Yoku Moku Cigare

Got a super, special gift from my lovely sister: Yoku Moku!

The original cigar is full of cookie goodness: the rich butter, the crispiness, the baked wheat, the wholesomeness of eggs and the vanilla.

And the matcha cigar is oh-my-goodness awesome due to the pronounced layer of floral, clean taste of matcha incorporated into the cookie itself and the smudge of cream rolled within. I love this so much!

The best alternative to milk. So rich and milky. I love this more than milk actually, especially the Avocado Almond Milk.

Hirota Ice Cream Puffs

Every now and then, I can spot some gems in NTUC, not as often as in the case of Cold Storage though. Hirota ice cream puffs are one of them.

Generous big dollop of creamy flavourful ice cream wrapped in a thin puff pastry puff, it trumps over those generic custard cream puffs whose filling is made from custard mix instead of egg and milk. The matcha one is saturated with the aroma and slight bitter taste of matcha. In fact, the matcha ice cream puff is probably one of the few supermarket matcha products that really has the strong taste of matcha. Other matcha desserts and snacks mostly bear resemblance to matcha in colour only. So not surprisingly, the boxes of matcha puffs are snapped up pretty fast when stocked up at the ice cream section of NTUC Xtra. Strawberry and vanilla ones are good also.

Since I had seen this product and brought two boxes, I had went on to buy twenty boxes to treat others. Everyone in the family loves these puffs.
