Last week I went to ION with the sole purpose of purchasing some gym gear. A part of me deeply regrets being dropped off at the level 1 taxi stand! Smack in the center of the atrium is a colorful art display which caught my eye, I stepped in only to realize its edible art!!! Oh no...food and art makes my creative mind go crazy!

| So colorful and fun! How can one resist? |
The staff were very happy to explain the concept of edible art, how to use it and even letting my friend Ina and I try some of the chocolate paint flavors. The Orange was a nice light orangey flavor without it tasting too overwhelming while the Dulce de Leche taste quite similiar to white chocolate. We were both very intrigued by the black chocolate which is the Smoked flavor. We couldn't decided if it tasted more like smoked duck or bacon! Retail prices are 1 jar for $15 and 3 for $40. So of course I bought 3- Orange, Passionfruit and Smoked! I am going to attempt to make my darling husband a Duck a l'Orange inspired chocolate for Valentine's! Hah...I don't know whether to laugh or cry at myself!

| The chocolate painting on display...I asked about ant problems but apparently they've never had any...(there is a layer of topcoat or lacquer on it) |
It wasn't a very big pop up store but there were enough things to pique my curiosity. I rarely have a sweet tooth or a craving for sweet things, but when I do, gummies definitely top my list! So I couldn't resist when I spotted massive gummy that looked like stained glass ($18). I bought it in grape flavor and chose the nicest pattern - although my dilemma now is that it's too pretty to eat! For an on-the-go pick me up, I bought a strawberry peach flavoured lollipop ($3). I still haven't tried it thought because its just so darned pretty!

| Reminds me of Greece and Santorini or maybe I just need a holiday badly! |
 |
| Chocolate that's too pretty to eat! |
 |
| If life was like this box of chocolates, it would be a lovely life indeed! |
The pralines definitely make lovely gifts for the more adventurous recipient and their eclairs are so stunning that its more an art piece than a dessert. Honestly, if we hadn't just finished tea I would have definitely walloped an eclair!
 |
| Eclairs! So beautiful and tempting, just waiting to be eaten! |
Oh, and then I remembered what I was there for- GYM GEAR!!! Time to get focused and move away from the chocolate and onto my original purpose!

| My haul |
**The pop up store will be at ION Level 1 Atrium till February 14th. But a little birdie did hint that they may be opening an actual store soon in ION...perhaps perhaps, we shall see.
