Got USD300 consumption vouchers from the HK government in an effort to boost the economy. I've used some to buy skin care products, groceries this morning. I wanted to give myself a treat. Bought a box of Lindt dark chocolate (85%). Quality dark chocolate is rich in iron, magnesium, copper, manganese. It also has plenty of potassium, phosphorus, zinc, and selenium. However, it comes with moderate amounts of sugar, calories and caffeine. For this reason, dark chocolates should be consumed in moderation. Do you love chocolates? Milk or dark?

I like milk and dark chocolates. Pretty prefers milk chocolate. When we buy a mixed box of chocolates, I know I'm getting all the dark chocolates in the box.

What percentage do you like? I prefer 85%. I find 90% too bitter.

90-99% is a healthy choice. I just find it too bitter.

I like the slightly bitter taste of dark chocolate. But it's a matter of personal preference.
I don't like white chocolate too.

@Beestring It is healthy, but you have to get used to the taste. It's chocolate with no nothing but pure cocoa in it!

I take dark chocolates in winter to boost my immunity. I don't take them in summer as it increases body heat.

@Beestring In India the climatic condition does not go with dark chocolates in summer.

@aninditasen It's hot in Hong Kong too. I think having 1-2 pieces once in a while should be okay.

When I used to eat candy bars before I preferred the milk chocolate and once in a while dark chocolate. Now, I do not eat candy bars at all and still buy cakes and brownies and eat them in moderation but whatever chocolate is on top I do not mind.

I used to love chocolate in general as a kid but when I started having dental issues I couldn't eat them and I just never got back to eating chocolate. I can't say I never eat it but it's rare and when I do it's usually milk chocolate.

@Beestring If I have no choice, and all dark chocolate in the table, I'll get dark chocolate. But if there's milk chocolate. I will choose the milk chocolate.

@luisga814 Dark chocolate is healthier and not so sweet, if you don't mind the bitter taste.

A chocolate fan here! My favorite is caramel chocolate and of course milk but I used to eat dark chocolate during college for energy a lot and the habit stayed. I like the dark fruit one usually orange. I can only eat maybe 3 pieces at the time.

@Beestring it’s amazing one of my favorites. But like you said it needs to be taken in moderation so I always take it a little at a time. It’s my guilty pleasure lol

You are lucky living in HK,the social welfare is so nice.No wonder so many Chinese wanna emigrate to HK.I ate chocolate only in winter,the weather was too hot in Summer,the chocolate wasn't tolerant of heat.I had a preference on Dark Chocolates which smell more scented.

The consumption voucher is not social welfare. This is a one time handout. Rich people can get it too. It's just a measure used by the HK government to boost the economy. Dark chocolate is healthier.
