More Kit Kat! - Sakura Matcha

Whoa whoa whoa! 

Don't die CRNomz! That's what I think leaving for too long means so more posts more posts!

OK! Getting back to my Kit Kat haul from Japan, here's some Sakura Matcha or Cherry Blossom Green Tea. 





For those of you that have not tasted sakura before, it has a unique taste and the matcha gives it a nice sweetness which makes it one of my top 5 Kit Kats. Plus the packaging is so cute especially when you visit Japan in spring. 

Ahem to those of you that have tried more than ONE sakura dessert and still like it...I must say...I'm so confused!! Let me tell you guys that the first time I tried a sakura dessert was a sakura mochi and I was super duper excited because you see these things in anime all the time! Little to my disappointment that it tasted HORRENDOUS! Not even terrible... horrendous... I was scared from that day on but when in Japan, just try everything! The next desserts I tried were Sakura Chiffon Cake & Sakura Latte from Starbucks which were super yummy! Probably because of the sugar but it made me enjoy the strong sakura taste. 

Well, if you want to get a sense of what sakura tastes like, get someone to get you some sakura matcha kit kat or just hop on a plane and try it yourself! Do note that it's best to go during sakura season which is from mid-March till end of April if I'm not wrong. 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

Amaou Ichigo Kit Kat

Hey foodies!

So, I have a small update for you guys and kinda disappointing...sorry for bumming you guys out before the post itself...

Amaou Ichigo Kit Kat - sounds exotic but it actually means Amaou Strawberry Kit Kat...






The reason I bought such a big box because I thought it was a unique flavour to Japan when in fact they export it out to a lot of countries including Malaysia. It was not until I walked into the Japanese snack section at Aeon that I realised that they were the same flavour. *Bangs head on table*

Yup, you can get this Kit Kat almost anywhere in Malaysia and guess what? It's cheaper too! I bought this box for 2800 which is approximately RM74 which is ridiculous even on Japan standards...I know...*continues to bang head on table*

That's it for this post! 
Cheers!

Rum & Raisin Kit Kat

Hello Kit Kat junkies! 

Here I am hitting you with another kit kat flavour and this is one of my favourites!! 

RUM & RAISIN!!! 

I love everything rum & raisin from ice cream to cookies and of course chocolate! I immediately bought two boxes the moment I saw it although I haven't tried it before. =P 




It's a white chocolate kit kat but don't be fooled because the moment you tear open the wrapping, the sweet smell of rum & raisin comes bursting out! The aroma is so good that I could smell it all day! 

It's a little sweeter compared to other kit kats but I think the white chocolate had something to do with it. My verdict? TWO THUMBS UP BABY!! 

The box sells for ¥800 (approx. RM24) and it holds 12 kit kats. I found this at the Aqua City souvenir shop on the 3rd floor. 

That's it for this post! 
Cheers!

Beni-Imo/Red Potato Kit Kat

Hi Kit Kat Junkies! 

If you've read my Kit Kat Haul post then you'd know that I have a lot of Kit Kat to review! Today's post is on Beni-Imo (紅いも) Kit Kat or loosely translated as Red Potato Kit Kat. 

Found this particular flavour at Aqua City Mall, Odaiba. There is a souvenir shop on the first floor which sells it. It is a bit more expensive compared to the other shops but that's probably because there are more sticks included. Priced at ¥2800 (~RM84) per box. 






It actually tastes like a sweeter kit kat-ish sweet potato. It's pretty good on the first stick but gets a tad bit sweet after a while. Good for a try. 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!
