This is how the chocolate look like. The taste is different from the one i mention earlier on. As heard from my friend, she said the taste of this chocolate change. I not too sure about this, but she said that last time it taste much better compare to now.

I still remember when I was young, I don't really like the taste of this chocolate. Maybe because of the nougat that why I don't like. But this time round, I try to taste it again. You have to be careful while eating this. The nougat will just bite ur teeth if you bite it too hard. The nougat got me a few times. I believe this chocolate will taste better when not melted. So please do kept at a correct temperature. Maybe because the nougat got me quite a number of time, I don't think I will want to taste it for time being.

The sweetness taste is balance. You may like to try it. Different people got different type of taste. You may like it more than me. =)

Was shopping at Ang Mo Kio Hub and saw this at NTUC. New packaging for Kinder Bueno. This is called the Kinder Bueno Bites. Well, I never know that Kinder Bueno is made from Poland. Maybe not much people actually see where the chocolate is being manufactured. Is better to store in cool dry place and away from direct sunlight.

Since it contain much more milk, that why it melted more easily. You could actually see that Dark Chocolate don't melt that easily unless at high temperature. Kinder Bueno actually melt quite easily. =D I bet a lot of people out there, regardless adult or children all love to eat Kinder Bueno. Since young I being eating Kinder Bueno. One bag have 19 individual pieces of chocolate. The taste is super nice as usual. Need not say much about its taste. EVERYBODY should try it!!!

This is another type of chocolate from Morinaga. This time round is bitter chocolate. Some time I like to taste some bitter chocolate. 75% cocoa will be fine for me. This is also from Japan. Haha, same brand of cause same country. Hmm, got to keep away from the sun and kept under 28 degree. Taste wise is totally different from the milk chocolate. Milk chocolate is super sweet while this is bitter. It taste similar to one of the dark chocolate I used to buy. I still prefer it soft a little bit before eating it. You will taste the bitterness first but after while the sweetness will slowly come out. Not a bad taste. After it completely melt down, it leave some milky taste in your mouth.

It did not state how many per cent of Cocoa is in it. Hmmm, I think it is below 70%. It is not that bitter actually. The slight milk taste after the chocolate melted in your mouth feel great. =D Well, I am quite amuse by the fat contain. Morinage Bitter Chocolate actually got 0.3g more fat compare to Morinage Milk Chocolate. I thought Milk Chocolate will always contain higher fat contain. But I am quite surprise to see this. Carbohydrate wise, Morinage Bitter Chocolate got 0.3g higher than Morinage Milk Chocolate. Protein is also way below Morinage Milk Chocolate. These findings definitely help me understand more. =D

As for the packaging, they chose to use Gold for Milk Chocolate and Sliver for Bitter chocolate. You could see the little kid smiling so happily on the wrapper. The wrapper also wrote 90th anniversary. Think it wanted to bring a smile to everybody face. A chocolate to bring a smile to your face. Aint bad right? =)

Well, this chocolate is made from Japan. Went through some trouble to get those information out. Almost everything is written in Japanese. This is Milk Chocolate. Similar to the previous post, there is words printed on each chocolate. "Morinaga" is printed inside. To be kept in cool places under 28 degree. Well, to me I feel that when the chocolate is a little bit soft taste better. =) When you left the chocolate on your tongue and let it melt natually, the taste of the milk get stronger and stronger as time goes by. If you like strong milk taste, you may like to have a try. =D But make sure you have lots of water. =D

To store in a cool, dry and smell-free place. It is made from Switzerland. This chocolate is made up of fine milk chocolate with almond-honey-nougat.

That is how it look inside.. It is individually shaped triangular..

You can see it clearly from the picture above that there is this white in colour thing. That is the nougat. There are two basic kinds of nougat: white and brown. White nougat is made with beaten egg whites and is soft, whereas brown nougat (called nougatine in French) is made with caramelized sugar and has a firmer, often crunchy texture. A nougat is a chewy or brittle candy containing almonds or other nuts and sometimes fruit.

The taste aint bad. =D You can actually feel the nougat stick to your teeth a little bit. The nuts inside bring the taste of the chocolate to another level. =D Worth trying..
