One morning, I wanna treat my 11-year-old daughter. I wanna treat her for being a good girl., After I watch a movie with my 16-year-old daughter, “ Arianne”, I’m sure Joana also wants to have quality time with me alone. And my friend Rochelle is not working, and she wants to join us. She's also asking me to go out, but I told her I’m planning to bring Joana to the chocolate factory. She joined us. It was our first time, and my daughter was happiest. My friends also smiled, ready to explore. I felt curious, like we were starting a little adventure together. From our house in Kajang, Selangor, we took a Grab car in just 20 minutes, and we paid the Grab ride Rm18 or 4.26usd. the factory is located in Sri Kembangan, it’s just near our place, also in the same city, Selangor. As we got closer, we smelled cocoa and sugar in the air.

We looked at each other and laughed—we already knew the visit would be special. The factory started long ago with a small family. They used simple tools and recipes, making chocolate slowly and with care. Their goal was to keep it cheap so everyone could enjoy. The factory grew bigger, but they still kept the same spirit—good work, good taste, and sharing joy. We walked slowly, looking at old photos. My daughter liked the pictures of big chocolate. My friends pointed at the old machines, once used to wrap candies. We also saw colorful chocolate bars. It felt like looking back into the past. The walls and boards had writings, like scriptures or sayings. Some said, “Good chocolate takes time.” Others said, “Sweet things bring people together.” These words were simple but beautiful. They made us think that chocolate was more than food—it was about joy, family, and sharing.

Then we entered the shop. To our surprise, the chocolates were very cheap. Shelves were full of bars, boxes, and truffles. My daughter picked a milk chocolate bar and said it would be her souvenir. My friends filled their bags with small packets to bring home. I chose a mixed box with many flavors, so we could taste them together. It felt like being kids again in the shop. Each chocolate had a note about its taste—some with coffee, some fruity, some rare. We had fun looking and picking. After buying, we sat outside on a bench. We opened the wrappers and shared. My daughter laughed as she ate. My friends compared flavors. I tasted mine slowly and smiled. The chocolate was good, but being together was better. Our first visit gave us happy memories, and my daughter wanted to return with her siblings. I smiled and said yes. Some places are too sweet to visit only once. We will plan to come back in December, just nice we need to buy chocolate for Christmas, and my gay son is also coming for the Christmas celebration, we will come back as a complete family.
