68th.

This year, we could celebrate my mum's birthday together =)
(Last time was about 4 years back only).

Happy 68th birthday to my mum.

we always miss you and love you.

This year, I've selected her favourite cheesecake from Morozoff.

Animal Doughnut

I just coincidentally passed by the doughnut shop, but then that cute Mr. frog caught my eyes.


Woooo.....

I failed to resist not buying them...


Their doughnut are made from organic or natural ingredients.
Only sales cake doughnuts and those are chewy and nice =)

This was my first experience with Floresta.

Regular Cake.

This is what I must have once I returned to hometown.

Y's Tei's special Matcha mousse!!
Each of us bought one cake and share share eat together.
Enjoying the family time =)

Stone sweets.

This cake, I bought from the shop located in Hakata station.
Their cakes are all this square shape, I selected Matcha cake.

Inside the cake is layer of sponge cake, mousse, cream.

Not bad! maybe I should try again next time!! =D

La Duree

Wanted to enjoy La Duree Macaroon again!
Really love their macaroon especially raspberry macaroon =D

Just sad to know that La Duree shop in Hakata is closed in this March....
I can only buy their Macaroon only if I go to eastern than Osaka....

Autumn Miso!

My mum bought some Misdo back home.
We had coffee time and had some chit chat =)


Misdo, now their donuts feature Halloween.
Old fashioned got pumpkin taste!

Conbini Sweets

What I missed most in sweet taste, is green tea.
It is almost impossible to find nice green tea flavoured and reasonable price sweets in Singapore.

I immediately grab and buy convenience store sweets (We call it to "Conbini Sweets").
It is so tasty and so easy to buy kind of price! =D

Having enjoyment and happy feeling is so convenient!!!

Super Sweets

Once reach to my home town, we usually go to our favourite place, Supermarket.
We just buy whatever groceries we want.

Of course, food too.

I got this 2 sweets just about 200yen after quick sale discount! =P
We always aim to go to supermarket after 5 or 7pm as usually supermarket start discounting cooked food and some non-cooked food items.

See that whipped fresh cream!! see that green tea mousse jelly!!
just total of less than $4 only!!!

Why don't have in Singapore!!!!!

Macaroon from Starbucks.

Found green tea flavoured Macaroon at Starbucks.

The size is bigger than common size, yet nice green tea flavour and not too sweet and nutty taste =)

Haneda! 1!

Wow!! Wow!!!

Now La Duree's macaroons are available at Haneda Airport!!!

HI-YO-KO

Really?

Oh, It  is so great to know that Hi-Yo-Ko celebrates 100th anniversary =)

Royce'

Gift from @yu and her hubby on that day.

!!!!!

This is something !!!!!

Although I loved to go to hokkaido fair a few times a year when I was still at my hometown,

I know Royce is one of the famous chocolatier, just like rokka-tei.

But I didn't try any of their nama-chocolate yet.

It was so nice and tasty nama-choco!!!

No wonder so famous.....

Green Tea!!

We found new product when we visited to Myajima island during new year.
They look very green tea infused, yes, they are.



Not too sweet green tea flavoured Momiji manju with nice red bean paste.


Seems like this is their signature sweets. Nenrin baum.

Price is almost or more than double the common taste of those products,
but, yeah, tasty. very green tea =)

Different frm looks

There was a time this kind of sweets are very popular.
(maybe only I thought so??)







I always feel like trying Okonomiyaki-Cake...
Always feel like...only..haha

Matcha sweets.

One of my must and favourite things to do when I go back is,
To get some green tea flavoured dessert or product.


This is very tough to get in Singapore.
Green tea taste is incomparable. Totally different.


I bought a few green tea product this time round too, of course.



This bamboo shaped matcha mousse, I assume too much gelatin used.
And very little matcha flavour infused =(





This cake is called Arashiyama. Wonder if this cake shop is from Kyoto...
Their mousse is rich and have nice green tea flavour =D
I think I wanna get their green tea cake again next time!!


My next travel back is targeted in early summer or late spring.
I am sure more green tea product is launching soon as new tea season is around there...kekeke!

Afternoon tea.

My hometown is country side town.
Even in the city, there is only one world chain hotel, Sheraton.
Furthermore it opened very recently only.



This few years, Afternoon tea in Japan also comes to quite popular.
Sad to say, it's only applies to Metro police like Tokyo.



BUT!
Surprise!! There are at least 3 cafe/restaurants offer afternoon tea in my hometown!!
It's very happy and big news!!


So we visited one of it, and enjoyed it so much!! =D
Price also reasonable, 1600 yen / pax, you can choose cakes from daily selection.



See, typical 3-tier afternoon tea set!!


Of course, I immediately choose Matcha pudding =P

We loved almost everything.
Scones were so tasty and matching with clotted cream and jam. It was perfect combination.

I'm looking forward to visit other shops soon!!!
