Durian flavor

Made in Taiwan

Contain 6 pieces, 1 pieces = 35g

Contain: Palm oil, soybean oil

After opening the outer packaging, greeted by bright orange plastic.

Through the little window, the mochi can be seen. Very orange compared to the picture on the front.

Cut open the plastic and a whiff pungent durian smell puffed out. The smell went as fast as it came.

The picture is truly deceiving.

Mochi lack the powder on the outside on some. Probably due to rubbing off against the plastic wrap. Which is understandable.

Still, the mochi color isn't white.

Give it a bite. A clean cut bite. Fun to chew.

The mochi has a mild sweetness, which gets overshadowed by the filling. As one keep chewing, the durian paste filling spread. As for the texture, it is a cross of dessert jelly and the sweet jelly babies.

The durian flavor is strong and accurate. Definitely not for durian hater. Texture similar to red bean paste. Also, the color isn't as yellow in tone like the picture.

Kakilang- Souffle Pancake

Been wanting to try this since forever. 🤤 And there's no better day than a sunny Pancake Tuesday to try it. (Sunny days feel rare in wintry Ireland.) Souffle Pancake Kakilang, Dublin Price- 8euro Wait time- 40mins (if lucky, maybe 20mins) Option: ✅Cheesy foam+ berries Maple syrup + fruit/bacon/butter Cookie + cream (Pancake Tuesday special) Look at its beauty. So cute 🥰 I couldn't wait to dig in until the point of forgetting to check if it jiggle 😂. After cutting it, it still jiggle slightly. I probably destabilise its ability to jiggle. The taste? Just three words. Soft, delicate, & sweet. Though it look thick in size, it's so soft like a sponge cake. Actually, softer and lighter than sponge cake. Even the sweetness is similar to sponge cake, a gentle sweetness. With the foamy cheese and fruit, it highlights and adds to the delicate sweetness. I wish I could have this as breakfast everyday. Sadly, it's too time consuming ...

Umai - Tonkotsu Darkness Ramen & Tempura Seafood Roll

A new restaurant opened near where I worked. Umai, a Japanese Cuisine 😍 I tried it on two different occasions. They got seven options for ramen. A colleague recommended Tonkotsu ramen. So I got Tonkotsu Darkness, which only differ by the addition of black garlic oil. Price: 13.95 euro Wait time: under 10 mins Looks delicious 😋 First taste, the soup. Oh my, so creamy and salty. There's a sweet nutty aftertaste. Then the noodle. So soft, my teeth cut it like butter. The noodle doesn't grasp on some of the soup flavor. The soy bamboo, beansprouts, and scallions add to the flavor and texture. The thing that looks like fried onions weren't noticeable in each bite. From the first impression, there aren't a lot of pork chashu. Actually, there were several. From what I remember at least six pieces with varying thickness. The Pak choi amount seem pitiful when compared to it, just three. Overall, it's a comfort food. Not something I would crave when compared to my love ...

Sprezzatura - Arancini & Pappardelle Beef Cheek

Price: 12.50 euro (lunch deal+with soft drink) Arancini arrived quickly. This tapas had been tempting me since I saw it on Instagram. Oh, what a comfort food. It's a rice with nearly undetectable cheese center. The crust ❤️ perfection. The sauce was goes hand-in-hand with it. The salt adds a wow feeling. It fit in between the tangy tomato sauce and the gentle cheese. Just as I polished off the Arancini, my pasta timely arrived with its cheese on the side. What excellent service they have here. I can smell the beefiness. And look at the portion of it. I can forget about dessert. The first bite, pasta was al dente. First time I had pasta this al dente. Definitely a new world for me since all the pasta I made or bought were never like this. Now I understood what they meant by al dente. The beef cheek remind me of stew beef my mum make. The beef natural flavour is the highlight. There were two bits that were gelatinous. Love it. I wouldn't mind asking for more of those bi...
