Black Ghana Japanese Chocolate

These pics were from some time back, thought of posting up on a Monday morning. Nothing like starting off the week with some productive work.

We were at this Japanese food fair in One Utama a few weeks back, they had this large selection of snacks and dried food for sale, like ramen noodles (made in Hong Kong, surprisingly), loads of strangely named seaweed snacks, cute little animal biscuits and lots more. They also had cultural dances and drum presentation, and the all important Japanese tradition of nissin noodle eating competition.

We bought some delicious chocolate panda biscuits (do I feel guilty about eating a biscuit shaped like an endangered species?) and this little surprise.

Its Lotte Black Ghana, subtitled ‘the authentic rich flavor of cacao’. Cacao?! At first i thought it was an Engrish corruption of ‘cocoa’, but thanks to wikipedia, cacao is actually another name for cocoa.

The back of the box, for those interested in the ingredients. Sorry, my Japan not powderful. I can only read the barcode numbers.

This is how the packaging looks like…

… and inside. Tastes delicious, a bit of bitter and sweet taste. Cost about RM12 per box, there were a few other variant flavors.

Must try the other types the next time i’m at a japanese supermarket…
