Went there today.

It was, rather disappointing. =/

I would expect more variety of chocolates to be given out but sadly i saw around 10 types, 8 are with nuts and the rest are without. I didnt really see much of other flavours when i went around 1PM, most of them are nutty ones, mint and peanut butter but when i went into the shop, there were more inside than the ones outside x30 =.=

Ever considered if those people who love chocolates cant takes nuts? A bit more on the no-nut chocolates would be nicer.

Even the staff are not well prepared because she didn't know what flavour was 1 of the chocolate i asked because it was without a place card.

Albeit the chocolate was delicious, i guess the cons were more than the pros. If there was sessions for different chocolate, I think it should be stated earlier than going there full of expectations but coming back disappointed.

I beg to differ.
Probably is because this thread made me lower my expectation by a lot but it's technically a chocolate buffet although it's pretty "low class"

I was there at 3pm today and there are more then 10 types of chocolate which is constantly replenished. If you wait longer, you'll probably see different type of chocolates too.

It's all free. You CAN take as many as you want and there are more then enough to go around.

Yes it is crowded and you have to queue.

But the queue move relatively fast and I did not spend any longer then 2-3 minutes to get the chocolates.

As for the taste of the chocolates? It's pretty good, although they lose points in class, but they make it up for being free.

jea..was only able to buy two different packages of chocolate that didn't contain nuts.

also just remembered, the whole place was built poorly. there was some stairs or something that were low as hell. rubbed the top of my head while walking through it, stupid structures!

i thought the mint chocolate was the best of what i got to try.

It still worked didn't it? despite the fact that so many people were disappointed, so many people suffered in the queue for so little, in the end they still made money. You complain and complain and complain, and still you buy what they make. Which is what I don't get. To me, if they pissed me off that much I wouldn't buy anything. Why would anyone buy anything from people they are disappointed and angered and frustrated by?

This is what I don't understand.

was that directed at me? because to me, service is not equivalent to what is being sold. if i'm being bothered by an annoying salesmen, i'd still buy whatever i was there for anyway.

ya, kinda weird with that kind of statement too.

btw i went there on saturday around 4pm+ and guard there already chasing ppl home, would not allow us to enter and said we can come back the next day.

so today, i went there around 9am+ and managed to get in and not crowded as bad as yesterday. maybe it is still early. chocolate for breakfast! biggrin.gif

btw here is few thing i noticed.

1) no refil, topup watsoever, like they said. i saw few ppl kinda frustated not being allowed to topup.
2) there is one chinese guy wearing white t-shirt, some sorf of boss or manager which being really annoying and rude to the customers there. he
i) scold those who put things on the piano (piano i think) quite loud and pointing to the 'Do not put anything' sigh few times. sigh
ii) remind the guard there to give only one cup (sort of cup) per one customer only. he reminds the guard there few times.keep going back and front just to remind that guard. lol.
iii) and i dont like him because he keep on checking what customers did, like remind them here and there. lol. very lousy. not very customer friendly.
3) for those who came today, u r lucky since it is not SUPER CROWDED like yesterday, i peek inside and can c it is FULL with ppl being detained inside that building in order to eat up all the chocolates. with no sitting bench at all, all of the customers stand up try to finish the chocolates with shoulder to shoulder touch cause the floor is so small with those stupid stairs and big piano there.

phailed event? erm...yes!

try better next time
