Chocolat ( show - co - la )

"...Excusez moi.. je voudrais un café au chocolat s'il vous plait... 

I was at the Mount Kiara the whole day today catching up with friends.  We were having coffee and a good chat.

A friend ordered a chocolate cake. So we started talking in french and among others ... the topic was on "chocolat" ( show - co - la ).

You know that in french we do not pronounce the " T " at the end.  "show-co-la " in many ways... gateâu au chocolat, café au chocolat, pain au chocolat etc. We were laughing out loud when a small boy heard our conversation and shouted "show-co-la" out of nowhere. I thought, the sound show -co-la  was interesting enough to attract others.  "Chocolat"   without "T" at the end is a  word  for chocolate... So at least if you hear someone says " show-co-la", you know what it means in french...

J'adore un chocolat noir.....
