Hokkaido Fair @ Isetan Orchard

Many samples for you to try! It feels like I am back in Dan Shui (Taipei) where samples are given out and you can eat until you are filled... lol!
I love nuts, all sort of nuts... healthy(raw) nuts as well as unhealthy(processed) ones! But unhealthy one eat less often larh. The Pinkish nuts on the right is Sakura nuts... It is quite nice and it tastes like sugar coated peanut... I guessed its named Sakura probably due to that pink hue ba... or is there something called sakura taste?
Black Soy Beans are very very high in protein, very low in fats and low in carbs!

And they got many types of scallops. The original taste one is still the best. There are some variants such as grilled with cheese etc, but it is so pricey la...


Anchovies and Furikake to go along with your rice... I seldom eat rice unless its sushi... so i dun need them. =)
"Korokke" or Croquette is a popular french food that was introduced to Japan, and ever since then, many creative and interesting croquettes has been made by the Japanese. It was so popular in Japan that a song was made about it.

“korokke is an everyday dish, we eat korokke today and tomorrow. are we gonna eat korokke all year around?”.

I wanted to buy the Shrimp with Cream Korokke, I just want to get one, but the lady say they already packed in two of the same kind... but why eat the same thing twice??? I dun like this idea, so i never get to try it, but it certainly looks good. There are also fried meat filling and many types la..i cant rmb!

Last year I had the Dango! It is nicer than the ones in Ajiteh. This year there are many choices to choose from, and there are also mochi...


Hokkaido Curry Bun... Pretty Ex for a bun filled with curry... normally Sun Moulin sells for $1 +... Bread talk one got egg some more!


My favourite! Manju in the making... Manju is sort of like a pancake with filling, but ain't exactly a pancake also lar... taste different leh... The manju here made on the spot is somuch nicer than those I had from Hongkong previously...


Available in 2 different fillings - Red Bean and Cream

and these are my eatsss... other than the samplesss... :)

The curry bun is nice, but i don't think it is worth of the price tag it carries. The curry flavor is pretty aromatic, yet there's a fruity sweetness to it, the exterior is thin and crisp, while the interior is soft...not bad!


The Manjus are my favourite! I prefer the cream over the red bean ones... The red bean ones will be better is only they are chunkier.


Sushi! These are not from the Hokkaido Fair, but from Isentan itself... The sushis from Isetan is more expensive (almost double the price) as compared to those takeaway outlets in supermarket... but their sushi is better, hmm... maybe better than sakae sushi? We all know sakae sucks.


and not forgetting...desserts made by my dearest


I love Rumballs, esp those from Hans. I love peanut butter, esp Adams. So my dearest combines the two into Peanut Butter Rum Ball! Oh gosh... it melts in your mouth... The interior is crispy and has peanut butter, coated with chocolate and sprinkled with either chocolate rice, cinnamon powder or peanut brittles.

I just had one first thing I woke up, then went for a 5k run! hehe
