The reason being is that there is a need to maintain the temperature inside the retail shop at 18 degree Celsius to enhance the texture of the chocolates. About 6 people are allowed inside the shop at one time.
While waiting, we bought ice-cream at the ice cream parlour beside the shop (also belonging to 18 degree Celsius).
Finally our turn to go in! We had a hard time choosing the flavors...

However, this temple that we had visited is not the Ma Tzu temple but we just went to take a look anw...
