and chocolate, but after tasting his orange chocolate praline, I'm an instant fan! He uses the best ingredients for his chocolates! No nonsense artificial stuff. He knows his craft and he works his magic very well. But Chef Marzari is very old, and that's worrying. So please do go get them while you can! Haha. I promise that you, like myself, would wish you had found this place sooner. His chocolates are really a MUST-TRY! Believe me. I'm certain you'd find yourself going "Mmmm!!!..." with pleasure when you pop a truffle in your mouth. Haha! It's orgasmic!
