Rainier Cherries

Rainier Cherries are firm, large sweet cherries with pale creamy-yellow flesh with pinkish tones, and yellow skin that has a pink flush to it.
Rainier Cherries are very popular in Japan, where they will sell for about $1.00 US each in Japan (2006 prices.)
I tried them and they were delicious and sweet with a peachy cherry taste to it.

Marmite rice cakes

I love marmite, so there was no hesitation getting these rice crackers.

As well as rice crackers, they also do marmite cereal bars, Marmite breadsticks, Marmite Cheddar bites.

The rice crackers were really nice and the taste of marmite was stronger than I expected.

Meiji The Earl Grey chocolate

I love Earl Grey tea so I just got it.

The packaging from the outside to the inside was really good especially with the use of the colour lilac.
Inside, each piece of chocolate was individually wrapped.
Although the labelling said it was a stick, I felt it looked like a thin bar with thickness was about 0.5cm and 8cm in length.

The Earl grey flavouring was intense with a twinge of bitterness and I really loved it, however if darker chocolate was used it would taste better because I found it too milky and sweet.

There was only six in the pack, I wish there was more because they got addictive for someone that is not fond of chocolates.

St Honore's bolognaise puff?

In general the bakery at St Honore tastes OK. The bakery is quite westernized.

Saw this poster for the winter series which features a puff pastry, in Chinese the direct translation is Herbs and tomato meat sauce puff.

I wonder if they mean puff pasty with bolognaise sauce in it.

I think I am going to try it.
