Media Tasting at Kallang Wave Mall
I’m glad to be invited to the media tasting for the media tasting of the Dark Chocolate Gelato and enjoyed a great night out with Sis on her Birthday~
We were welcome by Kian Yong, General Manager of Chocolate Origin, and his team with their broad cheerful smile which sort of helps to chase away the tiredness after a long working day.

“The inspiration behind Chocolate Origin’s Dark Chocolate Gelato was for our customers to enjoy our chocolate ganache cakes in the form of a gelato especially with the hot weather we’ve been experiencing recently,” said Kian Yong, General Manager of Chocolate Origin. He also shared that the new gelato recipe is the fruit of spending hours in the R&D room in order to tweak it to suit Singapore’s palate and they are very happy with the final product.

“That is one part of my job that I truly enjoy; the tasting of the different types of chocolates from all over the world,” Kian Yong commented. “The success of our stores in Singapore has spurred us to provide more to our fans and the addition of the new gelato flavour is a perfect addition to our carefully curated menu.”
After indulging in the pool of rich chocolate products – my favourite cuppa lava cake, hot chocolate with a cute pooh bear, sharing milk chocolate and dark chocolate cake with Sis and fellow bloggers, and of course the star of the night – newly launch Dark Chocolate Gelato, we were given an assignment. We were to do up a latte art with Chocolate Origin’s new DIY latte art kit.
