Today...

was the FIRST day of my journey. Yes! It is true! I have been waiting for this day to come since the completion of my proposal! I just wanted to start this "amusing journey" as early as I can possibly make. I even started to buy different brands and flavors of chocolate from the supermarket that I used to go to, and store them in the food cabinet.
So, on this big day, I firstly tasted one of the chocolate flavors from Ferrero CollectionFerrero Garden (Coconut) that I received as a gift from the aunt of my friend. I actually love to eat the original flavor
Ferrero Rocher, however,I dislike eating the flavor that I tried today simply because of the coconut slices.

As a whole, I think this Ferrero Gardrn (Coconut) can still be considered as a healthy chocolate, probably because of the amount of sugar it consists. Humans are recommended to take no more than 40 grams of sugar per day. Although the price for a piece is not really inexpensive, however, the production procedures must be very complicated. Hence, I think the price is actually quite reasonable and worth buying.
