While growing up, I thought chin chin was always hard, because all the chin chin I enjoyed was hard.

I continued with hard chin chin because I loved it and had no option.

One day I went to one super market and saw a well packaged chin chin with a different shapes and a sizes, unlike the normal squared shaped chin chin we were used to .

The sizes were really bold and looked soft and truly it was .

So, I bought some then, twas that day I knew that it was very possible for a chin chin to be really soft. Lol!
