How I SURVIVED the Heat? 2018

Japanese Ice Cream December 28, 2018 1

If you think this post is waaaaay overdue, you’re right. The thing is I love me some ice cream so I just don’t know when to stop! But anyways, the 2018 summer heat was nasty! Don’t ever come to Japan during the season if you don’t like the heat. I won’t be saying a lot in this post but yeah I’ll leave a short comment when it’s necessary. Yay!

If you’re someone who doesn’t like melons, stay away with this one. I just bought this to see if they taste anything like melon and it does! I don’t actually like melons that much. I mean, I do, sometimes. Not my favorite though.

Mango Delight was good!! I actually don’t like fruit flavored drinks because it doesn’t usually taste like the actual fruit so imagine my surprise.

So good!

Ordinary.

Delicious though.

The mango one is okay. The Japanese doesn’t joke around with their mango flavored stuff. I heard that they have successfully planted a mango tree and they sell for 100,000 each. Silly. Oh the Japanese!

The Strawberry one is strawberry-ish.

I also noticed that milk flavored ice cream is a big thing this year. Might actually been a thing of the past too but I just noticed recently.

Before it was ice cream, this thing is actually a strawberry dip. Not so good.

Good!! I like rhis one!

Not remarkable.

I like the snack version but ice cream, not so much.

Actually on second thought, I don’t like the snack version all that much.

Classic

Kind of good.

Sucker for textures!

Milk. Also not so good.

Not good

For some reason, this gave a very bitter taste.

This one is delish!

Salty Butter Caramel is so delicious!

Vanilla. Basic.

Not so good.

Also not so good.

Delicious! So delicious!

Me likey.

Basic. Kind of good.

Favorite! Also cheap! Delicious.

Also delicious.

Can’t remember. But ChocoMint is actually my favorite ice cream flavor but you know, some are really not so acceptable. This one I didn’t hate.

I like the choco coat! Soo crunchy.

This made me miss Harajuku. For real. I miss Harajuku. Will go back soon!

Good

Sooo rich

Basic

The Buko Salad Ice Cream that they sell in my neighborhood in the Philippines for 12-15php is much better!

Choco

Basic

Expensive but actually basic.

Kind of okay

I think

Very delicious!! See, this one I don’t think I would like but I loved this.

Not so good!

Actually not good.

Not good

Anyways, that’s how I survived the heat!

How I Survived the Heat

Matcha Japan October 07, 2016 0

Summer is now officially over. And it wasn't very easy considering how all the people at work and some others complain that it's the different kind of hot.

Wide Variety of Selection

More!

I've always been a fan of Matcha flavored anything. I remember a time in my life when it's even my ONLY Starbucks drink. I kind of switch drinks now depending.

I liked its waffle. Didn't taste the matcha as much as vanilla.

Interesting ice cream! I swear when I first saw this years ago, I was like, how could I? But then it's one of those ice creams that melts rather easily so with a few push, and uncessful zips, you'll be good.

Not really a fan of complicated tasting ice creams. This one I'm not a fan of. Not because it's complicated-tasting but because of the fake banana flavor. Man, I hate banana flavored anything. Except perhaps the flavor of the real banana.

Interesting

But it's too sweet even for my liking. It has red bean paste underneath and I feel like I only like red beans when it's in my Halo-Halo. Sometimes Tepanyaki too but not my first choice. Not over custard, no.

Colorful bliss

I liked this one. I'm not a fan of sprinkles so I thought I wouldn't like but it has a very mild flavor. Thumbs up.

This reminds me of that Buko Salad Ice Cream my mom used to buy from the neighborhood. Very close. But you know, for 108 yen, we can probably buy 3-4 of those. Rule number 1, don't convert.

semi-soft serve ice cream

chocolate coated vanilla ice cream

This one is chocolate coated vanilla ice cream with an orange touch. I'm not a fan or orange chocolate in general so I'm confused as to why I even bothered trying this one. It was okay though.

The only thing I remember is that this is the only ice cream tita May likes. Other than that, delicious but insignificant.

Ice cream sandwich

Choco Pie ice cream

A fan of Choco Pie because of GD. If you can't understand that reference, it's okay! ;) Fan girl mode ON.

Lemon Milk flavored ice

I actually thought this would taste like sherbet but this tasted more like milk to me and not much of lemon. Also can we just look at my dry finger for a moment?

Green Tea Fondue

Delicious! Again, not a favourite but delicious!

Cheese Stick

This though! I enjoyed this one. It's not as cheesy as I expected it to be but thinking about it, it'll be weird to bite through what seems like a very cold block of cheese, right? So yeah, just right!

Probably not as enthuastic as I should be but you know, this helped me survive SUMMER 2016 so yeah. Ciao
