Japanese chocs in Lintas Supermarket

This entry was realized a month ago during a 90-minute ride around town with a friend to procure a collection of chocolates as a gift for a girl whom he was trying to impress.

Whether he succeeded or not, I am unaware. What type of chocolate do you indulge in? White, milk or dark? 75% or 85%? Share with me.

Among the many stops we made that night, the first was the Lintas Supermarket (map) which in fact sells a variety of Japanese snacks. Nonetheless, due to budget constraints, only three were purchased for the purpose of this entry — Morinaga Milk Chocolate (RM8.50), Meiji Milk Chocolate (RM6.50) and Morinaga French Milk (RM17.50).

A common element among most Japanese chocolates is its bittersweet taste and quite often the slight aftertaste it comes along with. For obvious reasons (price and taste comparison), the Morinaga French Milk (★★★★☆) is the best among the three. The remaining two (★★★☆☆) tastes plain and I reckon can be best enjoyed with a glass of milk.
