A SMALL booth featuring chocolate stilettos is a hit with attendees of the Umno annual general assembly.

Apart from a display of palm-sized chocolate stilettos, the booth by the Malaysia Cocoa Board (MCB), a research and development agency under the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry, showcased an array of handmade chocolates made entirely with Malaysian-grown cocoa.
