Hokkaido goodies

CP came back to Singapore from Hokkaido with wonderful gifts. She got a delicious souvenir called Shiroi Koibito:

Shiroi Koibito - This is the famous Shiroi Koibito representative of Hokkaido, born from Ishiya Seika's excellent techniques and passion for confectionary. The soft flavored white chocolate sandwiched in fragrant "langue de chat" cookies (white type) after its first production in 1976 it has been enjoyed by many customers and was awarded by the Suisse Monde Selection in 1986. - taken from the Shiroi Koibito online shop.

In simple terms: two pieces of thin but crisp cookies with a slice of white chocolate (that is thicker than both pieces of cookies combined), sandwiched between them.

It's really delicious!! Something that should be sold in Singapore too, although I can imagine how expensive it would be if it's sold here. Talking about Japan, how can I miss out on asking her to buy makeup for me?! She managed to get me the latest items from Majolica Majorca's new Winter 'Frozen Eyes' collection!

Catching on the Japan craze, I finally got the chance to go to Yamazawa grocery store at Central, it's a store where they sell lots of Japan foodstuff like biscuits, cakes, chocolates, etc. It's not as big and grand as I imagined but it did bring quite a few pleasant surprises for me when I discovered what they sell and I bought some food goodies from there as well - Morinaga Chocolate Chip cookies (which me & CP finished on the spot), Moonlight mini butter cookies also from Morinaga and Tohato (the same brand that gives us Caramel Corn) Raisin cookies. The Morinaga cookies are very tasteful, something that I'll go back to buy. But the raisin cookies didn't turn out the way I thought it is, it's actually a little bitter and soft. Lucky I bought the small pack..haha. I still prefer the good-old Khong Guan Sultana biscuits.
