Happy New Year + Candy!
1132 days agoI wish all my readers a Happy New Year! I know it is a bit too late to be wishing you guys a Happy New Year but it is better late than never right? I just hope that this year will be better than last year. 2008 was full of ups and downs. We saw Singapore’s economy rising very high and then at the end of the year dropping like a brick. Perhaps it was expected, seeing that the massive inflation we had was felt world wide, it will bound to take it’s toll on the world’s economy. Well, let’s cross our fingers and hope that by the middle of this year, the economy will bounce back and we can all get back to our free spending ways!
Err….for those who don’t care about the economy and don’t give a damn about what the New Year brings, I have well…..candy for you! I got this from Sheng Siong Supermarket. Yes, it is pretty common but I think it is unique at the same time. It is actually a soft gummy candy made into vegetable shapes. So guess it is like eating vegetables and fruits made out of sugar. Cool isn’t it? Looks healthy but we know that it isn’t. And who here doesn’t like Gummy Candy?
Well, one bottle of the vegetable/fruit shaped candy costs about S$1.80. If you have a sweet tooth like me, this should be a reasonably priced sugar-filled enjoyment for you. Surprisingly, it taste very good. I mean, it is made out of sugar what!
The name of the sweet is First Food Jelly Candy. From what I know, there is no Jelly in this bottle. The correct term should be Gummy! Oh, check out the ingredients – Sugar, Glucose, Pecilin, Gelatine, Critic Acid, Flavour and Food Colour. Yah! Let’s get our sugar binge started.
That cat is holding the strawberry with it’s tail. Amazing!

See, Gummy made into the shapes of vegetables and fruits. It actually looks kind of tempting. I couldn’t help myself, so I tried a few pieces before I gave the bottle to my nephew. Yes, it is tasty stuff and not too sweet (for a candy). I had expected it to be like cheap sucrose filled candies you commonly find at our local store, but surprisingly, it tasted decent enough, even for an adult to enjoy.
Okay guys, bye for now. I hope that you have enjoyed your New Year. Now, it’s wait for the Chinese New Year holidays. It happens this month end and we get a very long weekend as well. Hoooray!
