The usual scenario:
I walk down the alley of Takashimaya Basement,
see the chocolate devilish stalls of Godiva, Laurent Bernard and then turn my back and walk out.
A piece of Godiva chocolate no bigger than my pinkie finger for over SGD26 per 100grams ? Heck No.
I'd just whisper:
Buh bye Go0od...........deiiiii.......Vaaaaahhhh…
haha.
The only brand I usually buy when am there is Royce.. and still, I find them pricey.
Yes am craving for a choco bar... but I was like f that.

So most of the times I buy myself Snickers, damage is less than S$10.
A Kinder Bueno is even less than $5 hehe.
There are two E's in mind everytime I see those choco labels:
Exquisite
Expensive

They must have all the best things you can expect from a fine-tasting chocolate right?
Smooth, creamy, excellent taste and the like.
Overall, these chocolates are flawless.
To top it all off, they are marketed as fancy chocolates.
But come to think of it sweetie,
if you like chocolate, do you mind spending a little extra to go to heaven?
And besides if ever I'd splurge, I won't eat those chocolates.
They are meant to be SAVORED;
I'd let them rest on my tongue for a minute or so,
then enjoy the bliss it gives.
To my surprise, I happened to meet Mr. David Tan.
He is the Director cum Owner of BOXUP SG.

UNBOXING
The chocolates were housed inside a black box adorned with a slim silver ribbon. Minimalist design with words "Sweet Treats" printed on it; (which I think can somehow confuse the consumers in a way). There was a pamphlet with all the information of what is inside the box.
