Ada ke orang yang tak suka coklat? Allergic to chocolate ke? Mungkin ada kot, tapi teramat jarang mendengarnya kan. In fact this is the #1 food craved by women! In US alone, 8.9 billion dollar is spent on chocolates a year! Ok kita tak payah nak cerita pasal sejarah coklat..let's talk about the benefits of eating them-guilt free guaranteed! Hehehe...
Coklat ni mengandungi potasium, kalsium, magnesium and vitamin A1, B1, B2, D dan E. Wow banyak betul khasiat dia kan. So kalau nak mengelak penyakit Osteoperosis atau tulang reput bolehlah banyak makan coklat kan? Coklat juga mengandungi Tryptophan which acts as an anti-depressant and natural stress reducer! No wonder la bila tengah stress ramai yang mencari coklat. It also contains Phenols which helps reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Wow! And Catechins which are antioxidants that may help protect the body against cancer!
Banyak lagi benefits coklat ni sebenarnya...kalau nak tahu dengan lebih terperinci boleh pergi ke http://www.chocolate.org/ . Sekarang jom kita tengok antara famous chocs in Malaysia! :) Number 1 definitely goes to Cadbury!! Tapi mesti kita semua tahu yang rasa coklat Cadbury buatan Malaysia dan UK or Australia for example tak sama. Coklat Cadbury Malaysia lebih keras dan lebih rasa koko. Dia punya keras sampai letak kat panas pun tak cair (exaggerate sikit!). Cadbury UK and Australia/New Zealand lebih rasa susu yang sedap. Dan dia cepat cair kalau kita letak dalam room temperature kita.
Chocolates from US pulak rasa dia manis gula. Try Hershey's or M&M's or Snickers and Mars and Bounty...semua manis gila! Tak macam European chocs yang rasa lemak susu and sweetness yang just nice. Ramai yang kata Belgian Chocs is the best tapi sebenarnya terpulang kepada citarasa masing-masing.
Everyone loves KIT KAT!
And kepada sesiapa yang suka chocs mesti pernah cuba Patchi. Harga dia timbang ikut gram dan berbeza untuk setiap jenis. Outlet ada di Parkson KLCC.
And last but not least, Godiva pun baru buka outletnya di KLCC. Boleh pergi cuba kalau mahu. I sendiri belum pernah pergi dan cuba. Tapi dengar cerita harga SEBIJI coklat dalam RM4! Hmm..I think, i'll just stick to Cadbury je lah! Hehehe. Till Then, Adios...

I'm quite a chocoholic. Baru beberapa minggu kebelakangan ni je I tak makan chocs sgt. Kalau tak, HARI-HARI mesti makan :P
I like to include Malaysian-made chocolates in my gift baskets. Dulu2 I tahu Extreme Chocolates je (they have handmade chocs with filling too..Bumi co. with kilang near my area). Now I like Yola chocs too. Tak la mahal mcm Patchi atau Godiva (ridiculously expensive) tapi mahal dari Cadbury etc lah :)
Soho Mama i pun chocoholic jugak especially Ferrero Rocher and a Swiss choc called Minor tapi susah nak cari. Talk abt Msian chocs, hv u tried Fidani? Quite nice. And baru-baru ni i ada try Dazzle...simpan dlm fridge bila nak makan keras mcm batu. Letak kat luar sejam pun tak lembut! hehe.
