Souvenir from Tokyo

Got this very yummy souvenir from a friend who just got back from her Tokyo holiday: Macha Goma-Dare Mochi, green tea flavored mochi stuffed with sweet black sesame paste~

Chinese desserts

We bought these colorful jelly puddings at a Chinese dessert shop at Tai Wai Train Station today.

Assorted jelly puddings, from bottom to top: Osmanthus & Water Chestnut jelly pudding, Lycium Fruit & Longan jelly pudding, Green Tea & Rose jelly pudding and the white one is Coconut pudding with Yellow Split Peas.

I like the one with Lycium Fruit & Longan the most. The other three tasted too insipid. Also if the texture of the puddings was more solid, it would have more "mouthfeel" and would be easier to slice off the jellies evenly.
