Kani get it!

As an onigiri fan, trying out the new Creamy Kani onigiri from 7-11 was on top of my to-do list.

Looks like 7-11 is really upping its food game.

My verdict: I'm missing the crunch of the seaweed, and the rice is a bit hard, unlike the usual Japanese onigiri. Flavour-wise, though, this is good. The kani and cheese balance each other out in terms of the taste and texture.

Next time, I'll buy seaweeds separately and wrap it myself. That's going to take this from a 7 to a 9!

Meals with Mark: Join the Cue

Of course, a trip to Korea won't be complete without authentic Korean Barbecue.

Mark and I decided to eat at this Samgyupsal restaurant near the hotel. It was very local, to the point that it had no English menu and we had to rely on pictures. 

And yes, everything we ordered was great! 

We're in the land of Korean Barbecue, after all.

Tones in Tokyo

With Toni's talents, it's easy to see that she'll go far in whatever endeavour she puts her mind and energy into.

Even in her newest venture - Sweet Tones!

Yup, she's finally venturing into a food business! It's a natural progression considering that she graduated from a culinary course and even went to the US for her internship.

And her first product - her version of the viral Dubai chocolate - is so good!

It's so good that it's now in Tokyo!

See! It's already gone that far.

Instant Indian

Our neighborhood supermarket - Daily Supermarket - might not be a big chain, but you can spot some unusually good finds on their racks.

Just like this:

Poppadoms!

As an Indian food Stan, this is such a thrill. I’ve tried this and the flavor is really close to the traditional Poppadoms that you can get in Indian restos.

Gotta buy more and share with my fellow Indian food foodies.

B-Red

Because I'm a fan of all things color red, I couldn't help but buy this bread from a neighborhood bakery.

It's "bread pudding", also known as "stale bread mashed together with some condensed milk."

Surprisingly, it's good!
