Love18

Love18 seems like an ordinary name, it sure is but the meaning behind the ordinary name is a couple's love. It is their anniversary remembrance and also the reason why they started their own little lovely chocolate business. It takes a lot of passion to be running and making their own chocolate - it is really not easy to do all the research and to produce these good quality chocolates.

Some of the chocolate sampling - boy those dark chocolate are really bitter! I'm not really a fan of dark chocolate - but I have to admit these chocolates are definitely not the low grade ones you get off shelves. These will melt if it is exposed to heat, as they use premium ingredients, real cocoa butter to craft them. Those little pink wrappers are bittersweet champagne truffles which melts in the mouth!!

Apart from chocolates, they also have cakes and coffee just like any other lifestyle cafes.

Some of the samples we got for the day from top left to bottom right:

Mango chocolate and strawberry chocolate. I did not quite like the fruit flavouring - I find it a little too artificial, I actually prefer the chocolate by itself.

We were given a little history of cocoa beans and where to find them. Just like coffee, chocolate is best taken with little, well actually some would say no sugar at all, to taste the best.

We were also very privileged to be able to see how they make their chocolates. Room temperature is very important in their kitchen as you don't want some of these hard work to melt off!

All of us received a wonderful goody bag from Love18, and thank you very much Eddie for sharing the love with all of us!

Special thanks to Eddie and wife for hosting and KetchUp's team for organising.
