Yummy Tummy Koalas

Top Taste's Yummy Tummy Koalas Trio standing up straight and proud !

One of the good thing working in a R&D department in a food ingredients company is that we are expected to go and find out what's new in the market. Which means, buying and tasting them in the name of research hohoho...


So today, while accompanying a friend who needs to do groceries at the supermarket, I spotted these Yummy Tummy Koalas near the fresh bread section.
Who can resist approaching a section full of these koalas ?!?!


The Yummy Tummy Koalas comes in 3 flavour variations : Chocolate Mud Cake, White Chocolate Mud Cake and Caramel Mud Cake.
They are individually packed (there are 8 koala pieces in a box) suitable to be packed into kids lunch box as snacks, or for us that just like to eat ^_^


Lying down on their sides from eating too much...koalas cakes ? LOL

The packaging is quite smart, brightly coloured, cute koalas and "informative" as you can see below

   

Cath, Kevin and Bruce's vital informations and virtual view. They are roughly 6cm tall and 22.5g heavy.


Proudly Oz made complete with flip flops 


Individually packed koalas


The verdict ? Surprisingly, they are quite yummy for a pre-packed, long shelf life cakes. Usually these kind of cakes taste ...well....fake :P
They are moist, chocolatey (well, they are half dipped in chocolate) and they don't taste too fake.
After eating all 3 (in the name of research) I'd say the white chocolate is the best tasting one.
I was expecting it to be the sweetest amongst the 3, as white chocolate stuffs tends to be sweeter in general, but surprisingly it's not.


And that's not all !!!!
When we almost *ehem* empty the boxes, I found a sheet of sticker inside !!
I was pretty much showing it to everyone in the office when I found it...they are clothes stickers for the koalas.
So not only they taste good , you can also play with the empty box \^o^/
They are proudly propped on my desk now.

So people, go get the Yummy Tummy Koalas now at your supermarket !
