Given that many people's moods are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate,it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & Chocolate Factory ,Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility has over 100 varieties of chocolate. Its founder is Chris Leewho grew up at his parent's corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea,that's because Lee is not merely aseasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored chocolates.
The CRF's produce is green,made within the country and divided into 10lines,with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series——with Sichuan pepper,red bean,cheese and other flavors——also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocalate snobs,who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo,Cuba,Venezuela,and Ghana,among others
