Went to Max Brenner's Chocolate Bar (8 Raffles Avenue, #01-06/08 Esplanade Mall) on Friday afternoon. I couldn't eat any solid food due to the extraction of a wisdom tooth in the morning, so took solacement in some chocolate. I ordered suckao, a unique invention by Max Brenner. You combine chocolate chips and milk in a potppouri-like aparatus, warmed by a tea-light candle. When the chocolate chips and milk are well combined, you sip the mixture through a metal straw. It is wonderful! My friend ordered a chocolate with orange peel which came in a hug-mug, a mug without handles and is meant to be hugged by both hands while drinking. This chocolate drink is also very nice. I want to go back and try their Mexican chocolate with chili flakes, which I first experienced in Seattle while dinning in Yarrow Bay Grill.
