Chocolate Birds

My aunt gave us this box of Japanese chocolate on the eve of Chinese New Year. The packaging very nice hor? Because of that, nobody want to be the one who rip open the cutesy paper wrapper, tearing the printed birds into pieces.

I cannot read Japanese and I badly wanted to find out what the chocolates inside look like. Finally, I succumbed and was the evil one who did the unsavory job.

Tada!~

The interior was not impressive at all. There were only ten pathetic individually wrapped chocolate birds inside.

As you can see from the picture, the bird is quite ugly. The taste is nothing special either – rather like Nestle Crunch, but harder to bite because of the fat shape.

I cannot help but quote Forrest Gump here: “Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you are gonna get.”

How true.
