"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 is pretty dry, I recommend you to have it with a cup of Genmai tea.

Sweet and lightly salty, I like!

If you can't wait for Amazon delivery, you should be able to find a similar product called Wang Wang snowy rice cracker in nearby Asian super market. Yukinoyado is original snowy rice cracker but it is not widely available in the states.

"Awa Soda" Soda Bubble Candy

This candy is similar to Smarties but melts faster with flavor of ラムネ " Ramune " (taste like Sprite) with strange bubbles "Awa" in your mouth (a lot of bubbles!).  Bubbly bubble! If you are either Ramune fan or bubbles fan (imagine bath bubbles melts in your mouth) or both, this is for you! This candy is very unique in its flavor and texture for people outside Japan (I hope it was obvious from my description above). However, I totally forgot about its uniqueness for a moment. Then, I came to realization when my daughter put the candy into her mouth for 2 seconds and then spit out immediately with yikes face.  Yikes! Anyway, since my hubby doesn't eat any candies and my daughter rejected the candy, I decided to keep it all to myself at work. I like "Ramune", candy and bubbles so this is a candy of my dream. Very bubbly! Awa Awa Awawa! If you are up for this sensational bubbly experience in your mouth, check out these items now. Today...

"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!
