Russell Crowe, Rebecca Gibney, the Lamington. These are commonly fought over by Australia and New Zealand. Today, we need your help settling this age-old debate.
Whittaker’s, New Zealand’s beloved chocolate brand, has teamed up with Tokyo Lamington, the master of reimagined lamingtons, to help settle the heated discussion once and for all: Is the lamington truly a New Zealand invention, or is it Australia’s iconic treat?
Now available, Tokyo Lamington has created three delicious lamingtons to represent both sides of the debate and give fans the chance to enjoy a new twist on the classic treat. The three limited-edition creations include:
•The Coconut Block Lamington - a tribute to Australia’s favourite Whittaker’s block, The Coconut Block, this lamington is bursting with the rich, creamy coconut flavour that Aussies love.
•The Creamy Milk Lamington - inspired by New Zealand’s favourite Whittaker’s block, Creamy Milk, this lamington brings together smooth, velvety milk chocolate in perfect harmony with the classic lamington.
•The People’s Choice Lamington - chosen by the public through a voting process, this lamington gives everyone the opportunity to contribute their own flavour idea to the ultimate debate.
"At Tokyo Lamington, we’re all about reimagining the classic lamington and we couldn’t be more excited to work with Whittaker’s to settle The Great Lamington Debate. We’ve put our unique spin on two of New Zealand and Australia’s favourite Whittaker’s blocks and we can’t wait to share these delicious creations with our community,” says Eddie Stewart, Co-Founder of Tokyo Lamington.
"We’re inviting all chocolate Lovers to join the conversation, enjoy some amazing flavours and help decide the ultimate lamington champion.”
The Whittaker’s x Tokyo Lamington creations will be available to purchase individually or in a three-pack. Check out Whittaker’s and Tokyo Lamington on Instagram at @whittakersnz and @tokyolamington and join the conversation.
May the best lamington win!
