Chocoholics anonymous!
Still in an indulgent mood post-Christmas? Well, The Ritz-Carlton has got a decadent little treat up its sleeve – and it involves chocolate… lots of it! Café 103 has lined up a special chocolate-tasting experience together with Valrhona where you get to enjoy three different varieties of the stuff (Tainori, Manjari and Guanaja) in three different forms (a pure chocolate piece, a ganache and a mini tart). We’re reckoning they’re probably all equally delicious too.
