Japanese Premium Cookies by Arome Bakery Room

While other bloggers are busy unboxing their beauty subscription boxes, I'm here unboxing a big box of cookies! :D

Japanese Premium Cookies by Arome Bakery Room

My sister bought this from Hong Kong, and now I'm wondering why all yummy food are in Hong Kong.

Ingredients:

And now, for the big reveal!

A paper cover serves as a guide to which flavors of cookies are inside the box.

Dark Rye and Walnut Cookie

Dark Rye and Walnut Cookie and Cashew Cookie resemble to good ol' butter cookies we have here, only with a smoother texture.

Okinawa Brown Sugar Cookie

If you're a fan of Okinawa milk tea, I bet you're reach for the Okinawa Brown Sugar Cookie as soon as you open the box (which my sister did). This one had a slightly roasted aroma and wasn't too sweet.

Green Tea Cookie

My favorite is green tea by default, since I'm biased to everything that's green tea-flavored. Haha!

Cashew Cookie

Charcoal and Coconut Cookie

The Charcoal and Coconut Cookie has real charcoal powder in it! OMG, I just ate some charcoal. :D The coconut bits added texture to the cookie.

All the variants have that soft and delicate (almost chewy) texture, and each flavor is distinct. And, it comes with a pretty classy box - perfect to give as a gift.

Which flavor sparks your curiosity the most? :)

Love,

Helen

Haul: From Hong Kong, With Love

I'll be sharing with you once more my love for sweets! Most of these are pasalubong from my sister who went to Hong Kong for a vacation.

Kit Kat Matcha Green Tea Flavor

This one reminded me of the boxed Kit Kats that my friend got from Japan, only this one was packaged in plastic. It's way cheaper, too! Each pack of mini 12s costs just about approximately Php 160.00! It's country of origin is Japan, but it's sold at a more expensive price in Japan, and cheaper in Hong Kong. @_@ So yeah, don't buy from Greenhills because you know the real price now. Haha! :D

Meiji Rich Matcha

Give me anything Matcha and I'll happily receive it! I love almost all types of Meiji chocolates. Seriously, Meiji can do no wrong. This one we don't have here in the Philippines, and I think it's a must-try.

Cadbury Dairy Milk Bubbly in Mint

And not only do I love anything Matcha, I love anything Mint as well. This makes you think that I love everything right? Haha. But no! :D We also don't have this variant of Cadbury locally, and how I wish we did.

Frutips Fruit Pastilles

Everytime a family member or friend of mine goes to Hong Kong, they almost always bring home Frutips candy! I am not such a fan of those super sweet and cheap jelly candies in the supermarket, but I love Frutips. Each piece is just so juicy, and you can distinctly taste the flavors of each color/variant. This one also comes in a blackcurrant-only tube (which must be a best-selling flavor) and a GIANT tube, wherein the shape of the candy corresponds to the fruit flavor (like a lemon wedge shape for a lemon flavored piece).

You may have noticed that everything pictured above is green! It's not my favorite color, but all my office stuff (like water tumbler, notebook, folder, ID lace, etc.) are green, and even the chocolates and candies I received are green! Some of my colleagues don't believe me (at first) when I say that my favorite color is pink. Haha :D

維他命水果軟糖

This big tube of candy from Taiwan was from my boss. She gave each member of our team this one since it was her birthday. My colleague says that it tastes like Frutips, but I have yet to try it. Too many candies! :D

Arome Bakery Room Japanese Premium Cookies

My sister got this box of Arome Bakery Room Japanese Premium Cookies for my parents, but as of the moment, we are eating it with our parents. Haha. I will do an unboxing post soon. :D

Keychains

Last but not least are these touristy keychains from my former colleague who went to Canada, and the other 2 are also from my sister.

That's all for now for my foodie/trinket haul. I can't believe I had so much to say about candies. Haha!

Love,

Helen
