Picola by Nabisco is another Japanese snack that is widely available. The popular flavours like chocolate, vanilla and strawberry are the common ones around, so again, it’s another unique flavour that caught our attention. This time round, it’s lemon flavoured cream wafer sticks!
With every conservation now contaminated with Melamine, everyone’s paranoid about China-made products. I’m sorry for the parents and families of the babies affected by this man-made disaster. It does brings back unpleasant memories of the mad cow disease, the bird flu saga which made everybody avoided poultry consumption.
Another very familiar biscuit that you will surely see before in your childhood days. Collon is virtually present at all leading supermarkets, so you must be wondering, why did i even bother to do a write-up on this? The typical collon is in the standard, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavours. But this one here caught my partner’s attention as there’s a cheesecake picture on the box. Picture does tells a thousand words after all!
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!
After meeting you once,
I could never forget the encounter.
We had so many tries, that I overlook your existance.
Still, I believe, we should remain separately.
For I have since found my new love, the lovely in pink.
You remember when you were a kid, you told your mother “Ma, ma, i dreamt of a pig which was black in colour!”, and your mother chided you for telling ties, since pig is always pinkish in colour, and you shouldn’t spot the colour wrong since pigs in fairy tales and cartoons are always pink. Well, it won’t be a problem next time when you visit Tampopo and tell your mother that the pig there is really black!
