Sweet crystallized ginger series by Chilson
It was gingerly sweet of them :P
Chilson was founded in 1920 by Mr Christopher Kong.
Legend has it that Queen Mary ordered crystallized ginger made by the ginger experts Mr Kongs to be served at royal banquets.
The crystallized ginger and other ginger products are supplied to UK, Germany, Holland, Australia etc.
Currently there are now three flavours of crystallized ginger to suit different tastes in the modern world:
Original, Plum juice and Black sugar.
All of these are made with natural fresh stem ginger and made into Crystallized ginger.

Original crystallized ginger:
The ginger was very spicy but sweet at the same time.

Black sugar crystallized ginger:
The appearance of this was nice, it was pieces of crystallized sugar dusted in black sugar.
The taste of this was very pleasing because the black sugar taste was quite strong.
Plum juice crystallized ginger:

The ginger had a nice plum taste with an unami touch.
It tastes similar to those preserved red coloured gingers with sugar coated on it, but this one is healthier because there is no red colouring.

Overall, the quality of this was good and they come in resealable bags.
Each piece of ginger is uniform and just the right size to pop in your mouth.
My personal favourites were the Original and black sugar.

Tokuno 8.2 Rum Raisin Flavoured Milk Candy
These sweets had a strong milk and creamy taste, however the taste of Rum was extremely light.
The packaging of the sweets was quite nice, it is a slim sliding tray.

I just felt like sharing the Agnes B design on the tin.
Ginger candy from China
I do not know what brand these are, but they are pulled sugar candy made with ginger.
They were rather sweet.

FOX's glacier fruit sweets - strawberry flavour
Fox's glacier sweets are a British brand, but somehow the one I have here is an Indonesian version which is wrapped differently probably due to their hot climate.
In UK they are wrapped in wrappers with the two ends twisted, but the Indonesian version is seal.
The shape of the sweet is also different.

SUGUS Raspberry flavour chews
SUGUS Raspberry flavour chews is a new flavour in the Sugas range.
To my disappointment all sugus sweet taste the same, they all have a strong Japanese yakult taste to it
and the raspberry flavouring was so faint!

Tan Kim Hock : Coconut Candy
Tried this coconut candy from Malaysia, it has that typical asian coconut candy taste which is different from the coconut sweets we have in the Western countries, the colour is brown and not white.

Cute mini Japanese pots of sweet snacks
These colourful tiny pots caught my attention but I can't read Japanese so I did not know what they were.
Although the lids are different colours the flavours were all the same according to the shop keeper, she did not know what they were exactly but she said they were yogurt.
Anyway when I opened it, the stuff inside was like white whipped cream.
It was sugary as well with a faint taste of yakult but very sweet.
The colour of it was white and slightly glistening.
It came with a cute wooden stick (spatula) just like those lolly sticks.
Japanese black sugar wagashi
This snack looked interesting and it was quite big in size so I picked it up.
I was surprised how light it was.
The texture of this bar was like compacted candy floss and those artificial glass fibres used for insulation.
The black sugar taste was strong and it got sweeter towards the end.
