It's basically the only thing I've tried posted in this thread. It's plain as fuck.

wasabe peas are amazing

I've had them, not a fan personally. My wife likes them though.

Wait til you hit a really spicy one. It really tears you up.

:biggrin: Oh believe me, I know. I adore sushi and eat it practically once a week so I've had a good dose of wasabi.

The thing is, you expect it while eating sushi. Mental block I guess.

Nothing prepares you for that time you get a nice clump of it by accident though.

That's why I don't use soy sauce nor wasabi when I eat sushi

I don't eat sashimi though so not a big loss.


Ebi Nigiri however, comes with wasabi. At least if you go to authentic Japanese places. Amount depeds on chef :biggrin:

Nice knowing you Chrono. :'(

Hong Kong secret: if a product is manufactured in China and anywhere else but China, always look for the "made in" and make sure it isn't China.

My brother lives in Japan and whenever he visits brings some candy with him. Some of it is good but some of it sucks.

I just had McDonald's and it was awful! Why do American restaurants taste like such ass???

you are totally, unintentionally, right. most restaurants suck, and people have no idea what good food is. if they complain, just tell them they're holding it wrong.

edit:
choco party

Yeah, they're nothing special. Just pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate. I do love how the Japanese have a "men's" Pocky, because I guess men love dark chocolate.

pocky

men's pocky <3

Onegai Teacher (and Onegai Twins I think... can't remember if it was feature there) cemented Pocky in my mind, had to try it for the first time a couple years ago.

My thoughts: Strawberry pocky is pretty good, regular chocolate is okay. Pirouettes are better than chocolate pocky, though.

 

[uhohs]

Yes Yes Yes Pocky girls~

God I loved these growing up

Pocky not bad ~ i love strawberry Flavour

I lived off this stuff growing up...

chocopie is SO overrated. i don't know why koreans love it so much.

looks like a moon pie

 

[KlokWyze]

Korean pastries are definitely hit or miss.

Candies.... some are good and some are bad. Just like any other country.

My trip to Asia will come up in a few months. I will get some of these goodies.

Group Buy, anyone?
