If I'm overseas, I will buy Whittaker's chocolate when I see them.
My favourite is of course the Peanut slab, which is fresh roasted peanuts covered in rich milk chocolate in a bar. The last one I had was 2 years ago, when I chanced upon them in Taiwan.
Recently, I managed to buy the Whittaker's Almond Gold.
It's similar to the Peanut slab, except that Almond Gold had almonds (duh!!) in it, instead of peanuts.
A bar has 1103kJ !!!
The chocolate was smooth and rich with the taste of milk. It was satisfyingly sweet, yet not cloying. The toasted almonds were crunchy. Really indulgent!
Yum ...
But eating a bar of Whittaker's made me feel guilty, as a 45g bar contained 1103kJ! That means, I have to work hard to burn off those extra calories ;(.
it's true!
ReplyDeletehowever, you can get it easily in Langkawi.
just went there last January for work trip and tasted it for the first time after being recommended by the salesboy.
going again this October!=P

ReplyDeleteI saw some Whittaker Peanut blocks (250g) at the choc kiosk at KLCC the other day. I'm not sure of the price, though, as I did not intend to buy. I sure was tempted though :))
ReplyDeleteWhittaker's Almond slabs were recently available on board Malaysia Airlines flights. A pack of 3 slabs sold for RM15.00
ReplyDeleteI bought Whittaker"'s Berry & Biscuit to take home .Too bad we x have them in Miri. Nice blog btw.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a flavour I have not tried. I'd be interested to, though. Actually, Whittaker's Chocolate Block (250g) is currently available at GK Supermarket, Pujut. Limited stock & limited flavours, though. So head there if you are craving for some!!
