Chocolate Museum, Kota Damansara

For the love of chocolate. (My laptop is back, thus I'll be flooding my blog with stories!)

If you're a fan of chocolates, why not try to visit the first Chocolate Museum in Southeast Asia!



Located in the heart of the industrial zone in Kota Damansara, Chocolate Museum was built by DR Group Holdings Sdn Bhd on a 1.8ha area. Although the number of visitors has reached 50,000 visitors since January 2012 recently on January 16, 2014, the opening of the museum was formally implemented by the Minister of Tourism and Culture, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz. DR Group Holdings is also a producer of a local chocolate brand known as Danson, Fidani and Millton.

The museum is divided into several parts - Journey of Chocolates, tells the history of the journey of chocolate from cocoa beans from as early as 1500 BC. Father of Chocolate, featuring a Swiss pioneer in the manufacture of chocolate. Health Benefits of Chocolates, will tell visitors about the benefits and advantages of eating chocolate for health, Chocolate in the Industry, shared about the scale of the chocolate confectionery industry, the Chocolate Kitchen will demonstrate chocolate making demos for visitors who come to the museum and the Chocolate Galleria, a shop selling all kinds of famous brand of chocolate with as little as 30% - 50% cheaper than at the supermarket chocolate. Part of the museum is filled with maps, illustrations and interactive displays to improve the experience for visitors.
