Wow, haven't done a snacks post in a long time. Been eating a little healthier and trying to save money to feed my addition for tea, but this treat I could not pass up trying!
Two of Taiwan's most iconic foods are now little chocolate candies: bubble tea and pineapple cake.
I have a soft spot for the company's strawberry chocolate so am always looking out for their chocolates. These squares are also very cute (IMO).
So, how were they?
First, I have to say I like the wrappers.
Second, marks for trying to incorporate texture in both pieces. Adding a "BUBBLE" or tapioca-like pearl into the tea flavoured chocolate and some cookie like texture into the pineapple flavoured chocolate.
But, in terms of taste there was something a little off in the bubble tea one, not quite the tea flavour I was expecting but it is milky. The pineapple tasted more real but I'm a little put off by the orange colour. Anyway, I think they are great to try for the novelty of it all or as a gift to bubble tea loving people, but not sure if I'd buy it regularly if I was in the mood for sweets.
