The term "Suckao" is made up of two words that describe the utensil and the unique drink, containing
Suck - to draw the dense lique through the metal tube.
Kakao - the Spanish word for cocoa beans from which this rich chocolate drink is made and which determine its quality.
Interesting name, for a moment I thought the inspriation was gotten from Hokkien (one of the Chinese dialect).

Having tried plenty chocolate drinks, I can't help but to say my favourite is Max Brenner's. The beauty of Max Brenner's is the use of milk thereby having a creamy but yet rich chocolate taste. Since I like the concept of controlling the proportion of milk and chocolate, I was pretty surprised about Suckao of Max Brenner's.
We attempt drinking the melted chocolate without milk and the rich chocolate instantly send our hormones rocket high. The velvety smooth chocolate is simply addictive but that was simply too heaty. After mixing the milk, we couldn't resist slurping the chocolate down since it tasted heavenly when it is hot (Yes, the little fondue-like cup can be hot after some time).

I believed I mentioned before, the best chocolate drinks are usually the ones which allows you to dictate how much chocolate and milk content. For the suckao, you choose how much chocolate you want to add and then pour in the milk. For me, I added all the chocolate and sipped. This drink is simply addictive and will make you crave for more.

I love the Suckao! Been trying to buy the cup and metal straw/spoon for years. Never been to Max Brenner here in Singapore, but do you know if they sell the set up at the store?
I can drop by and check it for you. Let you know after I pay a visit to Max Brenner.
I see that you have something interesting on your blog. Eek!!! =P
Thanks Fen! That's really nice of you.
Haha yeah that's why it's called weird food!
Finally dropped by Max Brenner for my doze of chocolate, they do sell the suckao set in their shop.
It costs $45 for a normal set and $49 for children set (with cartoon prints) and the chocolate bits at $18 per 200gm. These prices are subjected to 7% GST. Saw 3 sets today =)
They also have the Annie cup and the Hug mug and all are displayed on their shelves, right hand side of the store upon entering and closer to the cashier.
