Yeah, yeah I know… this is not exactly a
full fledge ‘food’ but you still eat your snacks right? So just like that I’m
including this on my list of food review. Har
har har… What initially attracted me the most about this vibrant looking place
was not the multi-coloured candies being strategically displayed on their
shelves, nor that cutesy mascot up front. Nope, it’s the very long line of
people just waiting their chance to get inside the place. I mean, I understand
if the place is a restaurant, but a candy store? Now that’s something new to
me. So I waited a bit for the crowd to die out (which took longer than
expected) to see what the fuss is about. When I finally got inside the store, I
finally realize why it drew such a crowd. There’s a full on display of ‘craftsmanship’
being shown from a glass counter. The marshmallow type of candy was actually
being handmade on the spot by perfectly trained staff and quickly packed
afterwards. It’s indeed a sight to be seen as they moulded the sticky and soft
raw materials into candies of assorted flavourings. I did buy one for my niece
back home and had tried them out as well. True to its name, the candy was
indeed very sticky and chewy (I had to picked my tooth afterwards) and
thankfully not overly sweet. But do be warn though, for such a ‘special candy’
the price is obviously not going to be cheap, as my orange flavoured candy (see
picture below) costs Rm16.70 per small tube. And that’s among the cheapest
there is.
