[myself] Omiyage from Japan~!

It's one more post on the snacks given by our guests from Japan~!
(the reason I wrote it all in one go is because I'm lazy =P)

So, this time it's 白い森のハーモニー (Shiroi mori no Harmony) by Ishiya (actually, I'm not very sure it's from Ishiya because I couldn't find it in its website here )

So about the taste, I think it's quite okay.
The cookie is a bit thick but never the less, it's okay.
You know what, I couldn't remember how it taste because I just ate Shiroi Koibito, which is tastier than this... =P

[myself] Omiyage from Japan~!

Hola~! Another post on goodies some guest brought from Japan!

This time, it's a snack by Premium Excellent Chocolat~

Me, I have no idea what brand is this.
When I looked it up online, it doesn't seem to have a website =O
Only found some blog posts about it.
Someone said she bought it from a grocery shop in Japan -
http://clairparfait.blogspot.com/2010/10/souvenirs.html

How does it taste?
Before that, I want to say that I thought it's a chocolate inside the wrapper but good thing I google it first.
So I know it's a biscuit with hardly any chocolate in it.

Okay, back to the taste... it doesn't taste very good.
Meaning, it's okay but is not up to par as a Japanese snack (- 3-)
When I bite into it, it feels powdery and heavy but quite crunchy in the middle.
It's sweeter than most of the Japanese snack I got, like white chocolate.
Like this blogger here said, it's the cookie crunchy texture that keeps you biting.

[myself] Omiyage from Japan~!

This time, I’m introducing a sweet omiyage from Minamoto Kitchoan.
The name of this wagashi (Japanese confectionery) is Fukuwatashisenbei (福渡しせんべい)
It’s from a guest from Japan.

The guest is quite generous with his gift because I checked online and one packet worth at least $2 (Singapore dollar). Man, that would be around RM5 per packet.

Anyway, about the taste, yup it was delicious.
It wasn’t very sweet but still retains a mild vanilla sweetness.
The biscuit was quite crunchy and quite fulfilling as it’s quite big.
The filling, I think must be vanilla as it’s white and tasted like, well…. Vanilla =P
Like the biscuit, it’s not too sweet but still counts as a dessert.

That’s about it!

[review] The Darkest Hour

Before I start this review, let me say a few things.
Me, I think I have this Kinemortophobia - fear of zombies (I googled it).

My friends are always wondering what I am afraid of zombies.
Because they might be REAL, that's why!!
Scientist do so much of illogical experiments, something bad might come out of it, you know.
And to think some mindless, blood/flesh hungry being chasing you for one sole purpose, I'm scared. Very SCARED.

Ever since I watched a HK zombie movie which occurs in a shopping mall, the image stuck and never let go. I'm absolutely terrified of empty or almost empty shopping mall.

Now coming back to this movie, The Darkest Hour gave me the same overwhelming sense of fear when I watch it in the cinema today.

To make it worst, we can't see it.
You'll never know if it's a large monster which can grab you with its extremely long hand (it might have, well you don't know because you can't SEE it!)
Because of that, it makes the movie even scarier since anything can happen any time.

I really hate the feeling of not able to outrun your predator.

This movie head straight to climax after a few moments at the start (which makes me think what is going to happen for the rest of the movie).
After the first attack, the desolated scene reminded me dearly of 'I am Legend'.
But the difference is the alien is not afraid of the sun. It adds to the scary factor because from the start until the later half of the movie, we were never showed how to defeat the aliens as our protagonist spent all their times running and hiding.

But later they did fight back and I'm glad that they DO have weaknesses (the aliens).
Otherwise, I'll have nightmare tonight .... no, seriously.

Anyway, I give this movie a 3 out of 5 (and I won't watch it again ... EVER)

[Food] Spaghetti Farm

Me? I like eating some spaghetti so when I went to Midvalley one day, I decided to try the spaghetti at Spaghetti Farm.

I ordered Chicken Bolognese and my sister ordered Carbonara (refer menu above)

Chicken Bolo...

Man, it was totally hideous (at least for my taste). I tasted a lot of chicken bolognese from different restaurants but this is the first time I ate something like that *shivers*
It was like the bolognese sauce being watered down as soup and poured onto a separately cooked tasteless spaghetti (I mean, yeah I know spaghetti is tasteless by themselves so you don't cook it separately). The spaghetti don't even have time to absorb whatever essence from the soup sauce. It was like, "One Chicken Bolo!" and the cook dump a lump of spaghetti onto the bowl and poured the soup and 'Wala', done! Man, it tasted like Chinese bitter medicine. I try to make it edible by shaking lots of black pepper on it but it did little to mask the taste.
(My sister even ask me to speak lesser because my mouth smell T^T)

FAILED

Carbonara...

At least my sister's one didn't taste so bad. She only say the taste is very watery and the bacon looked/taste very raw =P
(I should have ordered that instead of the stupid Bolo ... T^T My mouth taste horrible for the whole day)

FAILED

0 SAVED, 2 FAILED.
VERDICT: FAILED.
We will not visit this shop ever again.
(And I had to apologize to my sister for ruining her lunch ==)

Yum~! This one is normal Love letter(?) / cookie with macha filing.
