The word “Royce” reminds me of the branded car maker – RollsRoyce. Hence when I first noticed a shop (quite some time back) in the basement
of Raffles City selling chocolates under the brand name Royce, my mind
automatically linked the chocolate to some expensive chocolate maker in the
United Kingdom. I must have walked pass the shop on numerous occasions but
never once did I consider buying the chocolates.
Hence when a friend passed me a (food) souvenir from her
trip in Japan, I was like “Oh…I didn’t know Royce chocolate originates from
Japan…”.
And that was only the first discovery on my part. I quickly
inspected the packaging and wondered out loud “Interesting…potato chips coated
with chocolate. Thanks!”
Only to have my friend poked her head over before exclaiming
“Oh…I didn’t know it’s potato chips I bought!”
Interesting people huh? J
Anyway, this sweet and salty combination tasted ok. It would
be better if they were to either cut down on the chocolate coating or to use
dark chocolate instead. However, for the Little One, it’s the perfect 2-in-1
snack. Even with his mouth full of chips, he was still demanding for more “mum
mum” with his outstretched, milk chocolate smeared hands.
