iR CHOCO CAFE

A. Treat yourself to the Choco Fondue (NT$480), sure to melt away your taste buds. The superb quality Swiss chocolate really makes a difference.

B. The outdoor seating area is perfect for a choco break on a summer day.

This new cafe -- offering all different kinds of chocolate drinks (NT$90-120), imported chocolate, and light fare -- is not to be missed. Taiwan Fun was lucky enough to sit down with Sylvia Munzhuber, the Taiwanese-Swiss owner, for a brief history lesson in chocolate. This lady does chocolate, and she does it right. For a great gift that you might not want to give away, take a look at the boxed selections (NT$80-720), including the fashionable Grand Cru Praline that will take you to Madagascar, Ecuador and back. Don't be afraid to experiment with some new flavors, including a chili-essenced hot chocolate, inspired by the ancient Mayans and definitely a winner. If you're looking to embrace the world of chocolate, this is the place to go. --By Julia Koprak, translated by Jean Huang
