Wonderfarm Coconut Cream Wafer
by Paul Arthur on Jan.31, 2010, under food, snack food
Background: I love cream wafers. There’s something about the crunchy layers that appeals to me on a visceral level. This specimen comes in individually packaged servings and is made in Vietnam for a Malaysian company called Wonderfarm Biscuits & Confectionery. Oh, and they’re coconut flavoured.
Nose: Grainy and sweet, dried coconut.
Taste: Sadly dry and dusty, though nicely crunchy. There’s coconut flavour there, but it’s oddly oily and unpleasant.
Overall: Cream wafers don’t aspire to the level of haute cuisine on their best day, and this isn’t their best day.
