"Caplico" Chocolate Snack

Caplico mini is one of our family's favorite sweet snacks. It's basically "ice-cream on cone" shaped chocolate snack (dry). "Ice-cream" part is made of fluffy textured chocolate. It comes with 3 different flavors - strawberry, vanilla, cacao. "Cone" part is wafer. Inside the "cone", it's stuffed with again, fluffy cacao flavored chocolate.

Yes to strawberry flavor Caplico!

Caplico actually comes with "regular size". In my opinion, you easily get tired with one flavor with regular size. On the other, "mini" version is just a perfect size for you to try out another stick with different flavor. Additionally, I noticed that "cone" (wafer part) is also somewhat crunchier with mini than the regular size.

Regular size Caplico

Hence, when you purchase one, please make sure you select "mini" Caplico! I selected one for you so check it out.

"Yukimi-daifuku" Mochi Ice Cream

The weather in Bay Area has been weird for the last couple weeks. One weekend, you thought Spring finally arrived but then the temperature immediately dropped to 50s (10 Celsius) the following week (in the morning). This weekend was the same again. It has been chilly for the last two days but this Saturday, it suddenly hit 80s (26 Celsius) during the day. My kids and I were not dressed properly for the temperature when we went to a park and we had to escape back to home in less than one hour! Anyway, although I don't eat ice cream often, when it gets hot, I won't say no to ice cream. I am very particular about my ice cream. I like Haagen-Dazs (strawberry flavor, rum raisin flavor, vanilla flavor, almond chocolate ice cream bar) and Tillamook (only discovered this recently and only tried strawberry flavor). I also stop by gourmet ice cream shop once a while. However, my absolute favorite ever since I was a kid is mochi ice cream - " Yukimi-daifuku ". It direc...

"Yukinoyado" Sweet Rice Cracker

Bonjour! It has been a week since I last updated my blog. My life keeps being "sucky" with annoying corporate job. It is even worse when I get sick - ouch! Today, I finally regained a little bit energy to write about my favorite rice cracker - "Yukinoyado" 雪の宿 . "Yukinoyado" translates to snow lodge. Rice cracker is light weight, crunchy Asian cracker made of rice. You can absolutely taste rice in these snacks. It is also very very crunchy so it makes a very loud sound when you bite into it. There are variety of flavors available for rice cracker such as sweet soy sauce flavor, salt flavor, seaweed flavor. My absolute favorite since kid is "Yukinoyado". There's milky sugar candy (resemble snow fall) coated on top of lightly salted rice cracker. When you put it into your mouth, you taste strong sweetness with salty flavor. After you start munching on the cracker part, you taste mix of saltiness and sweetness evenly. Since rice cracker i...
