KITKAT as a brand has existed for over the past 83 years and it all began in 1935, where KITKAT becomes a family of Nestle since 1988 (my birth year!).


Today, it is Malaysia's leading chocolate brand and love by many through many generations over the decades; It's also exported globally across 14 countries and the first global confectionary brand to be made from 100% sustainable cocoa source through the Nestle Cocoa Plan.

As I was taken down memory lane on the true beginnings of KITKAT and how it began to how it derived to its glorious taste and wonders today, it was definitely an educational moment for me to get to know KITKAT personally behind-the-scenes.




Little did I know (or rather I didn't know at all!), that Nestle Cocoa Plan helps improve the lives of cocoa farmers who are within the Nestle supply chain. And this is something that should be mentioned because not many corporate giants will go down to the nitty gritty to really put their sincerity and concern in the welfare of their resources and human resources I am talking about. Because you may have probably heard of such news last time where child labour and gender inequalities to low incomes for farmers is quite known to most of the world.


However, in line with Nestle's purpose of enhancing quality of life and contributing to a healthier future, their initiative to improve the livelihoods of cocoa-growing communities in the Ivory Coast by providing resources for them to manage their farms and livelihoods, truly helps in providing a solution the the challenges faced by these farmers and their family. With proper training and best practices, you will know it when you have yourself a KITKAT, you can truly taste your love of chocolate through every bite you take! I believe it's because of the passion and the love that begins from its seed right until it is harvested by the farmers with care. The Nestle Cocoa Plan operates under 3 simple pillars, which are, Better Farming, Better Lives and Better Cocoa. A 100% sustainably sourced Nestle KITKAT cocoa without any child labour, mistreated farmers, nor gender inequality in the process of the making, really makes a huge difference!


Today they have launched the Ruby chocolate that is the latest discovery and it is now available in KITKAT Chocolatory stores in Malaysia. It has a sweet and slightly sour tinge of taste in it's pretty-in-pink melt in your mouth chocolatory sensation that you will not miss. It is the first new chocolate in its original form that is created ever since dark, milk and white chocolate was created 80 years ago. Ruby chocolate has no added flavouring, colouring additives or genetic modification, it was made by Swiss chocolate and cocoa processor Barry Callebaut from specially-selected Ruby cocoa beans that is only found in major cocoa-growing regions that even includes places such as Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Brazil.


The one-of-a-kind chocolate actually makes me really curious how KITKAT is going to market it to the public and I was delighted to know that they have the KITKAT Ruby chocolate in their most famous four-finger wafer bar!




And the KITKAT Chocolatory store in Mid Valley actually has samples that you can try their variety of KITKAT products on certain days (especially weekends); But that's not all! You also get to purchase unique KITKAT chocolates that you don't always see it over-the-shelf at the mart etc. The best part about this store, is you can even have a go at customizing your own KITKAT chocolate by choosing the ingredients to your KITKAT (up to 3 ingredients).

KITKAT Green Tea - This is made with real Green Tea leaves to give consumers the true exotic and pure green tea flavour


KITKAT Duo Teh Tarik - This is super unique and I bet most Malaysians will love this for their tea time or even breakfast or supper!! The flavour is really rich with Teh Tarik taste of tea with milk and sugar. Tastes really rich, really really rich! Be warned! You may not stop. Smells exactly like Teh Tarik.
KITKAT Rose (Limited Chinese New Year edition) - This is Rose Bandung, really tastes like syrup with milk except slightly more milky also because of the chocolate texture that is already milky itself. But the syrul flavour gave this Rose Bandung chocolate a very gentle and sweet unique blend of a tinge of lightly sweetened milk chocolate. It is fragrant too, smells just like Rose Bandung.


Pls head over to their store because you will be definitely be in for a treat! I super love their Chinese New Year creations, particularly the KITKAT Pineapple Tart Chocolate, the taste is uncanny!

Am sure you will be well aware that the OPPO Find X recently launched in Malaysia on the 17th July 2018 retailing at RRP RM3,699. However, do you know why it's slapped with such a premium price tag? And is it even worth it?


