The first chocolate truffles and other simple homemade chocolate products were displayed on the pink Vespa and given away every Sunday morning from 5am at the "SunMor" market near UGM (Universitas Gadjah Mada). Before Chocolate Monggo came to fruition, the chocolatier sold products under "Kulit Cokelat" and "Cacaomania", two concepts that failed but served as a valuable experience. Those years were spent learning continuously about chocolate, as well as looking for supplies and affordable equipment.
