This is the sweetest peach I have ever tastes! It’s out-of-this-world good! So good that I go back to buy a second pack after 3 days despite the high price tag. And the previously full shelf left only three packs of these peaches. A testimony on how good these taste.

Just a random peek at the gummy candies section in Don Don Donki, and I found the yummiest gummies with one of a kind texture here!
Comes in floral sweet flavours, such as Lychee, Grapes, Peach and Apple, the taste is on the point and the texture is out of this world. The gummies have this super bouncy juicy texture core, wrapped with a slightly tougher, but easy to bite skin. This contrast in texture between the core and skin makes for such unique good bite.
I brought two packets at first to try and ended up liking it so much that I brought all flavours and extra for my family!

I love the paper-thin biscuit-like texture at the bottom of the crystal-like burnt sugar. It is what makes me like this creme brulee so much. The custard is like creamy ice-cream, going perfectly with the crystal burnt sugar top.

This is so delicious! Yes, another star buy from Don Don Donki. Made with Hokkaido Milk and Melon, this pudding is creamy and full of the musky sweetness of melon. I'm getting more of this for my family.

An unexpected buy from Don Don Donki, Rich Milk Tea Almond surprises me by how good and addictive it is.
I was just looking around at the snack section with no intention to buy the snacks when I saw rows of Rick Milk Tea Almond packets hanging off the supermarket hooks. I didn't think too much about it at first, but somehow the picture of the cross section of this snack caught my attention. Yes, I guess my science-inclined brain totally digs it. So the description of crispy exterior coated with milk tea powder got my interest and I got a pack.
The crunchy texture of the almond juxtaposes so well with the crispy coating. The nutty aroma of almond is perfect match with the creamy milk tea. I can't stop munching on this.

In a bid to find citrus based ice-cream, I stumbled upon Häagen-Dazs Yuzu Macaron Ice-cream ala Pierre Herme’s special! I love the smooth texture of the ice-cream, juxtaposeing so well with the chewy, crunchy macaron bits generously added into the ice-cream.
It is so good that I get a second tub plus the Berries version.

I found the best Apple Pie at Isetan Sakura Matsuri Fair!
It’s FEAL Earl Grey Apple Pie! And it has won award at 100 Best Cuisine Kingdom. While the crust is excellent, being buttery and flaky, the magic lies in its filling. It is packed with the goodness of apple, custard and earl grey. The light tang of Apple juxtaposes so well with the creaminess of custard. And the soothing, floral aroma of earl grey adds a layer of irresistible complexity to the taste. Definitely a must-try here.

Soft, chewy and bursting with floral citrusy sweetness of Japanese mandarin orsnges, I love this so much. Going to buy more!
And this mochi is so good that I buy the other flavours too!
Clockwise from left corner:
Almond Jelly - Mildest of the lot. Nice and balmy. For those who like almond jelly.
Mikan - one of my favourites.
Melon - full of sweet musky aroma of melon
Lemon - another one of my favourites. It is zesty and have little bits of lemon peel for the extra bite.
Peach - mellow and lovely.
Walnut - it is special and it is very good, with a bit of savoury taste for the excitement. The crunchy walnut bits in the soft, pillowy mochi is very welcomed.
Avoid Strawberry one, which is of course not in the photo. It tastes too artificial.

The sweetest and best tomatoes: OSMIC Tomatoes! These are so unbelievably sweet that I feel I'm savouring the sweet fruits laced with the distinctive tang of tomatoes. Definitely worth buying if available in Don Don Donki. These are snapped up first. I brought three boxes on Saturday, and all sold out by Thursday when I went back to buy more. I'm keeping an eye for this whenever I go to Don Don Donki!

Got a super, special gift from my lovely sister: Yoku Moku!
Dairy-free ice-cream that gives its dairy counterparts a run for their money! Yes, Cool Haus ice-cream is so good that I keep buying them whenever the current tub is emptied out by my family and me. Who could have guessed that such a gem can be found in a dingy little Giant supermarket near the kampong?
The chewy and starchy black sugar boba is obviously the star here. I love its texture that contrast with the smooth, creamy ice-cream. The rich caramel flavour of black sugar make me swoon in delight.
