When I was in Kuala Lumpur about two months ago, I spotted the KitKat Chocolatory at Mid Valley Megamall and was immediately enticed to enter! Usually, you get to customise your very own KitKat creation there but they were experiencing some technical difficulty that day and I could only get their off-the-shelf KitKat creations. Oh well, better than nothing! I picked the Traditional Malaysia Nasi Lemak, Ice Kacang and Fruitilicious Milk Chocolate that you see above.
The flavor I was most excited about trying was the nasi lemak one, of course.
And, as you’ve probably already guessed, it tastes nothing like nasi lemak! HAHA! BUT it definitely tastes a lot better than your regular KitKat (and maybe even some of those from Japan *gasp*). This particular flavor tastes like a certain brand of peanut candy I enjoy during Chinese New Year. But it comes with a spicy aftertaste. It confuses your tastebuds, yes, but that’s part of why it’s so enjoyable!
I like the Ice Kacang one as well. Of course, it tastes nothing like ice kachang! LOL. But the flavor and the texture are really good. I recommend storing these chocolates at room temperature. Once you refrigerate them, you won’t be able to truly appreciate the taste and texture anymore…
But make sure you skip the Fruitilicious Milk Chocolate. I’m a big fan of milk chocolate and especially chocolates with fruit and/or nuts in them. But I absolutely dislike this one. Overly tart, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth (literally).
If you’re wondering how much these novelty chocolates cost, it’s a bundle price of RM36 (just over S$12) for these three. There was a selection to choose from but I picked these 3 ‘cos I thought I’ll like them. The Chocolatory puts out new flavors frequently so make sure you pop by and try them all.
