Whittaker's Chocolate - New Zealand Most Trusted Chocolate Brand | Beans to Bar


With more than 121 years of Chocolate making heritage; New Zealand’s most trusted chocolate brands now aims for a stronger foothold not only in the Malaysian market but also in China, North Asia and South East Asia.


Whittaker’s Chocolate New Zealand has been producing quality chocolates in their factory in Porirua, Wellington for more than a century but it wasn’t until the 1990s that it began to venture further across the region.


Malaysia is currently Whittaker’s fourth largest market, and in the coming years, its Head of International Markets Matt Whittaker, the great-grandson of founder James Henry Whittaker, wants to see the brand increase its market share in Malaysia by at least five-fold.

“We are proud to be an exporter of premium New Zealand produce and to be expanding our community of Whittaker's Chocolate Lovers around the world, ” Whittaker told during the Whittaker's Indulgence Tour at Jaya Grocers Starling Mall.

According to Matt, Whittaker's Chocolates are made from bean to bar; this ensures the quality and taste of each of our products, we know we have total control of each and every step of our chocolate making process, from sourcing the bean to making the bar. 


Whittaker's core range is the Halal Certified and features a variety of flavours available in 200g Blocks, 50g Slab, 50g Chunks and Mini Slabs. 


Whittaker’s positions itself as a premium chocolate brand in the Malaysian market as the chocolates are made in New Zealand and as a result, are slightly more expensive than some bigger chocolate brands which are produced either here or in the region.


Whittaker's also has a premium chocolate range, the Artisan Collection. This range is in 100g sizes and features unique flavours combinations which have been created using the finest ingredients from New Zealand.


Having been voted New Zealand’s most trusted brand for the past six years by the New Zealand Reader’s Digest, Whittaker’s is now also working on to become a brand synonymous with New Zealand for the international community.


The company is also known for its high-level engagement with Whittakers Chocolate Lovers on social media; which enables Whittaker's to share its passion for chocolate and stay connected with what consumers think. Whittaker's Chocolate Lovers Facebook Page currently has about 100,000 followers in Malaysia and Singapore.

Whittaker's will be partnering with Ben's Independent Grocer located at Ikano Power Centre to give away complimentary mini Whittaker's chocolate slab with every chocolate purchased. Promotions run from 12th to 15th October 2017 and are on a first come first serve basis.

HPPNK 2017 Hari Peladang Malaysia Food Fest MAEPS Serdang Selangor


There are a lot of activities and learning experience in this year HPPNK 2017 Hari Peladang Malaysia Food Fest happening at MAEPS Serdang from 28th September 2017 to 1st October 2017 10.00am to 10.00pm.


Guest and trade visitors will be able to look for business opportunities in the agricultural sector. Ranging from farm equipment to seedlings and right to the final food product, there is definitely a lot to start with.


Families will be able to join in this HPPNK 2017 festivities while learning and to be able to guide their young on the importance of agriculture industry as a job and business opportunities.


One of the things that we learn today is the availability of laughing chicken (Ayam Ketawa). Yes, apparently this species from Indonesia origin of chicken makes sounds that mimic a person laugh. 


Too bad when we were there it did not crow probably due to the large crowd at the booth (but the above is a video depicting a similar Ayam Ketawa).


There are also petting zoo for you to really get up close to these farms animals.


The second thing is the Stingless Bees Honey, last year at MAHA 2016, we tasted it fresh from the nest. You can check it out at this link. But, this year they serve us this honey with a texture similar to a salmon roe, where you can pop it in your mouth with a bursting sourish sweet natural taste of this honey.


You can also try out a new product which is Virgin Coconut Oil


And the last exciting avenues is on our last stop at the Food Empayar which I will run thru some of the delicious fare on offer. But for now, some of the other highlights include a cooking demonstration by Celebrity Chef. We only have gotten to see the Chef At Pacific West in action.


Next, we visit the Pineapple booth which showcases its prized pineapples which is MD2 species. This species is a sweet tasting hybrid that is now planted all over Malaysia. Recent research has yielded from the juice to become extract that is Bromelain.


Pineapple Juice from Bob


There are also the King of Fruits store where you can taste the D24 and Musang King varieties that are on sales there. While you are there you can also taste the new durian based food like ice cream and more.


or you can buy some fruits plants on your way home.


Agrobazzar is another stop that you must visit, as there are many Malaysian made food products that are available for you to taste and to buy home.


Examples of these are the Asam Boi Kedondong


Ready-made food 


While you can also taste the flavourful Tuna satay which has the texture of the chicken but a healthier option.


Bird Nest


Other interesting things to do is the contest where you guess the weight of the Lembu Sado with RM20,000.00 prizes to be won.


Or you can guess the number of fruits in this jackfruits


or you can take part in the cooking competition to show your cooking prowess


But for me, the most important one that must not be missed are the loads and loads of food to be eaten at the Food Empayar


starting with Grilled Chicken


Grilled Fish


Fusion Burgers


Cendol Songkok Tinggi


Durian Crepes


Char Kway Teow Food Truck


All-in-all, it has been a super fun and eye-opening experience for everyone at the HPPNK 2017. There are some much things for you to see, watch, explore and taste (many free-tasting booths). New technology, new concept and new inventions are all for us to check out this HPPNK 2017! as the vision of Pertanian adalah Perniagaan - Agriculture is Business.


Up close with the Malaysia Minister of Agriculture YB Dato' Sri Ahmad Shabery Cheek who made this event so successful.
