"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...

New hobby just because it's spring!

I have decided it's time for me to have fun this year rather than spending 40+ hours wasting my time emailing / spreadsheeting at work. Yeah - fun. Basically, I hate my job (actually, I hate corporate job period) and the only motivation I have at work is to get together with colleagues to complain about the company and upper management team and immediate co-workers (hmm, isn't that everything). I decided to bring my rant to Internet space. That's boring as is so I decided to make this a little bit sweeter. I love sweets (French pastries, Asian snacks and on and on). I make simple desserts (I'm not a good cook so it can fail miserably and my family has no choice but to eat). I buy random Asian snacks and feed to myself and my kids. I eat dessert after every meal (even though I'm not French). So.... My goal is to alternate my rant and sweet here to entertain my readers (if there's any - ha). Come and join my sucky sweet life!

Homemade Croissant

My kids love croissant. French croissant is very buttery and flaky. I love them too. However, the good ones will cost me several bucks per croissant if I buy it from a French bakery in the U.S. Last year, I decided to make them myself. I tried many recipes. This one is not as complicated and it tastes good. Warning - it is tasty but it doesn't taste like the ones from the bakery.
