My experience with Royce was year 2001, when a friend of mine brought this precious back from japan as souvenir. after the first bite, it has became the most memorable bite ever in my life! later i found them in takashimaya in orchard, it is affordable which only cost sgd15!. which I think is fairly reasonable! My favorite is always the ROYCE NAMA CHOCOLAE, The chocolate are slightly bitter, and absolutely awesome if u are a fans of dark chocolate, it covered with cocoa powder. it taste velvety

They have a range of flavours to choose from as well if u arent a fans of dark chocolate

I'm a chocolate lover and would definitely not resist if I'm offered a box of chocolates, especially WHITE chocolate to finish all by myself. It is even more tempting if it's ROYCE as it's one of the branded chocolates in the market.It was sweet but not too overwhelming. I love how the chocolate melts slowly in my mouth (like all chocolate do) and it was definitely not as sweet as normal chocolate. I also didn't get sick of eating it and finished up the whole box at one go.

I finally got around to trying Royce's famed nama chocolate sometimes last year. According to Royce's website, this is made from "25% fresh cream from the lovingly tended cattle of Hokkaido". Awww... I love these cows from letting me enjoy such deliciously creamy chocolate!

Royce' nama chocolate is manufactured under the strictest hygiene conditions in their factory in Japan. You'll have to get through five "barriers" before you get get your hands on the chocs:
(i) the thoughtful thick silver packaging, accompanied by an ice pack, which preserves the integrity of the nama chocolate during your journey back home from the store
(ii) a paper wrapper
(iii) the box
(iv) a plastic wrapper
(v) the plastic cover of the container in which the chocolates sit in

I've tried three flavors of Royce's nama chocolates so far- bitter, grand marnier and cherry marnier. The last was a gift from someone who had just visited Bangkok and I don't think the cherry marnier flavor is available locally.

Each box of 20 retails for $15. A spoon is included to facilitate (compulsive!) eating.

Carefully picking a square up and placing it in your mouth, you sense the mild bitterness of the cocoa powder. As the chocolate starts to melt in your mouth, you delight upon tasting the cold fresh cream. Very quickly, you're greeted by a silky smooth sensation... and within a few seconds, the piece of chocolate is gone.
What do you do next? Pop another square into your mouth, of course!

I found the Bitter nama chocolate a tad too (errr...) bitter for me. Intensely dark, this flavor will please chocoholics who live on >75% cacao chocolate. As for the Grand Marnier and Cherry Marnier flavors, I liked how the mild alcoholic tinge complemented the chocolate. Subtle, that's the way I like alcohol in my chocolate (oops is this underage alcohol consumption?!?), unlike in liqeur chocolates where the booze hits you strong.

I find that the nama chocolate tastes even better after it's been left outside for a while (~1 hour) to soften. That way, it melts even faster in your mouth. Instant gratification!

Royce' truffle pralines are made of "rich praline cream mixed with milk chocolate and almonds". They were okay I suppose... good quality chocolate but I didn't like the roughness of the chopped almonds.
