Biscuit-y Vendredi

Pucca Chocolate – Baked Custard

I’ve always given the Pucca range from Meiji ‘OK’s so far. This time, the light blue of the pack appealed to me more than the flavor though. Baked custard Pucca?! What would that taste like!? (Actually this was another recommendation from Lois, and it helped that I was confident about her recommendations hahaha)

Someone once told me they are all the same. But the person who first recommended the original Pucca (no not the cartoon character) to me actually highlighted that the biscuits are differently shaped. Some are fish and some are octopus (octopi?) and some have only two tentacles so I have no idea what they are. There is one thing that’s the same for all flavors though, and that’s the word ‘chocolate’ after ‘Pucca’. This happens even if the flavored cream is strawberry or in this case, baked custard.

My skeptical opinion about the flavor was immediately corrected after I put the first fish/octopus into my mouth. The sweet aroma of the crispy biscuit coupled with the thick custard flavor made me smile. (As you can see I was doing my work then – and it was regarding my Lit Review so I was quite upset.)

I must say the flavors are very sweet though, and this is one I can’t sit and finish everything in one sitting. The small pack lasted me about three to four days and nope, there’s no inexplicable craving I have for it unlike Fran or something. So this gets another OK from me. Nevertheless, I think I’m one of the few who would say Meiji named these creatures Pucca before the girl in red was. Here’s an tvcm for you!

After Taste: A bit too sweet really, but nice!
