THE MONGGO STORYThe First Chocolatier of Yogyakarta Since 2001 The adventure begins in Yogyakarta back in 2001 when a 35-year-old Belgian man arrived in Indonesia without a plan. Disappointed by the poor quality of local chocolates, he decided to take matters into his own hands and endeavored to make some specialties of his lowland country using the limited resources available to himThe Meaning of "Monggo" “Monggo” is a Javanese word meaning “please” that people of Yogyakarta use all the time along with a friendly thumb gesture, similar to the sign used by hitchhikers but in a horizontal position.“Monggo” is used when someone passes in front of you when invited to someone’s house, when you leave, etc. We found this polite expression representing the Javanese culture in the city of Yogyakarta to be the perfect name for our chocolate.
