Daifuku Chronicles

The Asian market near my place is a treasure trove. Sometime I just hop in there to just look at the cute and strange/unknown food items that i have never seen before. The first time I had a Japanese Daifuku, I was not too amazed by it. It was really strange to have sweet beans as a dessert treat. As time went on, it really grew on me. I really like Daifuku now.

My new favorite is the sesame seed Daifuku. I also tried a white and pink color one, they were quite good too. Although color was the only difference between them.

Beginnings of new love

Spring is such a perfect season, especially in B-town. In many other countries spring is simply a term. The people there can only experience two weathers: winter and summer. Being able to experience winter, spring, summer, autumn is such a delight. It is the perfect season to be with the ones you love and just enjoy the beautiful weather together.

I ended up taking a few pictures of the beautiful flowers in my garden this week and also of the beautiful cherry blossoms. Please enjoy!

And of course i have to talk about food. I mean come on! I love it how different seasons make you crave certain types of food. For example, in winter something warm and savory, in summer something cool and light and spring something fresh and comforting.

Pbear recently introduced green tea ice cream. I was skeptical initially, but i ended up loving it! I love it when desserts are not too sweet and just give that enough 'something' to satisfy your craving. Also green tea ice cream goes amazingly well with peach jello. Its sooooo good.
