Forums > Food & Drink > chocolate that isn’t snickers?

lol, didn't get enough Dove chocolate bars from trick-or-treatin'?

You're in luck. Watsons sell both Twix and Reeses in their confectionery section. Sometimes placed in the special discount corner of the store and sold for 1 (90% off) if expiration date lands on the same month. Oh yeah, they sell Kit Kat too.

Italian Ferrero Rochers are also worthy substitutes. They are omnipresent at local supermarkets, Walmart, and Carrefour. The latter offer imported chocolates like ones from Belgium you ought to try.

A large pack of Andes mint chocolates are currently on sale for 5rmb at the counter of an imported confectionery store in B1 of ShunCheng Plaza. Same 90% scenario as Watsons. The store houses great imports like the Akai Bohshi Red Box from Japan. A giant Jelly Belly Bean dispenser is visible in the back.

German Ritter bars are quite common in Kunming as @tiger alluded to. My favorite flavors are hazelnut and rum & raisin. The cornflake yellow pack tastes cheap like Nestle waffles.

My teeth are not fond of Toblerone. They remind me of Tootsie Rolls but not as brick hard.

To elaborate... coconuts often fall from tall coconut trees, breaking the thick exocarp & mesocarp shell layers in the process. In fact, more people on Earth die by falling coconuts than from shark attacks. The famous, free-roaming Wenchang chickens peck on the fallen coconuts as their main source of diet, as the origin story goes.

@Jan

Is the restaurant called 椰贝 (YeBei)?

Hainan coconut chicken restaurants are gaining popularity over here. One recently opened on the fifth floor of Golden Eagle Department store (金鹰购物广场B). A pile of fresh Hainan coconuts are visibly stacked in front of the restaurant. Most coconuts in Mainland come from the coconut forests in Wenchang City, not far from Haikou. Hence, the origin of the Wenchang Chicken dish.

Here are some pictures for verification:

Tomorrow (January 19, 2018), the high-speed rail from Kunming to Chongqing will officially commence. Kunming to Chengdu as well.

Bravo, awaiting part II.

GoKunming staffs may want to visit the new exhibition center at Green Lake, North of the white/black swans, formerly the Mahjong area. It features an informative media interface detailing future city planning inside and around the vicinity.

This morning I was strolling at a nearby park. Squirrels were chasing one another amid the trees fighting over territory. Like us, our mammalian primates and kin have been coveting neighbors' goods for eons... the innate struggles to optimize survival and to ensure the passing of one's genes.

Social network of friends & acquaintances have virtually triggered that hard-wired instinct, inadvertently opening the Pandora's box of emotions which govern our actions and states of being. Happiness depends on keeping that proverbial lid closed.
