HAVE you ever wondered how it feels to be in a chocolate factory?
Scenes from the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will surely pass through your mind the moment you see the two magical words – chocolate and factory.

Beryl’s Chocolate Factory gives the opportunity for everyone to be a part of that craze, except that there are no magical candies or drinks or teleportation machines but visitors get a 5% discount on all products at the showroom, including the merchandises.
Beryl’s chocolate factory is a Malaysian brand and it has successfully penetrated markets in other Asian countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Macau. It recently entered the Dubai market.
There are over 70 different types of chocolates under this brand and they include flavours such as Almond, Butterscotch, Peanut Butter, Raisin, Dark Chocolate, Mint, Tiramisu, Strawberry, and a lot more.
The hot items currently in the market are the Durian and Chilli flavoured ones.
Believe it or not, the Durian-flavoured chocolates are a bigger hit in Taiwan than in Malaysia and 50% of the chocolate production is exported.

Sweet hearts: Beryl’s chocolates come in different shapes and sizes. |
Its assistant marketing executive Nor Zeehan Rosle says that organisations and societies interested in making field trips there are welcome to join in the fun.
“We will be giving them a grand tour of the factory and our tour guides will assist them in case they are lost or have any questions.
“You need not worry about language barriers as we have guides who can speak in Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay or English,” Zeehan adds. However, you need to make the appointment earlier as they do not entertain last minute calls.
“This is because we need time to arrange everything, from the video room to the demonstration room, to the workers to make sure that there will be sufficient help to accommodate the number of visitors,” Zeehan explains.
In addition, there is a limit to the number of visitors for each tour of the factory.

“If you come with a few friends, then we might put you together with other visitors to fill the quota for each tour.”
Do not expect too much from this factory as the purpose of the visit is mainly educational and to show how chocolates are made.
But there’s good news in the offing as from next year visitors will be given the opportunity to make chocolates themselves and take them home.
“Initially we wanted to allow visitors to join in the fun of making the chocolates but found that we were not ready yet to include that in the agenda.
“However, rest assured that next year we will launch the do-it-yourself room where visitors can get a hands-on experience of how these sweet treats are made,” Zeehan says.
The factory is located at No.2, Jalan Raya 7/1, Kawasan Perindustrian Seri Kembangan, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor.

I've never ever forgotten you
I've only thought of you
Then what are you? Have you forgotten me?
Tears of deceit are falling from my eyes
Should I look for you? I thought about it
I I don't really know
As this world turns
I only have you
I've got no words to say I can't do it anyway
I have no tears I have no feelings
I'm standing in front of you look at me
The boy who lived right behind you
The promised time has come
I'm in front of you
Though I'm crying in fear
You wiped my tears
You took my hand
It will happen
This happiness together
I paint you with my eyes closed
I found you in my heart
I can see the revealing light
We can't lose a chance at eternal happiness
Can you see me?
Please call me to your side
It will happen
I love you
Let's do it together with you forever
I've never ever forgotten you
I've only thought of you
Then what are you? Have you forgotten me?
Tears of deceit are falling from my eyes
The promised time has come
I'm in front of you
Though I'm crying in fear
You wiped my tears
You took my hand
It will happen
This happiness together
I paint you with my eyes closed
I found you in my heart
I can see the revealing light
We can't lose a chance at eternal happiness
Can you see me?
Please call me to your side
It will happen
I love you
Let's do it together with you forever
The message of happiness
That those green birds bring
Stays close in our hearts
I paint you with my eyes closed
I found you in my heart
I can see the revealing light
We can't lose a chance at eternal happiness
Can you see me?
You can call me whenever you need
Open up your mind
I'm in front of you
Please call me to your side
It will happen
I love you
Let's do it together with you forever
