Tropicalevo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) For those of you who fancy a little nostalgia, Tesco Lotus Chewang are selling Bounty Bars - both plain and milk chocolate. Mind you - they are a lot smaller than the ones that I remember Edited November 23, 2012 by Tropicalevo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tops in Chewang has McVities digestive biscuits most of the time (chocolate and plain). Not cheap! We have just finished the ones we bought ealier in the week. Be careful with Cadburys chocolate. The stuff sold in Thailand is usually made in Malaysia. Different recipe to the REAL stuff - made in Birmingham, UK. The Malay stuff is OK (tropical recipe) but the UK recipe is the dogs bollloxxx (more milk). If you want to know the difference, come and visit. We still have a bar or two from when 'mission control' went back to the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have a bar or two from when 'mission control' went back to the UK Haven't been to Tops in about 3 years... too over priced and not worth the effort to get there!!! I would not remember how to find it, even if I wanted too!!! Yes, Canadian Cadbury Chocolate was not same same either, .... as the real McCoy, ... too sweet !!! I always remember some one telling me the Brits have a more "mature taste" so I know the difference.... thanks anyway!!! I think I remember reading somewhere that the Malay version is made to make it more heat resistant, developed in Oz or Kiwi land if I remember.. .... .. but they tried to re-invent Marmite too ... sorry Rooo and anyone else from down under!!! One day, soon I hope, I'll get to the member who brought some chocolate back from UK,..... but he's not easy to get hold of !!! ..... it's going to be very matured soon .... If I remember correctly Big C price was 94 baht for digestives, and Tesco 149 baht.... usually not such a discrepancy in prices on most things....Big C Chocolate ones smaller packet 64 baht, if memory serves~~? never seen in Tesco...

samuijimmy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The Digestives and Hob Nobs, at Big C are not in their usual isle .... They are in a display in the centre isle.... near the knickers and stuff! I had to ask a girl their three times to show me, she happened to be packing some in a gift basket, so I was able to point to what I wanted.... she pointed vaguely over there twice ... the third time I made her show me! !!! For those who like Seriously Cheddar Cheese they have some of those 2 for one now... several types I had forgotten Tropicalevo said Bounty's and Rolo were at Tesco.... I thought there had been a mutiny and the Rolos' had rolled off the shelf overnight !!!! .... cos "no have" at Big C! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 I know that the topic was originally Bounty Bars (made by Mars), but to try and explain why the Malay recipe for Cadbury's is not the same - look at http://www.telegraph...y-Cadburys.html Apologies to the non-chocoholics out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 There was mention in the food forum a few weeks ago, that Cadbury's was back in Thailand.... slooooow on getting to Samui!!! Yes, but where does the Cadbury's available in Thailand come from? If it's under license from a Malaysian factory, it is awful. In Malaysia, they sell the watery version made under license in Australia which is just as bad. So far locally, I have only found genuine British-made Cabdbury's in Vietnam.

Sorry - but the Thai Cadbury's is from Malaysia. Not the 'real thing' The Bounty Bars were good quality though - as Rooo said. Made in Germany.

I guess that's one of those EU things... The Eurobrats hard at work again! I remember a few years back they were talking about making HP sauce in France.... and nearly causing a revolution ... did that actually happen? Now everyone knows why I stock up on the Tesco Dark chocolate when it comes in, at least that is quite palatable! ..... but I would not mind the "special version" Cadburys makes for Q E 2! In Malaysia, the varieties of Cadbury bars boggles the mind, but agree not same same as the real thing! Good thing Hershey did not take over Cadbury, that got to be the worst chocolate made.... I know Americans don't thing so... but..... .... I'd better go hide now ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I could add Nutella. The local one, made by Ferrero Australia, has nothing to compare with the European, probably made in Italy, taste and texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
