Chocolate Brands You Can Buy and Try Worldwide
I have been researching chocolae for days. The famous names in chocolate have spread worldwide. I recently gave a speech about chocolate to two toastmasters clubs in Singapore. The first time I visited Eminent at Dell business, an inhouse club, whose members travel a lot.
I had looked around Valu$, the cheapest shop for chocolate in Singapore, just near Changi airport, and near Dell's office. In Valu$ I saw several of my favourite brands. I wanted to pass around some chocolate. I was worried that I would not have enough chocolate and had a secodn bar ready. However, when I passed around a bar which could be broken into small pieces, it was sufficient for under 20 people. I think one or two people did not eat sweet items. Dieting, diabetics, whatever.
Next I gave a similar talk at Braddell Heights Advanced speakers' club, whose members knew a lot about chocolate. When I asked, "Does anybody have a favourite brand?", one woman immediately called, "Godiva!" Two of the men shouted agreement.
Singapore is a hot country. But chocolate is still popular and the European and American brands are known..
I checked the various brands countries of origina and made a list:
BELGIUM
•Godiva, Brussels, Belgium.
•ENGLAND
•Cadbury World,
Birmingham, England, UK.

I enjoyed a great chocolate brownie containing nuts with creamy chocolate topping in the Sheraton Towers hotel. It was served at the Toastmasters International club TMCS, which meets the first three Mondays of every month, except sometimes dates very due to public holidays. Arrive at 6 pm for the pre-meeting buffet, 20 SGD (Singapore dollars) a rotating menu and one of the three meetings will have cake.
If you must eat chocolate, now. Try one of the chocolate shops for a variety of cakes containing chocolate.
•18-27 October 2019 Eurochocolate
Festival in Perugia, Umbria, Italy. The opening weekend starts with a giant sculpture of chocolate. Entry is free for the public. Expect lots of temptations! The local chocolate is Baci, containing a nut.

In Europe I immediately think of Alprose. We went there from lake-side Lugarno on a train which has a face on the front.
•SWITZERLAND
•Alprose, Switzerland.
Alprose Chocolate museum in Switzerland
They have a giant shop. Even if you visit at the weekend when the factory is not working, the static machines with long conveyor belts are impressive.
RUSSIA

USA
I stopped at a chocolate shop in New York. It was not a museum, but so many types of chocolate, it was like a museum.
