I know how you feel about pricey food... being frugal is definitely a virtue in life haha. Having said that, I prefer quality over quantity, even on things that are free.

I skip most food not because of the financial cost but for their cost on health, being in the food line, we are faced with food 24/7. this morning I had a cheese cake tasting,
cold cheese cake in the morning, just imagine, some were made with raspberries, omg. Usually I will just spit it out but today I let myself induge because I love cheese and a good
cheesecake is hard to come by. I don't even drink the wines served during weddings, they are just empty calories, I don't buy candy-type chocolates off the shelves, which means I save quite a bit from not buying all these things like potato chips, candy, sweets, chewing gum, bad wine, bad coffee, bad tea. Then once in a while I buy a really good chocolate, really good tea, really good wine. and I prefer to pay for that one glass of wine (in calories and in RM) then 20 glasses of wine that I won't even remember after 10 minutes. Forgive the rambling.

OK will PM you the details once the invitation is out. Cheers.

I think its time for me to indulge in the good and freshness of quality food. I just get to know someone who prepare such a good yogurt with a steeper price but it could fill my tummy for the rest of the afternoon and i dont feel lethargic after that as compare to eating my usual economy rice. Now in the morning, i just took about 4-5 gm of dark chocolate for an empty stomach. Me too sharing the same experience when reading labels in chocolate shelf, i dont even tempted to buy even the most branded chocolate bcos its now under my nose. Without much hassle, i just made praline anytime. If i want gianduja, i freshly made it by doing hand temper , some kind of theraphy for me. I will only buy the expensive chocolate once in a while .

Thanks for the invitation ,nebulaguava .
Felchlin is a good brand and i will try out some of the chocolate recipe with felchlin .
I really like the milk choc, it's incomparable . honestly speaking, it's so smooth and have a fabulous mouthfeel.

Pleasure. I'm with you on the mouthfeel. and Felchlin is technically sound -- texture, particle size, finish, flavor profile, it is all there. I'm hoping to do a cross tasting some day perhaps with Valrhona thrown into the mix. Cheers.

Thats great, i shall bring some of my finished chocolate for tasting and let you judge too . Perhaps we could do it after new year . I like to try your cocoa , how lucky you are . My dad used to plant cocoa trees when i was young but never had a chance to appreciate it in the 80s.

We hope to see more taster join us and taste for themselves. See ya
