Five of us sat around the table in Helen's dining room. Everyone else had gone home after the cell meeting and supper was over. But we felt that the night was still young. We were dying for some sort of culinary adventure.

David was the first to venture out where no one has ever been before. He poured a generous glob of Hershey's chocolate syrup all over his gula melaka-flavoured jelly and put the whole mess into his mouth. His sister Rina and I stared at him in horror. Chocolate on jelly? Isn't that the weirdest thing?

"How was it? Ok ah?" we queried him.

"It was goooood....", he sighed in utter satisfaction and quickly concocted another glob of jelly soaked in chocolate syrup and popped it into his mouth.

Rina needed no further encouragement and did the same and had the same look of bliss on her face. It took the less adventurous me a wee bit longer but in the end, I succumbed to the temptation.

All I could taste was the chocolate, really. The gula melaka taste was drowned out completely. But it was really darn good chocolate and thus, I looked satiated myself.

Adelle and her mother Helen looked at us curiously but dared not try it for themselves. Helen was happy that her Hershey's were being put to good use.

Well, that bit of adventure was over and done with. What do we do next?

Adelle suggested we mix the choc syrup with milk and the idea was eagerly agreed upon.

David and Rina kept on egging Adelle to add more syrup into the milk.

"Look, it says here on the label that two tablespoons of that syrup contains 100 calories. You've got to stop pouring it in, Adelle, " I protested.

"It's ok, I'll work out tomorrow," Rina fended off my feeble protests.

You mean, I'll have to work out like mad the next day, I thought forlornly. But I soon forgot my woes when we tasted the concoction and declared that it was good.

"Wait, I have a bottle of Bailey's! Let's add it to the chocolate milk for kicks," Helen said and jumped out of her chair.

We each gravely held out the tablespoon and receive a dose Bailey's medication and stirred it solemnly into our cups. We took very small sips to make it last longer. Our eyes were glazed in absolute ecstasy.

Aaah... if that's not a piece heaven, I don't know what is. Trust Helen and Adelle to give their best to make their guests feel like kings. Looking at the late hour, we decided to call it a day. We left their comfortable home with a little piece of heaven still tingling in our taste buds.

Wow...you make feel like I'm an actress or something. To see my name written in your story and was given 'life' with dialogues too......wow, that feeling is awesome. Don't how to tell it but I was reading Harry Potter with all the imagination going on and then suddenly with this... By the way, you're very good in writting...started well and ended well. My, my,.....you're gonna be something!

WAHHH...... Make me relived the whole experienced! yum-yum. Should have poured more syrup! YUM! Should have poured more bailey's syrup too! haha

I think that would be REALLY be THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCED!!!

Rina, should feature you more in future writings then ;) BTW, did you work off those sinful calories??

David, you'll have your chance next Sat! Can't wait to stuff our faces with tubs and tubs of Baskin Robbins and the heavenly Hersheys' choc syrup :P

Hey...those calories help me to keep warm. It's a saint, baby.
