Francis Pineapple cakes

Got these lovely Taiwanese pineapple cakes from a friend.

The pastel blue packaging and design was really nice, each pineapple cake was individually wrapped and colour coded.

There were five flavours:
-Coconut
-Lemon
-Walnut and coffee
-Macadamia and sunflower seeds
-Flax seeds

Coconut:

I really liked this because it had dried coconut flakes on the pastry which gave it a great mouthfeel and coconutty taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Lemon:

Lemon was also my favourite because it was refreshing and an unusual flavour.

Walnut and coffee:

The flavour of this was quite strong with a hint of coffee that was not bitter balanced by the walnuts.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Macadamia and sunflower seeds:
This was had a lot of texture in it because there were sunflower seeds and macadamia pieces in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Flaxseeds:
This one was similar to the above, but flaxseeds are smaller than sunflower seeds.

Egaonowakka 徳用チョコ

From the packaging you can't quite guess what these are because its all in Japanese.

On the English it is labelled as: Choco snack.

Basically it is a hollow corn stick coated in delicious chocolate.

The corn snack reminds me of maize crisps such as monster munch but a sweet version.

The taste of these snacks were really nice and it tastes really familiar to something which I can't remember.

Fauchon paris asahi eclair sweet milk tea

Got this because it was Eclair flavoured.
A very unusual flavour! But in Japan they have all sorts of unusual flavours.

It was really sweet and had a lovely sweet scent, it basically tastes like silky western milk tea without the bitterness and it was like candy and drinks flavoured by famous syrups such as Monins.

The colour of the tea was the usual dark beige.
