What makes Japanese snacks and biscuit so good, that actually can cause people to go gaga over them? The imprint of Japanese words on the packaging is enough to charge a premium over the normal snacks. The rise of many shops selling Japanese-related products are a phenomenon, yet it isn’t something that just come about and poof!
My partner and i went to Meidi-ya, the Japanese supermarket at the basement of Liang court. She recommended the Choice biscuit by the reputable Morinaga. I was sceptical about how good it can be, since i don’t like munching on just butter biscuit without any cream or fillings in between.
My impression of butter biscuits is dry, distasteful, and hard. But boy i was proved wrong and need to take back my words. Choice biscuit was very fragant, with strong butter taste, and there was no hint of dryness at all. It reminded me of the Languly cookies which i had, the delicate and tantalising biscuit which was so good! My Choice of biscuit!

Japanese snacks part 2!
haha this biscuit is very ‘pang1′! =) i recently discovered another butter cookie that is yummy too, but with a slightly more eggy taste. its called ‘moonlight’ cookies. go try!
elieli — November 2nd, 2008 at 11:33 pmYes I agree! Moonlight biscuits are amazing! Light and buttery..super yummy! The Choco chip cookies (silver box I think) also rocks. Oishii brand also has great Japanese snacks - their choc or caramel popcorn is better than cinema popcorn, Oheya is a great slightly healthier alternative to chips and..haha just to clarify im not a supermarket auntie promoter, just have a strong passion for jap snacks!
