Apollo Milk Chocolate Wafer Cream (also known as Wafer Dengan Krim Coklat in Malay) is one of my favorite snacks that I grew up eating. The popular 80s / 90s chocolate wafer was one of the common sight in birthday or Children Day goodie bags that I received as a kid. Back then, it was literally every kid’s dream snack.
The snack is almost exitinct now, so it is pretty hard to find. I just happened to chance upon this while scrolling through Shopee and decided to buy it to reminisce the good ol' times.
It is usually sold in a pack of 12 and the price is ridiculously cheap. I paid RM 2.20 for a pack, which works out to about 20 cents each. Each of it is wrapped in a red foiled paper, which looks cheap and boring.
A bite of it instantly transported me back to my childhood. This is basically wafer biscuits coated with a semi sweet chocolate covering.
The chocolate coating around the wafer tends to melt in the hot weather and smeared easily on the wrapper paper. I remember that I will always lick the chocolate off the wrapper paper because they were so delicious that I didn't want to let them go to waste. It taste like cheap chocolate, but it was not overly sweet. However, for some reason, I still love it. It is probably because I have so many fond memories of eating this snack growing up. Well, I guess most of the kids would love this because we didn't have a lot of options back then.
