Where got? I know they are available here as I saw some approximately last May. Traditionally this has been a once a year Christmas treat in my family, but now that Christmas is here I can't find any. Anybody seen them recently??

NTUC used to stock them....... I went so far as to buy 10 a week from the ones in Pasir Ris ( Downtown East and White Sands) , sadly it wasn't enough to keep the store manager interested in them.
I haven't seen any in Singapore for ages.
If you spot them again , please post where you found them as I too would like a Chocolate Orange Christmas.

Mustafa centre sell them. I saw them a few weeks back.
I can't remember whereabouts and on which floor; you're gonna have so much fun asking someone to help you find them!!
Cue gormless looks.......

Mustafa sell them most of the time - not just at Christmas. I've seen them in Cold Storage too lately - the ones at Centrepoint and Paragon.
I also got Minstrels at Centrepoint CS

Cold Storage / Mustafa it is then ........
Mustafa's is a good excuse to get a Christmas curry in as well, nothing like the traditional British Christmas.

Just came back from Mustafa: NO DICE
I did manage to get a package of individual segments of various flavours...not quite the same if you don't have to whack it before you unwrap it
Is there another section of Mustafa other than the giant candy emporium on the main floor where they might be found??
Also checked Guardian/Carrefour at Plaza Singapura...still on the hunt.
My local CSs don't have them, neither do any candy store or drug store in VivoCity or Harbourfront Centre. Guess a trip up to Orchard is next.

I saw them in Cold Storage@Causeway Point (Woodlands) for around $7. I think they were £4.50 for three in WHSmith last year in England.

$3?? That's highway robbery! The time has passed, but I might still check it out at that price...

Will go and investigate tomorrow. $3 is less than NTUC used to charge.
