Donut With Ice Cream

Yup! you heard me right - Krispy Kreme has this new donut with ice cream from the end of March till end of August - yums or ewwww?  it’s depends - hahah!! i wouldn’t mind trying it - after all i loved mango and caramel - but some people are already commenting that it’s heart clogging and artery blocking - but who cares right now eh - when japan is suffering with natural disaster - some sweetness is good no?

American Ice Cream In Japan

There are Baskin Robbins in Japan but the Japanese don’t called it Baskin Robins - they called it the 31 ice cream - hhaha! funny eh!   As of July 2010, Baskin Robbins opened its 1000 store in Japan - lots eh!  Since it’s Baskin Robbins in Japan - you can expect red bean and green tea flavors in their 31 different flavor of ice cream they offer in Japan.  Tokyo Dome City and Azuba is the place we usually get our Baskin Robbins ice cream - so if you are in Japan and miss your American ice cream - you can check out Baskin Robbins.

Designer Candies

Eitaro is a your designer candy store.  They celebrated their 150th anniversary last year and at their Isetan store they have the limited candies, the store is pretty unique. There are many kind of pretty looking candies from  liquid candies, board candies, alphabet candies and more.

These are strawberry & almond board candies. They are  crunchy and melts in your mouth.  You can get them from Isetan @ Shinjuku.  Pretty awesome if you asked me.

Speciality Kit Kat

Special flavored kit kat is the in thing in Japan.  Trust the Japanese to come up with all sorts of flavor… from kiwi flavor to cherry and watermelon from last year.. and more.  For about $3 - you can get a sweet piece of kit kat with different flavors - enjoy.

Japanese Burger + Donut

I told yer.. trust the Japan to come up with the funkiest thing.  Recently introduced is the Mos Burger in a donut.  Hehehe!!!  wanna try some..?? well if you are like me.. and love the Mos burgers .. you would like this one too.. but i hear it is the same as a normal burger except that it has got a hole in it.  The price is the same… and for novelty sake.. i would definitely try one. .the next time.. i’m in Japan.

there you have it.. a friend sent this pic to me

Although Mosdo, the partnership between Japanese chains Mos Burger and Mister Donut, has been around since last year, they never truly married their main offerings to make a doughnut burger. Until now.

Black Methol & Japanese Women

The Japanese women are known for their smoking habits.  In Japan, the women are the ones with the highest smoking rate in any other developed countries in the world.  If you are as surprised as I am, well, you are not alone.  I was quite shocked to see a lot of my co-workers in Japan smoking every chance they get.  You don’t even want to know where they go and smoke, what a waste . .i tell myself.. whenever i see one of them doing it.. especially when they all looked so pretty.  i hope they bought some good term life insurance for we all know what cigarettes can do to people.

McDonalds Japan Goes Wireless

Trust the Japanese to come out with ideas like these.. especially for the younger customers with shopping parents.  Parents of teenage kids can now leave them for a few hours .. since there is wireless connection for the Nintendo DS.  The kids can sit and enjoy their food and game. without being disturb.

So if you are in Tokyo.. you can get wireless internet from their 21 outlets.  Plus you can browse Mcdonald’s website as well as download trial version of games here.  Hanging out in McDonalds has now taken a new meaning for the kids.

I NEEED .. A Takoyaki Maker

I need one so badly..!! if you ever tried a takoyaki before (octopus balls).. you would know you have to  eat it again.  And like right now..! i would kill to eat one . .hahah!! ok ok.. i was exaggerating.  Octopus Balls or Takoyaki are very popular not only in Japan.. but most parts of Asia.  You can find it at food bazaars or any food fest. It’s also cheap .. to buy them.. so you can imagine.. making them on your own.. can be really affordable.. once you know how.  Kids will love it… a great snack for after school..and they can even help out.. with cooking it.  Easy peasy .. at $159 .. i think it is a good investment.

Japanese Are Weird and So Are Their Drinks

Yes.. if you think the anime.. and the pachinko is weird.. in Japan.. well.. what would you think of ice cucumber .. by Pepsi..?? Pepsi has prolly gone too far this time. .to cater to the local taste in Japan. I wouldn’t drink it .. will you ..?? I wonder how it tastes though.. muahahah!!

Japanese Sweets - Wagashi

The Japanese are full of wonderful food..but their sweets are even more interesting.. not only are they good tasting.. they are good looking too. .and with loads of nutritional value. The above is called a Torayaki, the name of this japanese sweets (dessert - Wagashi).  Normally, i like the red bean fillings but this time.. i saw a Maccha (green tea) ones.. so i just had to try it. I am a big fan of maccha.. because it is said to have good for health.  But it didn’t taste as good as i expected it to be.
