Patchi Price Hike

Everybody in the household loved Patchi. But they were not exactly cheap. And since the 1st of January, there was a price hike of almost 40%!

I learned it the hard way after I made my order and was about to pay. I had to double check the price. It was certainly a steep climb. That was the effect of our Ringgit falling I was sure ....

Crazy Chocolates

One of Anita's weakness was chocolate and when it came to that, she loved Patchi. There were a few outlets that do them in town and the nearest one to us was Bangsar Shopping Centre.

Patchi were not cheap. And exploring the place the other night we peeked at the Raya hampers that they sold. They were going in the thousands of ringgit. One of the bowl filled with chocolate actually went for RM5000! That was what an average Malaysian blue collar worker make in a month!

These were going in the thousands

My God! But any hampers to my clinic from Patchi were actually most welcomed if you catch my drift ....

Chocolates!!!

We did not plan to shop while we were in Langkawi. All we had in mind was some time off and the beach. The hotel we stayed in was also well away from the main town. There were hardly any opportunity to shop there.

Luckily, the driver was kind enough to take us to some shops on our way back to the jetty. The boys got their wish - chocolates!

And the chocolates there were damn cheap! Much cheaper than I expected. No wonder people loved to shop in Langkawi. We could get anything else though as we don't have any more space to carry them.

So, a quick stop, grab what we could and that was about it .....
