The University of the Philippines Society for Hotel and Restaurant Progress (UP SHARP) now on its 44th year presents one of its much anticipated events, the Chocolate Buffet. In previous years, it caught the people’s attention and appetite for chocolate with themes like Neverland and Japanese Maid Cafe. Last February 15, 2014, they delighted the crowd with a German inspired theme of the tale of Hansel and Gretel, entitled “Schokoladenhaus: Lost in Bliss, Tricked By Delight Décor
The venue was arranged liked a gingerbread house and pretzels are all around the room that make you feel you have stepped into the storybook.
