In different flavours. I thought they would taste like huat kueh, which can be gotten from pasar malams, but these taste different. They are much denser. The green one's green tea, the marbled one's chocolate, and I can't figure out the taste of the other 2. The orange one is mango perhaps? I like the green tea best of course.

Burt's Bees Lemon Poppy Seed Facial Cleanser + Orange Essence Facial Cleanser
A long time ago, I got a few Burt's Bees products from the States at a much cheaper price as compared to locally, but it seems that they are now not allowed to ship Burt's Bees overseas. I wanted to try the Lemon Poppy Seed Facial Cleanser for the longest time and finally decided to just get it from Sephora @ $18. Smelling tart like freshly-squeezed lemononade,I use this as a cold cream to remove makeup, soften or hydrate the skin rather than as a scrub. The poppy seeds offer little/no abrasive factor whatsoever, especially to one who is used to scrubs made with crushed walnut/almond. A great perk-me-up, and did you know lemons helps in brightening the skin?
I love the Orange Essence Facial Cleanser that I got a couple of years back as well. In fact, I prefer the scent of oranges to that of lemons, as it feels 'warmer', if you get what I mean. This, as opposed to the Lemon Poppy Cleanser, is more of a gel than a cream. It smells just as good. I use this as a massage gel and the body heat eventually melts the gel into oil. Contrary to the instructions on the packaging, I have to wash both cleansers off with soap as they as very heavy and would otherwise leave my face extremely greasy. However, these are two products that I would repurchase any day.
