Pocky and Pretz (Part 1)

I think I cannot stop once I started eating it. I love trying different flavors and I have tried nearly all the flavors available. Everytime I go to Asia, I search for limited flavors and buy them ALLL.

For the ones who does not know such products, they are biscuit sticks. Pocky is biscuit sticks that is covered with chocolate while Pretz is savory biscuit sticks. They come in A LOT of different flavors. They make new flavors and eliminate flavors all the time.

As for Pretz, I don't they Canada offers too many flavors. The most popular ones are:

Roasted

Salad

Tomato(one of my favorites)

Maple Syrup in JUMBO size (I've never tried this because I am not a big fan of maple syrup)
The Picture below shows my 2 favorite flavors, however, they discontinue them 2-3 years ago. They are peas and Shrimp with salt. The texture is SUPER crispy. I really wish that they can remake them.
Other flavors that I've tried include:
Corn

BeerTakoyaki

Melon Bunetc...(there are too many that I tried and I cannot find all the pictures for it)

Ice cream Crave!!!

Well I LOVE JUNK FOOD. I eat junk more than regular meal ( I know it is not good but I cannot help it!)

one of my favorite junk food is ICE CREAM. For some reasons, I crave for it almost every other day or almost every night.

#1 favorite is OREO ice cream bar

I don't really know why but I like this since I was in high school. I prefer this over the bucket ice cream because I actually get to eat the oreo biscuit..

#2 is Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Haagen-Dazs

Ben & Jerry's

I think I do have a thing for strawberry cheesecake.. but I guarantee that these 2 are the best of the best! hehee =) However, not a lot of places sell Ben & Jerry's Strawberry cheesecake flavor. I think I've seen it at Safeway before.

#4 Mochi Ice cream balls

Mikawaya Ice cream Mochi - you can get it at majority of the Chinese supermarket, however, they do not offer all the flavors. I've seen Mango, Green Tea and Red bean. and I like Mango and Red Bean the most =)


Lotte Yukimi Daifuku Mochi Ice Cream - it comes in 3 flavors, chocolate, green tea and Vanilla. In this case, green tea is my favorite.

#4 - Any Taro Ice cream / Popsicle - as long as it is not too icy/slushy then its good!!! I cannot find the pictures for the one that I usually have.. maybe I will snap a picture next time and add it in later!

#5 - RED BEAN ice cream. I had the best red bean ice cream in Taiwan earlier this year. I crave for it everyday when I was in Taiwan. I had 2 big bowls of eat prior to hot pot. Because that was an all you can eat dinner, I can eat as much ice cream as I want. So I decided to eat more ice cream than the meal itself. Again, I cannot find the picture of it but if you go to Asia, you can basically try any brands
