Certified chocolate connoisseur Katie Chan (affectionately known as The Chocolate Lady in Hong Kong) has long had a fondness for all things food and beverage since at a young age.
It is during her numerous research trips while working as a confectionery product developer that she found herself completely captivated by the fascinating world of chocolate. To further her understanding in the realm of chocolate tasting, she earned a certified qualification from the International Institute of Chocolate and Cacao Tasting in London.
In 2013, she founded her own company – “The Chocolate Club Hong Kong” with the vision to promote chocolate appreciation to the masses through education and to import a carefully curated selection of bean-to-bar chocolate brands to widen the selection of high quality chocolate products in Asia. Her chocolate education and pairing workshops were well received by partners such as: Harbour City and Hennessy. Her expertise did not go unnoticed by the industry professionals. She was appointed as Judge of the International Chocolate Awards World Final session and the Academy of Chocolate Grand Jury session. In 2021, she opened the first craft chocolate concept café in Hong Kong – CHOKOHOOD.
