From the box of Quality Street chocolates assortment, you can find variety of different chocolate flavours. You can choose from the choices of Toffee Penny, Toffee Finger, Toffee Deluxe, Caramel Swirl, Milk Choc Block, Vanilla Fudge, Coconut Éclair, Orange Chocolate Crunch, Strawberry Delight, Orange Cream, The Green Triangle, and The Purple One.

Some said this chocolate is not as good quality as its name “Quality Street” chocolate, but somehow I still think that, if you get an old tin of these chocolate, they can be a bit nasty as I believe any chocolate candy would as well, however, when you get a fresh batch of chocolate, they could be delicious.

Quality Street chocolates come in many flavours and in different coloured wrappers.

From what I know, Quality Street has becomes a tradition for some families in certain celebration. Eventually, they will prepare a tin of this euphoric mix of chocolates and caramels to delight their friends and family, especially on Christmas celebration.

Christmas often becomes a wonderful time for those with a sweet tooth and I believe even a simple selection tin of Quality Street chocolates could be a fantastic gift.

Figure 6.0

Both chocolates (shown in the photos above) might seem similar but actually it is different. The Orange Crème is slightly the same shape as the Toffee Deluxe, just without the ridges. The colours of both wrappers are slightly similar as well.








Homemade Cheesecake

Figure 1.0

It takes a bit of hubris to describe whether a cake is “perfect”, especially for a cheesecake as many have their own personal favourite.


Although the physical looks of the cake is quite common and simple, but it is firm enough to hold the cake, yet moist and delicate. It is still a great gift from my neighbour even it is just a simple homemade cheesecake.

Sometimes, by looking at the recipe of baking a cheesecake, it seems very simple and easy to make one by own self. However, I found that one of the problems where most people encountered when baking the cheesecake is that the middle part of the cake is not cooked. The reason might be because without a proper temperature of heat and suitable timing when baking the cake.

My family and I were a cheesecake lover, so cheesecake is commonly served throughout the year for any time of desserts, and as well as served at celebrations or any party during holidays.

Apollo Roka Chocolate.

Figure 1.0

Roka is a product name of a chocolate, where it is a wafer ball covered with nutty chocolate. Apparently, from physical look it looks like the well-known chocolate brand Ferrero Rocher chocolate, but of course the taste will be totally different, as you pay the price for the quality.

It is also one of the replacement chocolate for Ferrero Rocher when we were kids, as the price is much cheaper and affordable, though the quality is different. Anyhow, it is still able to make us happy as a kid.
