Chocoholics Lovers!!! It’s a pleasure to welcome one of the sweetest days of the year – World Chocolate Day on 7 July 2024!
On this special day, take your time to celebrate all kinds of chocolate, whether your tastes skew towards dark, white, or nutty.
To satisfy your chocolate curiosities, here are five facts you may not know about one of the earth’s oldest desserts and how you can celebrate this World Chocolate Day.
Chocolate goes back to 1500 B.C.
ROYCE’s chocolate offerings truly taps into pure, cacao flavours to satisfy a curious sweet tooth – think pistachio, caramel, and berries. Could we say, Mayan and Aztec approved? Paris Baguette honours the Aztec tradition of drinking their desserts with their signature sweet iced chocolate.
Of course, we’re happy to recommend Christine’s Bakery to fully indulge in your chocolate fantasies, where the newly-released ‘Choco-Bliss’ bagel resides. With this much sweetness, we think you’d be battle-ready in no time.

Astronauts can bring chocolate up to space!
Even in space, astronauts do not miss out on the delights of chocolates, and are allowed to bring chocolates in their “bonus containers”. Unfortunately, their choices have to be space-safe, so most are unable to indulge in the chocolatey goodness of mixed, melted, and even grilled chocolate.
On the ground, we say thanks for our multitude of choices, such as the specialty King Waffle at Asuka Cafe.
If you’re feeling a bit more cheeky (and want to be a little bit of a show-off to those NASA astronauts), toss a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to your chocolate dip when you grab a quick bite at Street Churros.

The largest chocolate bar is approximately 4,125 square feet
Let’s get one thing straight – we’d never encourage you to eat a 4,125ft chocolate bar all by yourself, even though it could be tempting. So, let’s head to the next best thing – the 4,000ft chocolate bar, all broken up into little, decadent pieces.
If you’re looking for a little taste of heaven (but not too much!), stop by Chez Choux to pick up some of their chocolate eclair cream puffs.

The chocolate chip cookie was invented by accident!
Meanwhile, the Belgian chocolate chip cookies from Lavender are to die for, while Zus Coffee’s Dark Chocolate Zus Bites would be a healthier alternative.

The trend of chocolate-topped ice cream started in the 1920s
Thank you to Harry Burt, the first man that’s ever topped the frozen goodness of ice cream into a warm chocolate mix. From the 1920s, the goodness of an ice cream sundae simply can’t be topped. If you’re looking for the same experience with frozen treats that was started nearly a century ago, make a pitstop at llaollao and enjoy their frozen yoghurt base, coated with rich chocolate syrup and a variety of toppings.
On that same note, you can also enjoy Baskin Robbins’ famous Chocolate Overload ice cream for a mouthful of rich, fudgy goodness, and for a more affordable option, MIXUE’s ice cream menu is extensive enough, with just the right number of chocolate-based choices – like their classic chocolate sundae, or an indulgent cookie sundae.
