Kit Kat Craze!

Leave a comment

Not a restaurant post today! Just sharing some crazy Kit Kat flavours with you thanks to K who brought them back from Japan 🙂 I don’t even remember all the flavours, but some were Green Tea, Cinnamon, Honeydew Blueberry, Apple, and Cookies and Cream. Some of them were exclusive to Japan I believe. Green Tea is my all time favourite, and you can get them in Vancouver as well at places such as Candyland. Honeydew was also surprisingly pretty good. A bite in, and you were literally filled with honeydew madness. The flavour was so strong! Another flavour that really struck me was the Cinnamon flavour. It was…spicy. Not too good!

Calipops!

I was feeling thirsty at Steveston after the donuts, and walked by Timothy’s, but wasn’t exactly craving ice cream. I ended up trying a Calipop instead since it reminded me of something similar I had back in the day. It’s pretty smooth and strong in strawberry flavour, but wasn’t as icy as I had hoped it to be. It was more like a smooth, creamy texture rather than icy. Not bad as an alternative to ice cream, but didn’t really work as a thirst quencher!

Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bar

Got these Cranberry Bliss Bars from Starbucks during the holidays, but never ate them til now. I’ve had their Cranberry Scones in store before, but never tried these bars. I got the ones that came in a box with  6 bars, and they’re supposed to be kept in the fridge. Surprisingly, they still taste really fresh, and are actually quite soft. They are basically a blondie cake base topped with sweet cream cheese icing. I love the white chocolate pieces in the dough and the cranberries and hint of ginger bring a great flavour to it.

Godiva Chocolates

More holiday gifts! Godiva is one of my favourite chocolate stores! These are the Limited Edition Chocolates with Seasonal Pieces! Not bad, but I wish they included some of the cream chocolates! I love those! If you also haven’t had one of their Godiva Shakes before, you better try one! They are so delicious!

Butter Baked Goods

Holidays are over so I guess I’m a little late posting these… but I got this little treat as part of my Christmas gift from my amazing friend! It’s a Chocolate Gingerbread S’more from Butter Baked Goods. I never heard of this place before, but my friend said she bought them at Whole Foods. I did a little research and found that they actually have a store on Dunbar! Definitely want to check this place out now. They have baked goods ranging from cookies to cupcakes to muffins to gourmet marshmallows! This one was great for Christmas as the outer cookie had a hint of gingerbread taste to it so it was quite festive. The marshmallow part was also really good! It was just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely want to check out their other goods now!

Can’t believe it’s already Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone! So I was very lucky to be able to go to Bubble Queen after the shop closed to make my own bubble tea! Really exciting since I haven’t actually made real bubble tea other than homemade slushes with overcooked pearls…  First off we made some Chocolate Mochi Bubble Waffles. It was interesting to see how they actually put the mochi in! Seemed like you needed good timing. Next, I made a white Lindor chocolate with white Kit Kat slush topped with some green tea and taro mochi balls, a white Lindor chocolate, and a Bueno chocolate piece. Must say it was very delicious! Did not know they actually put so much chocolate into the slush, but surprisingly it doesn’t taste overly sweet. Probably tons of calories though! Everyone’s creative drinks all tasted really good! Definitely a must try if you haven’t gone to bubble queen before! They have the most creative drinks with a variety of chocolates to choose from, but if you like to stay on the safe side, they also have original drinks!

Christmas Baking!

Christmas is in just a few days! Always lots of fun to bake some Christmas goodies with friends! Both the gingerbread men and cupcakes are vegan friendly except for the icing, since we couldn’t find vegan icing at that store. Delicious and fun to decorate!
