Chocz.

I couldn’t possibly eat chocolate just once a year. To get my fix, I do have to travel and make a special trip and I don’t normally travel just for one thing. So when I have the cravings and am too lazy to make a special trip, I get Chocz. as I happen to pass by it once a week.

Singapore brand Chocz., which started in 2001, specialises in Swiss chocolate. Their Swiss chocolates are made in Singapore whilst the Leonidas Chocolates from Belgium are airflown here once a week.

Amongst the Swiss range, I like the Dark Truffle, Cappuccino, Exquisite and Almond Rocher Dark. Their Mango Truffle does not taste like mango at all. However if you are not set on tasting mango, it is quite nice; the paste goes well with the white chocolate and it is not that sweet. Sadly, their Good Night (dark sesame paste in milk ganache) also does not have strong sesame flavour. The best dark sesame paste chocolate I feel is from Canelé.

If you have not noticed by now, I have a preference for Belgian and dark chocolates. Hence for Leonidas Chocolates, which has both a dark and milk chocolate variety for every flavours, I naturally go for the dark variety. Leonidas Chocolates do tend to have a nutty flavour. If it is a Leonidas, I will eat it!

Chocz. chocolates are priced at $19.80 per 100 gm. Currently there is a promotion where you will get 20% discount if you buy at least 200 gm of their Swiss range. For their Belgian range, you need only to buy at least 100 gm to get 20% discount. That’s only $15.84 per 100 gm of Leonidas! Load it up man!!
