Toblerone can get from places like Valu$, three 200g bags for $10. NTUC, Giant n Sheng Siong also have them on offer sometimes, 3 bags for $9plus! Love the dark ones!

Yes, yes, me too! I actually bought the dark choccie Toblerone from some shop at the MRT station for less than $2, I think. I was actually eyeing the Cote D'or ones at the Choco Express.

Cote D'or was my least favorite brand of bar chocolates when I was young. Preferred Cadbury as it was the creamiest followed by Van Houten. My dad loves chocolates so we could always find some bar or the other in the fridge back then!
Have not eaten or even seen Cote D'or for the longest time! Remember it used to come in bigger bars (200g?) for around $3..but that was close to 3 decades ago!:s13:

Oh dear, we're complete opposites. You could not get me to eat Van Houten if you killed me, even as a kid! I think Cadbury's is every kid's fave because they are sweet & so expansive in milk flavour that kids can immediately latch onto it. Cote D'or catered to a most adult palette so it had less milk content and more sophisticated flavours/additives. I happen to like dark chocolate and seldom eat milk chocolates so I was a Lindt, Cadbury's & Cote D'or muncher. I avoided Toblerone until they introduced the dark ones & then I was a goner. :s13:

OK, after lunch, Imma go attack the Toblerone in my fridge! I made a pumpkin, wolfberry, oysters & coriander porridge because my bones are aching like the blazes in this weather! Need comfort food ... come to me, Toblerone!

yea have to keep flouring my hands.
hmm quite fluffy but not those crystal jade bread fluffy haha

It's not the flouring that drives me barmy but that the dough somehow always gets into the nails no matter how short they are! Grrrrrr ... scrub ... grrrrr ...
