Weee… a limited edition Kit Kat Cafe Latte, which I manage to get to buy just before it almost finish selling. Yup, all thanks to 7 Eleven near my office. Now, there are 2 packet of chocolate which weighs 17g each. From the outlook, it looks like any other Kit Kat bar. Of course it tasted a little bit more different. True to its name, it has this strong coffee aroma the moment I opened the package. When I break the Kit Kat bar and had a munch, I can seriously taste the strong coffee taste. It really is cool and taste cool, except the fact that I somewhat think the coffee flavour should be a little milder. I am a coffee lover, but I think the coffee flavour somehow overpowered the chocolate bar. Yup, a little milder would do fine.

Where I bought my Kit Kate Cafe Latte? I got mine at 7 Eleven priced at RM2.50 per box.

It’s way after Easter, but I must really say, Easter Day chocolates are great! Too bad over here in Malaysia, we don’t really celebrate such occasion. Hence, we don’t really get much Easter chocolates. As for this  Wonka Caramelicious, Nicole got it for me from Australia.

This chocolate is actually a product from Nestle. I love the packaging. The colours are so retro, so circus like and attractive. Topped with a purple hat and logo. Haha… I totally fall in love with the “Caramelicious” font type. But I must really say… the stars doesn’t really do well with me.

As stated on the cover of the box, this packaging comes with a Milk Chocolate Egg and 4 Mini Eggs filled with Gooey Caramel.  The Milk Chocolate Egg is pretty big. I think 6 to 7 of the mini eggs can make up to the size of the milk chocolate. Unlike the mini eggs, the milk chocolate is hollow. So yeap, it isn’t that sweet or filling.

As for the Mini Eggs filled with Gooey Caramel. I must give credit to the Food Designer cause the actualy product doesn’t have that caramel flowing out from the chocolate. In fact, the caramel are rather little and it’s pretty hard. I am pretty disappointed with portion of the caramel. I really love caramel! Sigh… so yes, I didn’t really have the caramel satisfaction from eating this 4 mini eggs for sure!

Chocolates~ Yummie!! In my opinion, chocolates need not be expensive in order to taste good. At times, I would say cheaper chocolates taste way better. Call me weird… but it is true.

Meiji have always been a pioneer in producing tasty snacks. Yup, and our country simply imports loads of them. I must say, I simply adore their Meiji Macadamia Chocolates. It is packed in a marlboro looking like design whereby their prominent colours are red and white with the classic arrow pointing down. A simple looking box with a one-liner I find… funny. It reads Macadamia, called “King of nuts”, is the most valuable in the world.

But nevertheless, I would say it is a what you see is what you get packaging. You will get 12 pieces of chocolates (9 on the top cover of the box and 3 at the side) and yes, a big chuncky piece of macadamia nut.

As for how it taste like… I would say it tasted good. Not really top notch, but for that price… it is considered good. I love how I can feel the big and chuncky macadamia nut. I love how crunchy the nut taste… and how it blends in so well with the chocolate.

Best of all it comes in small pieces… which means… I can just go on munching and munching and munching.. without even noticing I am munching on the next piece. Seriously, I can finish eating this one box in less than 5 minutes. And  yes, if you ask me I don’t find it that sweet cause the crunchiness of the macadamia nut practically overcome the sweet taste.

It’s really something worth to chew on if you have cravings for something sweet and crunchy!

I love cookies! It’s kinda sad that I can never master baking. It seems so difficult and need lots of time to prepare it. Not to mention the cleaning process after the baking. Hence, purchasing it off shelf seems the easiest way. When I went shopping for my normal “stock up” routine, I suddenly saw this clean white paperbag like packaging on the shelf.

Unlike others who tries too hard to just wow you with their vibrant and striking packaging colour, the Pepperidge Farm packaging seems to distinguish itself by just looking clean and neat. Yes, I really love the whiteness of the packaging. Pepperidge Farm seriously comes out with many variety of cookies. So I have been standing there for quite some time, when I finally decided to pick the Pepperidge Farm: Chocolate Chunk Cookies – Milk Chocolate Macadamia (read about their ingrediants and nutrition information here).

