drops and pocky

「「things i should have posted earlier」」

had more japanese snacks during my absence~ got 'em while wandering around isetan, klcc~ isetan was having some food fair with all sorts of weird and famous/infamous snacks... meiji chocolotes were abundant and i got the dark chocolate bar but it's still in the fridge untouched


shiki sakuma drops - since 1908


interesting seal...


assorted flavour drops...

what really caught my attention was the shiki sakuma drops 「式サクマドロップス」.. a nostalgic treat, for many reasons~ tears almost rolled from my eyes when i saw it on sale - how sad, poor setsuko-chan~ (´□｀。) back to the product, it's actually sweets of various flavours, mostly fruits like orange, lime, berries and etc... one exception though, there is chocolate flavour too~

verdict: rich in taste and very sweet... didn't really liked the chocolate one, tasted like some milo rip off~ will notice straight away if it's being swapped with stones~


pocky original


some nutritional facts - doubt there's any though


an opened pack of pocky, there's 2 in a pack

next off, also got myself some 'pocky' 「ポッキー」... never tried these originals before~ in malaysia, it's marketed as rocky instead... guess no introduction is required, should already have know that it's the famous chocolate coated biscuits sticks,

verdict: expensive but addictive! not sure if it's just some psychological thing, but it tasted much better compared to the rocky ones...

will be blogging on the meiji dark choc once it gets into my tummy, hehe...
