There were 2 earthquakes in Indonesia today, and it was felt in Singapore by many. Mum and I were trying to figure out if we felt it.. and finally realised that we were having lunch at that time, and were too busy gobbling down our food to even notice/feel/realise the earthquake tremors! Many others in the area felt it though, as we later saw on TV. So weird.
Anyway, my cousin’s Japanese friend came back from her short stint back to Japan and bought everyone some cool Japanese goodies. The mochi was adorable! It came in the cutest little pink paper packet, which you unwrap and pull a little wooden toothpick out then pour the mini sachet of sweet caramel on top of the mochi and peanuts. Mum loved it, but I’m not a huge mochi fan in the first place. It was still nice though!
But my favourite was the biscuits – apparently a famous/popular brand in Japan. The spectacular thing about Japanese biscuits is that they are ALWAYS brilliant – they come i individually wrapped and taste better and more delicate that biscuits from other countries. These were sooooo good!!
She also bought us some Kyushu Ramen, as she’s from that area and swears it’s the best ramen 😛 The ramen is fresh so you just need to pop it into a pot of boiling water and cook it for a few minutes and that’s it! I had it for dinner with some fresh crabsticks, corn kernels and krispie-bits. Mmmmmm :)~ Too bad it isn’t available in Australia
oh mmmm! they all look so good! and now im determined to track down some of that ramen!
Apparently you can only buy it there, or in really specialised Asian grocery stores! I want to find it too:P

I love Yoku Moku biscuits. I usuallt keep the entire box to myself 🙂
I can’t believe so many people here have had them, and I never even knew they existed until now! Ahhhh
Yoku Moku makes the best biscuits in the world IMO. My Japanese friend always lug some to Singapore for me whenever she visits.
If only I’d discovered them earlier! I wonder if they have more varieties.. we only had about 4-5 in the box
They do and you have got the assortment box. I love the one that looks like love letters. YUMMY!
I have a thing for their beautiful tin boxes too.
yummy mochi…now i feeling hungry again.. time for tea breaks!
I don’t really like mochi but I could stomach this, it was way too cute!

agree with the nail comments – such a cute color!
My parents thought it was “a bit dark”, haha! But it’s trendy now and I like the color 😛
This reminds me, I think I want to paint my nails again. What polish are you wearing? I love my Chanel Black Satin! Hope you’re doing well 🙂
I am SO lazy when it comes to nails, haha! I was eyeing Chanel’s “dior pink” and “dior beige” today, have you tried it? Is the “black satin” super black or more like mine in the pic above? Ahhh decisions decisions 😛
Oh and my polish is a free one I got from Chi Chi!
mmm…yoku moku biscuit/cookies…..soooo incredibly tasty. i miss them!! i used to work for a japanese company here in the US and we had visitors all the time from Japan and they used to bring us goodies…Like these! Hmmm….I need to see if I can find them in the US.
They’re so good, wish I’d discovered them earlier. It must’ve been so cool to work for a Jap company!
It was VERY cool. If it hadn’t been about the almighty $$ I probably would have stayed. these visitors would bring us anything and EVERYTHING to munch on. even alcohol filled candies… the only thing i didn’t like was anything with red beans, you know, that was SUPPOSED to be a dessert. blech.
I am glad that you guys are safe and I need to tell my sister when she goes back to Japan to pick some up for me!
Yeah no one was injured/killed in SG as far as I know, but many were in Indonesia 🙁
Those Yoku Moku biscuits are to die for. I used to buy it every time I’m in Japan.
I like how buttery they are! My other fave is Royce chocolates, mmmm

Hi Beverly – what nailpolish are you wearing? It’s soooo pretty!
Oh it’s a free one I got from a brand called Chi Chi or something like that! A real dark burgundy color 🙂
I totally agree about the Jap biscuits.. so nice! But there are so few pc of them in a box that I always feel like a big sinner for polishing the biscuits off..
As for the tremors, I didn’t feel anything too and I was in office. & even tho I was darn near the sea too.
Jap goodies are the BEST in the world imho! They always look the best and taste the best, mmmmmmmmmmm