I personally love the neat design. A big and prominent logo as branding, product name and just one big product picture that says it all. The yummy visual, classy font type. Woo la la… elegant! But what I am really impressed is, their product shot and their actual product don’t really look that different. Unlike many, the product shot look so big and yummie but the actual product is not even 1/2 of what being shown.

There are 8 pieces of cookie in each packet, 4 pieces in each tray. I must say, each piece of cookie have generous amount of chunky chocolate. Unlike normal chocolate biscuit, the chocolate chunks is soft and melts instantly as you bite them. Mixed together with the roasted macadamia nut chunks, it’s totally perfect.

The aroma of the roasted macadamia… makes it really irresistable. The cookie itself is a little soft. Some might not like the texture of it, but I personally felt it is cool. When you eat the cookie as a whole, you can feel the different texture. The crunchy macadamia nut, soft cookie and melting chocolate. You figure that out yourself.

Bright PINK!! That is my first impression of this Firefly bottle. I think it’s a really well executed bottle. From front to back, top to bottom. I love the classy and neat feel of it. Their font play is really amazing. I especially fall in love with how they blend a nicely shot black and white polaroid treated picture as the main picture.The back of the bottle features short description about the drink and it’s ingrediants and nutritional facts (click here to read about it). I love how they mix and match 2 font type. It makes it feel artistic and natural. Like how someone just scribble on the label. It really make me smile a little when I look at it, cause that is how I always scribble on my sketches and notepads.The Firefly Tonics company have 6 different type of healthy drink. But so far, I only manage to get 4 of it (Yup, you will be seeing more of this review in the near future). So yeah, what exactly is Firefly : Wake Up drink? It’s actually a mixture of Peach & Green Tea drink. According to the label, it is claimed that the drink is made from all natural ingrediants and no added sugar.The Wake Up drink is reddish in colour. As for the taste, it tasted quite alright. One can really feel that it is made of natural ingrediants. No kidding, it has this distinguish taste which is really different from the local brand can drinks. Best of all, it really isn’t that sweet. So, how well does it keep up to their reputation as a wake up drink? I’m not sure if it’s because it’s way past my sleeping time or what. Coz before I decided to drink this, I haven’t been sleeping for more than 24 hours and I don’t really sleep after a certain amount of hours.Hemm, I guess I will have to try it again someday. During some boring meeting or when I am just plain bored doing nothing.A bottle of 330ml healthy drink that can help you survive over boring meetings, packed in such a beautifully done bottle design cost RM9.90. Yeah, it’s kinda pricey but… I love the bottle is all set to collect them all. Not sure where else you can get the drink, but I got mine at Isetan KLCC.�

Recently, I notice McD’s is actually selling a different version of pie. Riding on the success of their Apple Pie, they recently launch the Banana Pie which kinda substitute my favourite Pineapple Pie. 🙁I was warned that it doesn’t taste as good but that didn’t really stop me. The Banana Pie is packed in the original pillow shaped packaging, of course only the bright and cheerful yellow differentiate it from the Red Apple Pie packaging. I can really say, besides liking the brightness and the cheerful yellow of it… nothing really impresses me. Worst when it comes with this lines that I can never justify the purpose.

Unlike the Apple Pie/Pineapple Pie where you can taste the chunky feel of the fruit, the Banana Pie doesn’t give you that texture. I believe it is because Banana itself is a soft type of fruit. So, if you are looking on biting on some crunchy fruit or taste the fruit texture, one would immediately be disappointed.

Well, I sorta think it really isn’t up to what I expect it to be. Not to mention it doesn’t have a strong Banana taste to it.

