The beloved chocolate brand celebrates local flavours
by spotlighting kuih stalls with the new limited edition variant
KUALA LUMPUR, 9 August 2021 – Seri Muka, Ketayap and Onde-Onde…these classic kuih-muihs share flavours that are synonymous with the nation’s identity – Pandan Coconut. As a tribute to the familiar tastes that shape our nation’s identity, Cadbury Dairy Milk is excited to introduce their latest innovation, Cadbury Dairy Milk Pandan Coconut which blends the brand’s signature smooth milk chocolate with fragrant pandan and dried coconut bits. With this new flavour, the brand also aims to evoke the attribute of generosity amongst Malaysians to support local kuih vendors who have been adversely impacted by the current pandemic through an initiative themed #MYCadburyFlavours.
Made with Malaysians in mind, Cadbury Dairy Milk Pandan Coconut is the third limited edition localised variant from Cadbury Malaysia since 2018, following the well-received Cadbury Dairy Milk Kopi C and Cadbury Dairy Milk Durian in previous years. The iconic local heritage flavour of aromatic pandan and sweet coconut remains another timeless flavour that has been fondly enjoyed by Malaysians through generations.
In celebration of Cadbury Dairy Milk Pandan Coconut and the flavours of Malaysia, Cadbury Malaysia is giving back to the community that was part of the local flavour inspiration by putting their businesses on the map through the hashtag #MyCadburyFlavours. With the collective effort of Malaysians through the hashtag, Cadbury Malaysia will be creating a digital presence for selected vendors by promoting their businesses through paid adverts on social media.
The pandemic has caused many small-scale local businesses to struggle to survive. In times like these, it’s important that we continue to uphold our resilience as a nation and help one another. To achieve this, the brand hopes to give our local heritage heroes the recognition they deserve by raising awareness for them in order for them to sustain their businesses, and supporting their livelihoods through this campaign.
