Old Food Review: Deutsche Chocolates

Brocade Blue Thursday, October 24, 2013 0 Comments

I was cleaning out the memory card from our old 14 megapixel Fujifilm and came across old pictures of chocolates back when I was working with itelligence. One of the manager had gone back to Germany with his Malaysian wife and came back with 20kg of chocolate for the office. For the life of me, I would never understand why people do that-I mean lugging around chocolates from dry to humid weather and risk them to melting the moment they touch base on Malaysian soil. But I am glad they did just that. They were absatively (absolutely + positively) amazing and it reminded me of the chocolates Sogo used to sell before they went horridly bankrupt in Japan. I love chocolates, and I don't think I've given fair amount of review for these chocolates. If the Germans got three things right, its their sausages, relationship with Russia and chocolates

dusted sugar covered Christmas yule log

I had tried too many a variety of whiskey/alcohol stuffed cherry chocolates I figured a picture would just suffice

I still remember how this tasted like. The rum was warm and nice and it melted so nicely in your mouth just like a good behaved rum in a chocolate

And since no one at work liked chocolate coated rum, I ate most of it

I don't know how the rest tasted like, but the squares on the right most had Turkish Delight like filling in it, but I was pretty sure it wasn't Turkish Delight. Maybe black forest I don't know but that was chocolate I liked. If memory serves me right, the top most box had some biscutti

I think people hated this, but if you love cookie dough then I don't blame you for liking this. It's basically a sweeten potato dough. The best way to describe it's taste is to think of gulab jamun. Think adding sugar to your gulab jamun dough and then frying it. Think sweet rotli dough (how this wasn't thought beats the hell out of me brain)

After years of stuffing my face silly with chocolates I am surprised how I even managed to evade diabetes

Cakes And A Brother

Brocade Blue Sunday, November 08, 2009 0 Comments

I know alot of people who take their brother(s) for granted. He's paying for my bills, he's going to pay for my wedding, he's this, that and all that Indian mumbo-jumbo tales I hear. No guesses here for me.

Anyways let's cut that short and go to what I bought for my brother when mum told he hes at home for a week break before hitting his final few papers next week.

So I went to a cheap cake shop, got a fresh cream and then hit Secret Recipe and got some more, I know my brother is a sweet tooth like me!

5 slices of Carrot Brownies

4 Slices of American Brownies

1 slice of cheese choc

1 slice of mud choc cake

1 slice of (I have forgotten which)

and a mini blueberry made of fresh cream. It may look ugly but the cream was really fresh and it was delightful to my fussy taste buds.

Well, no chocolates this time but I made it up with cakes!

And THAT'S how much I love my brother!
