When we were at KLCC recently, I was bursting with excitement when I saw the newly opened Garrett's popcorn at the entrance of the escalator. I quickly joined in the long bee-line to get myself a bag of popcorns too. But my eyes almost popped out from the socket when I saw the price! The smallest bag of Cheese Corn is RM16 and the smallest bag of Caramel Crisp with almonds is over RM20 (can't remember the exact price). But I still got 2 flavours - a small bag of Cheese Corn and a small bag of Caramel Crisp with almonds to justify my long wait and so that I would have something to write about in this blog!
Verdict : Cheese Corn kernels were not crunchy -- the texture was a tad rubbery and tasted like they were exposed to air and not fresh. It was also too salty for kids plus the cheese powder left some strong yellow stains on our fingers. However, they were very cheesy and pretty tasty. If only they could perfect the texture of the popcorns so that they would POP in your mouth, then it would deserve a better rating.
Caramel Crisp with almonds is crunchy and everyone loved it. But for weight watchers and diabetics, this is strictly a big no-no as it's pretty sweet. Corns are naturally high in carbs too.
Would I buy them again? Maybe no as I think it's overly priced.

yes, i think they are overpriced too. the other overpriced sweet desert is pak fu tong. I'd go for bubble tea anytime :D
I think it's nice but so not worth the queue and the price.
First and last time for me :)
I guess everything that comes in from overseas cost a bomb! I still prefer popcorn at the cinemas if I have the craving :-)

They have one in 1U too. Now I understand why the line is no longer there.
That pricing is robbery, plain and simple. Plain airpopped popcorn is actually low calorie but still carb-y. Can u get microwave popcorn in KL? We usually get unsalted and add our own butter/ seasonings etc.
I've eaten them twice now. Pretty addictive actually. I would love to eat the macadamia ones but too expensive. caramel crisp is good but darn fattening. i bought the chicago mix last week...just because Ashley wanted the cheese ones. I prefer just the plain caramel crisp.
