Japanese instant soup


Some Japanese product that requires adding hot water and turns into soup.
It has clams and seaweed.

W.L Food CORN BITS chicken flavour

These are snacks made in the Philippines.
They are pieces of deep fried sweetcorn but not quite like popcorn.
Overall they were nice but the artificial chicken flavouring was too strong.

Fake pig ears made in China

http://chinanews24.net/2012/05/pictures-fake-pig-ears-found-sold-in-jiangxi/
Recently, fake pig ears were found being sold in the market of Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. The local Bureau of Industry and Commerce has seized some of these processed artificial pig ears, and sent to the local product-testing authority for examination.
According to their preliminary conclusion, these fake pig ears could have been made from the industry gelatin and plastic material.

Circle K Exclusive : Hokkaido-Yo

Saw these bright green ice-cream tubs behind the counter at Circle K so I had a closer look.
It turns out they were Hokkaido style froyo, an exclusive product of Circle K.
There were three flavours fuji apple, grape and Original.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It was interesting having them at different temperatures!
Straight from the freezer or letting it defrost for a while.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hokkaido-Yo Original
The texture was light and airy like mousse and I loved it.
It was really nice and creamy but the texture was like whipped melted marshmallow.
There was some slight Froyo taste too but not the Yakult type of taste.
Anyway I'll be back for more.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hokkaido-Yo Apple
The texture was the same as above and the taste of the fuji apple was really prominent.
It has that strong taste you get from chewing apple skin of fuji apple.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hokkaido-Kyoho grape
The texture was the same as above and the taste was not as fake as I thought it would be.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Guava drops - Classic series

I am not keen on products from China because you never know what chemicals they use, but anyway I don't think one sweet will do much harm.

I tried it because this fruit drop was guava flavoured which is quite rare.
Inside there is a tiny ball shaped sweet that is light green.


The overall taste was really nice and similar to real guava and it tastes the same as Vita's guava juice drink.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I doublt I would try their other products but some were interesting such as the taro milk sweet.

Husband cake



Tried this HUSBAND CAKE which is a savory version of the WIFE CAKE, it tasted the same with a hint of savouryness but I still found it too sweet.
A wife cake is a traditional Chinese pastry with flaky and thin skin made with winter melon, almond paste, and sesame, and spiced with five spice powder (Chinese spice blend of fennel seed, star anise, licorice root and cloves).

Coca Cola's SOKENBICHA

Tried this tea from Coca Cola called Sokenbicha and it just tasted like roasted green tea and it was savoury!
