Maybe you should suggest to them to just redirect their website directly to your video as their website is still coming soon. Love the chocolate but why advertise your website on everything and have nothing to show for it. Nice video Philip.

Being American, it is an acquired taste and she had asked me to purchase her a jar. My friends said, we have something better ~ VEGEMITE CHOCOLATES. So they took me down and I purchased a dozen of them for her for Christmas. I'll let you know Christmas Day how they were, but judging from the other mouthwatering treats in the case, I am sure they will be a hit!!!

Goddamn you. DAMN THOSE CHOCOLATES LOOK GOOD!

Me too I've already been to the shop several times - absolutely love it!!! My favorite is the Rocher Ball!! One day I will get fat from these! LOL But there is something wrong in the article - I talked to the chef and he told me that ONLY the chocolate itself was from Belgium - he and his recipes are French!!!! Not to mess up people! ;-) Apart from that - very good article!! And a question to Carlo: Do you work for Monsieur Truffe? The way you talk about Shocolate sounds like they were your new business rivals!! Take it easy buddy!! Hello everybody!!

I tasted the shocolate the other day and it did not win me over, plus the surrounding are a touch...trite?...despite being only 100 metres from my daily place of work I will still take the trip down good old Smith Street for that fix of cocoa.. mmm in my humble opinion nobody so far can beat the rough diamond ambiance and superb bitter chocolate flavours of Monsieur Truffe, especially not a place called …Shocolate?
