Daifuku Chronicles II

Happy New Year!!!

Here is another set of goodies i tried recently. The melon flavor was quite refreshing with some green tea. This has more mochi than the bigger daifukus.

This year I will like to integrate my love for movies and drama shows with this blog. I will include a some of my favorite food movies and dramas that are really cool.  I am really excited for this new year and for new adventures that will come by!!! Yay!

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.

Teaventures - Hoji!

After try many types of tea, this tea (Hoji cha) just blew me away (or rather my taste buds :) ). Its nothing like I've ever tasted or expected.

One can just taste the careful toasting application to the tea. Its just spectacular. For people who drink black tea and not so much fond of green tea, this tea would be a great addition to their tea repertoire. It has such a beautiful brown hue. Absolutely fabulous!