Well, I'll leave that to you to decide because everyone has their own set of budget for a smartphone. However, let me share with you why I think this flagship smartphone is suited for it's price!



It's sleek and chic design can enable you to view more with it's 93.8% visual screen ratio, that's almost having an all-screen in the front! In fact, the OPPO Find X features a brand new design innovation with hole-less front and rear panel. It really feels elegant to touch and truly expresses the "beauty of nature" with it's smooth inlaid 3D glass on the edges.


It even comes in two gradient color, the Bordeaux Red and Glacier Blue. I love the Bordeaux Red the most! Under bright light, you can see the OPPO Find X shines like a crystal and flowing water; where the gradient color changes with your surroundings.


During official launch of the OPPO Find X, Keda'Z, OPPO Malaysia exclusive photographer was invited up on stage to introduce it's design and camera features. "The reflection of the OPPO Find X from different angles is truly a gem. When I first saw the OPPO Find X, my inspirations started flowing immediately as I was hit from all directions by ideas on different photos I could take" said Keda'Z. And I agree with him, when I first saw the device today, I was and still am amazed by it's imaging capabilities as OPPO has never failed to surprise me with it's camera features. It's 16+20 Megapixels AI-enhanced Dual Camera on the back and 25 Megapixel on the front camera.


Actress and model Zahirah MacWilson, uses the OPPO Find X and it was really interesting to watch as she showed examples on stage with the different photo light mode settings that brings a different feature in her own image.


Because if you are interested in taking photos and if you really look into photography, you will know that it is important to have good lighting and as much natural lighting as possible! OPPO Find X has just that; It includes an Optical image stabilization that helps provide a brighter and more stable photo capturing performance. Even in a setting with lots of bright light, the OPPO Find X actually tunes the lighting perfectly to ensure that even you & even the bright light bulb can still be seen in the photo! Talk about innovation!

Innovative Sliding Structure : You're probably wondering what on earth is this! Well, if you have the fear of getting your camera lens scratched, fear no more! This sliding feature is pretty neat for it's design. The OPPO Find X completely disguises the cameras within the body of the phone! Both front and back cameras! Just watch the video and you'll know what I'm talking about.



This special sliding mechanism does not only does as it says, it is strictly tested that it can sense the falling distance and get hidden within the phone, which balance the artistic design with user durability! It's pretty neat especially, it's like having a premium sleek, smooth smartphone with full screen viewing mode. I can even protect my camera from fingerprints (from my kids from touching touching...)


3D Structured Light Face : This features a higher level of security versus the fingerprint identification. It makes unlocking safer and way easier, even it dark environment, you can easily unlock your device with this technology. The OPPO Find X is able to project 15,000 dots, building a precise and complete 3D module of a user's face feature, and then compares it with the registered face of the device owner to unlock (even in the dark, must repeat incase you missed this!) But that's not the only highlight to this; OPPO Find X is the FIRST Android smartphone to support payment via Alibaba's Alipay through FACE RECOGNITION! Now that is the next level to making payments, in your face!


AI Scene Recognition : I know this may not seem like a new thing but it's my favourite so am still gonna highlight this. It supports over 20 scenarios of photography and over 800 scenario combinations. Basically, if you're a foodie and love taking photos of food, with the OPPO Find X, it can detect it's scene setting and enhance it's lighting and camera setting to fit the scene recognition! Perfect if you find it complicated doing manual adjusting to your camera settings, like the aperture, the white balancing, the ISO etc etc and the list goes on.


OPPO & Lamborghini collaboration! This is one flagship high-end device, if you are a collector and a fan of OPPO or Lamborghini, you shouldn't miss this! The OPPO Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition, featuring the same carbon fiber texture (commonly used in Lamborghini sports cars) that covers the exterior of the phone body.


This collection also features a unique Color OS theme of it's own and expression itself through it's speed of SuperVOOC Flash Charge! For the first time, the phone charging for the OPPO Find X Automobili Lamborghini Edition exceeds 50W, which means it can be fully charged in 30-35 minutes max! This definitely gives a run for your money!
