Oden at Aeon Jusco

Seeing people ate oden makes me curious to try some. I went to Aeon Jusco today and bought some to try out. They have a RM5 promo where you buy 4 pieces of the fish ball and fish cake combo, another piece will be given for free. Yayy!

The soup tasted a bit sourish and l can smell lemon grass. Basically like a tom yum soup base. The fish cake is nice and soft with cheese in the middle (what a nice suprise). 

The fish ball is soft and bouncy. Easy to bite. 

The extra piece I got was crab stick wrapped in tofu skin and there is a sliver of seaweed in the midlle of it. The tofu skin is a bit tough but the crab stick is okay. 

Overall, i guess the taste is mild, maybe a score of 3 out of 5. I will have more to comment when i try out more odens from other shops. 

Ice Cream

The hot summer weather makes you long for something soothing and cooling. The bestest treat would be ice cream. 

I ate the Walls Asian Delight Coconut bar.  The ice cream is actually creamy and not overly sweet. There are bits of coconut flesh in the ice cream so you get bits of it in every bite. The taste is quite refreshing.

Also from the same series is the mango ice cream. The creamy mango is refreshing with bits of mango flesh in every bite. Like the coconut ice cream, thia one is not too sweet. 

The iconic snack..... Pocky

This iconic snack is a must when school is over and while waiting for the school bus to pick me up. Back then the name was Rocky and sometime in 2014 the name was changed to Pocky, to adapt the globalisation. 

Each box is 40g and consists of biscuit sticks coated with dips. I got chocolate, almond, double choc, cookies & cream and cendol to try out. 

1. The chocolate flavour tastes of chocolate (hehehe). However the chocolate ia a bit sweet. Will taste great with tea, green tea or other less sweet drinks to balance out the sweetness. I always have a packet of this to snack in my car in case I got stuck in a traffic jam. 

2. The cookies & cream taste very mild. The colour of the biscuit stick is also a bit darker than the chocate flavoured. The taste is also not too sweet. I can smell the cream and there bits and pieces of biscuit all over the stick. This is not my favourite Pocky cause I love chocolate more 😁. 

3. The almond one smells almondy and buttery. There are bits and pieces of almond all over the coating. It is not too sweet and the balances well with the biscuit stick. I liked it. However, if you have nuts allergy, please give this a pass. 

4. The cendol is an exclusive edition for Malaysia. Cendol is an iced  sweet dessert consisting of ice shaving, coconut milk, condensed milk, palm sugar syrup and green rice flour jelly. Hot weather makes it so delicious to eat, accompanied by a plate rojak eaten under a tree beside the road 😁. 

This cendol pocky is an amazing find. The whiff of gula melaka and pandan smell greets me when i opened the packet. The green coating represents the green flour jelly in the cendol. It tastes like a combination of palm sugar and coconut milk. As amazing as it is, I still love the real cendol. 

5. The double choc Pocky is a chocolate biscuit stick coated with a chocolate dip. The taste is good because the bland and a tiny bit bitter taste of the biscuit balances the sweet chocolate coating. One of my favourite Pocky 💖. 

So, there you have it. Try out a Pocky today.
