So much for willpower ...Kit Kat

Curiosity led me to go ahead and try the other "new" flavor of KitKat I had - Cookies & Milk. It reminded me of Cookies & Cream Ice Cream

KitKat Flavors:
1. Caramel
2. Cookies & Milk.

both flavors bought at Marukai Market in Little Tokyo

Pocky Quest

I won't lie I was thinking what flavor to today since yesterday. I really liked the dessert chocolate from yesterday. It was pretty rich tasting. So I've picked the one I will be trying today which means I'm 6 flavors into my quest. Does anyone know how many flavors or variations of pocky there is?

1. Tahitian Vanilla
2. Strawberry (w/ flavor crystals)
3. Strawberry
4. Coconut
5. Dessert - Chocolate
6. Chocolate Crush (Almond)

Most of my pocky purchases were bought at Marukai Market in Little Tokyo (California). I seem to have a weakness for Japanese snacks. They tend to give me the right amount of sweetness without being overly sweet. I'm contemplating a Kit Kat quest too since I found out that they too have different flavors.

New Years Day - A day of Good Food

One thing I keep saying about Little Tokyo, I always eat something great when I go there. I think we sampled almost everything. Here's what I can recall

2 other Breads that were gone so fast I can't think of their name (just looked at my Marukai receipt the 3 breads were a) Pan Tokachi Cream, b) Kashi Pan, c) Pan Twist Melon)

I'm full

Had such a good time today. There was so much good stuff to eat. I'm just to full to blog about it now. I did get to pick up a few more varieties of Pocky for my Pocky Quest. - yum.

Little Tokyo has to be one of my favorite food destinations

Happy New Years!

Happy 2008 everyone. About to head down to Little Tokyo for their New Year's event. I look forward to eating the food and watching the entertainment. I definitely want some Yakisoba and some Mochi and I love the sound of the Taiko drums. Last Year was our first year attending and we had a great time. January is going to be a busy time for our family and I actually look forward to being fully present in every event, activity that I go to.




Let this year be the year we make a difference.