I love Peanut Butter m&m’s!!!! Maybe because the fact that I can’t get it over here in Malaysia makes me love it that much. Yup, as far as I know, the nearest place to get it is in Singapore. So each time my friends go over to Singapore, I would ask them to buy me 10 packs.

I think I have been spoilt by this Peanut Butter m&m’s. Honestly, ever since I tried them, the normal m&m’s never appeal to me anymore. Why? The Peanut Butter filling really adds taste and tends to compliment well.

Right… it is a little big bigger compared to the normal m&m’s and when you hold it, it’s a little more oily. But yes… it taste damn good! I wish they would distribute and sell some over here!

As for the packaging… I must admit I like the distinct bright red ALOT! From far, one can really recognize the colour. But I must say, if put side by side with a packet of NIPS, one sure would pick up the wrong one.

 

Muahaha.. yes yes…. more cravings for food. The finest food.. only the finest. Yes. I love chocolates. Super duper love them coz each time I eat them, I feel happy. I din know why, maybe I have sugar high. But I doubt that. I have no prob with coke or any other soft drinks.

Obviously the ways of eating the chocolates does determine of it effecting the outcome emotions. But well that is not the point of this entry. Hahaha.. that will come in future entries.

Yup.. lovely chocolates mum and dad brought for me from the airport. Yup, they went holiday again. Didn’t get me anything from China. Yeah she said I wouldn’t have liked stuffs from there. I dunno.. whatever.. as long as there’s chocolates. Ya ya.. maybe can get these chocs anywhere but then, it’s from mum and dad, it gotta somehow taste better.

For the first time I actually have the time comparing the 4 types of chocolate in the box. Yeay… I will list them down from the most tasty one to the least tasty ones.

Crème Brûlée
Yes… To my tastebuds, this one does beats every other chocolate from it’s crowd. It has this thin chocolate on the outer layer. It melted when I tried to pick it up. So yes, make sure you do ice your hand if you doesn’t wanna eat melted chocolates. Okay.. looking at it right now… it somehow looks like “eggtart” It tasted like one too.. the middle stuff was rather soft and creamy. It has this quite strong milk taste to it while have bits of… I have no idea what it is.. felt rather nutty.

Brownie
When I first open the box, and look at it, this is the chocolate that somehow look the ugliest. Well.. yeah… I mean look at the others, It seems like it has been crafted. This one.. hahaha just give me the “simply whack” feeling. But well… like mama always say, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” I guess that apply to chocolates too. It tasted good. Have the brownie texture with some bits and pieces of nuts. Okay… It somehow tasted as if there were some alcohol content inside. Yes, and I think that’s what that really adds in the kick to this piece of chocolate.

Tiramisù
Mmmm….. tiramisu.. yeap… my first thinking, it’s gotta be somehow soft and have this hint of alcohol taste. Yeap.. gotta be light and fluffy. But somehow I was disappointed. The hint of coffee wasn’t enough to light up everything. Not to mention it not being soft and fluffy enough. The taste somehow just taste like any other ordinary coffee chocolate. Well.. but I must really give credit to the details. All of them just looks identical.

Tarte aux Noix
By first glance, this I think is by far the most interesting one in the box. I dun just say it coz I say it, well I have prove. Once I take out the box and offer only.. This chocolate was immediately a goner. I guess people and nuts… inseperable. It has this think outer layer as the Crème Brûlée. However the it’s a little different. It has some hazelnut cream and being topped with chopped hazelnuts. It does look pleasant to the eyes, however it taste just so ordinary. Just so same as other Hazelnut chocolates.

Yeay, I have ice-kilim to eat. Bought this mini ice cream and tasted it out. For RM4.99 I guess it’s worth a try. To me it didn’t have any hazelnut taste at all. More like a chocolate coated vanilla ice cream. That was rather disappointing. Well the fact of it being small… ermmm makes it feel like… well it’s hard to explain it doesn’t fill my hunger for ice-cream. I guess I need to eat all 10 of it to fulfill my craving.
