making chocolates is eZ

i remembered when i was small, there's this fantasy story book by Roald Dahl, "Charlie and the chocolate factory" talkin abt the adventures in a chocolate factory.

last monday i went to one, I'm sure my fellow coursemates are very familiar with this, "Beryl's Chocolate Factory" in Seri Kembangan. it was a simple factory, i mean it's simple and small, compared to a bread factory. n definitely not as complicated as i remembered in the story book.

Making chocolates is easy. First the 4 main ingredients: cocoabutter, cocoa mass, milk and sugar. These 4 items are ground and blended into one: chocolate powder. Deng deng deng! so chocolates are made using this chocolate powder. ;) easy, rite?

Now for a little advanced technology. Remember the round/oval hazel nut, almond chocolates in the supermarket? ever wondered how they're produced? Very simple also, first they pour all the nuts into a revolving pot, then slowly n steadily the chocolate powder is poured into the pot, a process tat lasted for 1hr +. the revolving activity allows the chcolate powder to stick onto the nuts, tat's how we got those round chocolate with nuts in the centre. ;) easy, rite?

on the way back to tadika school, as i was bz sending sms in the bus, the children suddenly chorused - word by word, very clearly. i was wondering, "wat's going on?" soon i found tat they're actuali singing in chorus the song, "tong hua" by guang liang. wow! they're just kindergarten n std 1 & 2 kids! n all of them were singing so loud, so proud of their voices even tho' most of them went off tune. n tat made me so proud of them also. After tat they followed with another song, "Lao Shu Ai Da Mi!"

oh my... i was reali amused with the kids, smiling ear to ear all the way till they reached the tadika. And one of them, an 8-yr ol boy looked exactly like Junior - Patrick's 10-mth-ol son - with the same grinny eyes, and smile. I wished i had my digi cam with me, then i can take his pic n keep it. ;)

adorable kids.
