Choco Challenge

Will have a photoshoot session with 18 Elementary School kids
in 2 days.

Planning to bring some sweets to give some extra sparks.

Hey, this Chocolate Pistachio Fudge recipe by Nigella is super easy!

Why not put some love in hand made chocolate?

So let’s buy some ingredients!

I head to Carrefour with expectation,

A hypermarket will provide things that I need.

Which turn out wrong.

What about Hero supermarket?

Here’s the detail of missing stuffs:

Decorative Plastic Bags

Small decorative bags to wrap the chocolate.

At Carrefour, I found some really hideous plastics,

Maroon Rose pattern –Tante Girang style-

What the hell is this pattern doing in kids section?!

At Hero, another sets of ugly patterned plastics

Please... just simple cheesy stars or hearts, please?

I decided to just use plain zip lock bags

And later draw smiley face with marker

Rubber Spatula

To scrap those sticky semi solid chocolate fudge.

Ordinary spoon won’t do the job well.

At Carrefour, this huge place doesn’t have a freaking spatula!

At Hero, browsing around like crazy, no rubber spatula...

Only their own produced hard spatula.
It’s so hard as if it’s dipped in Viagra diluted water.

Just a flexible normal rubber one, please???

Disposable baking tin foil

To mold the chocolate compound before cutting into pieces.

At Carrefour, only small size ones left,

Plus its already torn open, spoiled.

At Hero, I found the correct size,

Just to realize there’s some ugly curve embossed line

In the base of the baking tin foil

Complemented with batch number.

Is it a sin to produce a basic plain tin bake foil?

Cooking Chocolate

Prefer semi-sweet or sugarless cooking chocolate.

to avoid stingy oversweet taste.

The recipe already use a tin of sweet condensed milk.

Both Carrefour and Hero only have full sweet cooking chocolate.

We like it damn sweet here.
Viva Diabetes!

That’s it...

Sorry kids...

I’ll just go with ready to buy
Factory mass produced milk chocolate.

Nigella,
You made it looked so easy and chic.

I dare you to come and do it tasteless Tomang style...
