So I was looking through my collection of past foodie pictures and I noticed that I haven’t post about my somewhat ‘unusual activity’ during the previously long MCO months. See, since we can’t actually go out freely during those months, I was ‘snacks-deprived’ and had develop a craving for choco related munchies. So I have ‘no choice’ but to order various choco cookies and other products through food delivery services (such as GrabFood, FoodPanda) and even Shopee just to satisfy my severe sweet tooth at that time. So below are (ahem) ‘some’ of the things that I’ve tasted throughout those months. And looking back now, I think I’ve managed to produce an impressive chocolate ‘inventory’…
CRIME BITES
CHOCOLATE CHUNK & ROCHE COOKIES
Bought the
item(s) from/through: Shopee

Usually I’m
not really interested in products put out by local celebrities. But when a
colleage of mine was literally raving about this Uqasha Senrose & Kamal
Adli cookies, it piqued my interest. And I must say that among all of the other
choco ‘celup’ cookies that I’ve tried, theirs are by far the most decadent and
high quality tasting. Sure, it is still pretty sweet but it was more of the
choco kind of sweet rather than sugarly sweet, which was nice.
BITE-BITE
BY DEEGREEPASTRY BROWNIES
Bought the
item(s) from/through: Shopee

All I could
remember about this brownie product was that it was the ‘potong kaki’ type of
sweet. It took me almost 2 weeks to finally be able to finished off the
brownies and that is not normal for someone who can polished off a bottle of
said things in one sitting. The texture of the brownies were also harder than I
thought, even with the somewhat ‘frozen’ choco ganache.
BAE-RYLS
PREMIUM BUTTERSCOTCH COOKIES
Bought the
item(s) from/through: Shopee

The cookies
itself were crunchy and already sweet which was good but when mixed with the
choco ganache, it became a tad too sweet for my liking. But many people seems
to like them just the same so it depends on your taste buds I guess.
BLICIOUS
PREMIUM COOKIES: NOTTYELLA DOUGHNUT
Bought the
item(s) from/through: Shopee

The Raya
like cookies does look as pretty as in its pictures but for some reason the actual
cookies were a bit too hard to munch on. Maybe I got the ‘burned out’ batch or
something but the choco bits on top of said cookies does make up for the hard
texture.
BLICIOUS BOOGIE WOOGIE & BILLY JEANS COOKIES
Bought
item(s) from/through: Shopee
Personal
ratings: * * * ½
Products from
the same bakers as the previous cookies, I give extra points for their
creativity in naming these cookies. And both variations were pretty solid
tasting as well, although surprisingly I seemed to prefer the choco version
rather than the peanut butter one since the latter ‘ganache’ has this clumpy
texture that in the end tasted too ‘peanut butterly’ (if that was possible).
LYLEEZ’S
CAKES: CADBURY BROWNIIES BOWL
Bought
item(s) from /through: FoodPanda
Personal
ratings: * * *
Not gonna
lie; the word ‘Cadbury’ attracted me to buy this locally produce product. And
although I think that the actual brownies were pretty moist, the ganache
however were not as much as I hoped it would be. Still, it was already sweet
tasting without that much of ganache so imagine if it did.
NIMS THE
BEST CRISPY CHOCO TUB
Bought
item(s) from/through: GrabFood
Personal
ratings: * * * *
I actually
saw this product being promoted a number of times online but it was when I
finally saw it being sold locally that I’ve decided to try them out (and since
I’m oddly not a big fan of Coco Crunch). I must say that it exceeded my
(initially low) expectations as the Coco Crunch were in tiny sizes and the
choco ganache were evenly spread.
LOKAL
MUNCHIES CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Bought the
item(s) from/through: Shopee
Personal
ratings: * * * ½
I’ve
actually bought two flavours and thought that both were quite similar tasting
except for the slightly stronger caffeine taste within the Mocha flavour (which
should be obvious why). The cookies were crunchy but it sticks to my teeth for
some reason and the ganache was just your typical overly sweet tasting sauce.
BABY
VISCOFF MINI PRETZELS
Bought the
item(s) from/through: Shopee
Personal
ratings: * * * *
It was a
shame that I didn’t just go ahead and buy the ‘daddy’ version of this product
because as it turns out, I absolutely loved the salty (pretzels) plus choco
ganache combo. The pretzels also stayed crunchy even after a long period of
storage which was impressive.
NISSRINA
CHOC FERRERO & DARK CHOC MOONCAKES
Bought the
item(s)) from/through: Shopee
Personal
ratings: * * * *
I have
tried chocolate flavoured mooncakes before but these were the winners in my
books. You could taste the chocolate flavour while not being too sweet, which
was great. And the extra fillings were a
great edition to the product as well.
CRY CRY
SEDAP BY MELISSA ARMAN CUPCAKES
