Haul: Traffic Hassles and Asian Market

Sometimes traffic is such a nightmare your just better off getting off the road.  Recently, I had just that situation and I decided to make the best of it by checking out an Asian Market that had been recommended to me.  Here's a video of the haul that resulted:

Until next time, Ciao!

Haul: Seafood City

This has been a great, foodie week for me.  I got to do not one, but two hauls!  Unfortunately, I've had some technical difficulties with the first haul and now it may never get posted.  Fortunately, the second haul went just fine and it's all ready to share with you!

Please let me know if there are ethnic stores you'd like me to check out.  I'd love to hear about your experiences to, so please do comment below!

Ciao!

Tasting: Japanese Snack Pack

I have made no secret of the fact that I have been absolutely inspired by the YouTube Channel "EmmymadeinJapan" - and I submit as evidence, Article One Recipe Review: Gyoza.  This post and companion video must then be submitted as Article Two, I suppose.

Not long after viewing Emmy's Gyoza video, I watched Emmy Eats a Japanese Snack Pack.  Emmy has since made a least one additional Japanese Snack Pack Video.  This video really made me curious and excited to try some Japanese snacks and one day when I was placing an order for some cookie cutters I decided to throw in one of these packs to try for myself.

Here is the particular pack I purchased:





The fact that almost all of the labeling is in Japanese characters and that what little I could read in English was still unrecognizable to me added to the fun and adventure in trying these products out.  I was so excited when it all arrived!

There were 6 snacks inside...



This Big Katsu bar was the first snack I tried.  I realize now, that I should have made the connection to Chicken Katsu - apparently Katsu refers to the breading.



This next snack had a really interesting texture - now that I think about it post video, I guess I would describe it as being a sugary toast-like snack.  It definitely had a flavor and texture of lightly toasted bread...



My favorites in the whole pack were these rice crackers...



and these tube shaped, cheesy snacks...



I won't list all each individual snack here, you can watch the video to learn more about it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.  Have you ever tried a snack pack?  What do you like to snack on?  Do you know what any of these are and where I can get more of my favorites?  Also, please do let me know if you like these types of posts and videos by leaving a comment, liking the video and subscribing or following the Channel or this Blog.

Thanks and Ciao!
