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.

Pocky Quest - 5th Flavor

Well as I mentioned yesterday I bought some Pocky from Marukai Market. I look forward to trying them this month. I actually showed some restraint by not devouring them yesterday but today they may not have much mercy.

Actually, I do plan to try one a day. Today's flavor is Pocky Chocolate Dessert so here are our current standings:

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

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)

Korean BBQ Project

Well in my quest to make some Korean BBQ I did purchase this table top Electric Grill at Marukai Market. I'm excited to try it out. I've been searching the internet for various recipes. I still plan on going to Korean BBQ restaurants from time to time but I just think it will be fun to also do something at home - and economical. I'm also going to try to make some Panchan but I'm not crazy I'm buying the Kimchi. Never had Soju before but may get one bottle just to try. It would most likely be a flavored one though since when we went to Manna I kept wanting to try their flavored Soju's but didn't. I'll let you know how it all turns out. I have the camera ready
