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:

A sci-fi novel based on the backbone of science makes for a more interesting read, imho. Good luck!

Title: "Teeming: How Superorganisms Work Together to Build Infinite Wealth on a Finite Planet"

Book description:

"Evolutionary biologist and anthropologist Dr. Woolley-Barker weaves poetic vision and deep scientific expertise to illustrate how flat, agile, and adaptive societies like ants, termites, and underground fungal networks self-organize for resilience and value... a journey through nature's most ancient and successful R&D labs, and gives practical prescriptions for redesigning organizations to flourish far into the future."

It's important to note Hongta Group is a well connected SOE in Yunnan. Good luck winning a lawsuit against the State. Not only is 红塔集团 a tobacco behemoth, but a illustrious real estate developer that preferentially gets awarded bids for public infrastructure tenders. Many of the stadiums standing in Kunming, or in lower-tiered cities like Dali, are built by Hongta.

This just in...

according to a forecast by global research company Euromonitor International, China will surpass France to "become the world's most visited country by 2030... the most popular holiday spot in the world with the largest number of both inbound and outbound travellers... overtaking the US and Germany, with 260 million outbound tourist trips by 2030."

Changshui expansion may be a good idea after all.
