Japanese snacks in Malaysia (Part 1)

Hello, guysss !!

Not being able to go to Japan, I frequently visit stores like Daiso or Shojikiya in Malaysia. However, yesterday I went to Aeon Big in SS15, Subang Jaya, previously known as Carrefour, and I found that the imported area sells a lot of Japanese snacks that can't be found in Daiso or Shojikiya. One good example is Pumpkin Kit Kat. Originally, I thought of buying it since I always wanted to try one after one of the youtuber, +Rachel & Jun, tried it. However, I did not as it was very expensive. For your information, it is RM 18.90 and the package size is the same as the one that can be found in Rachel & Jun's video. There are also the Green Tea and the Strawberry flavours too. 

So, these are what I bought.

Bourbon - Buranchuru  
Doubutsu Yochi


Doubutsu Yochi (RM 10.90)

They are "animal-shaped biscuits topped with natural colouring cream", is what it says on the packet. (I'm not sure if it is the exact translation, but with a little of Chinese and Japanese language, I think it is... Kindly tell me if I'm wrong)

The only animal that I can recognise, others are blurry
Doubutsu Yochi

The taste is almost similar to Malaysia's Gem Biscuit as Doubutsu Yochi's topping is also icing sugar. The biscuit is softer than Gem Biscuit though (or is it because Doubutsu Yochi's surface area is bigger? o.O)


Bourbon - Buranchuru (RM 11.90)



These come in packets of 12. It is delicious but quite sweet. The biscuit is crispy, not as in potato chips crispy, but softer kind of crispy... To give you a better idea,  the taste is quite similar to 白い恋人 (shiroi koibito) but maybe a cheaper version? hahaha....


So, these are some of the Japanese snacks that I can find in Aeon Big. If I buy more Japanese snacks in the future, I will post it again. Bye ~

Quitting ICAEW (Not official)

Image
It's finally a holiday!! There has been a paused to my blogpost as I was really busy attending classes, studying and taking exams. However, those are not relating to ICAEW. I believed that I have told you of my changing of plan long before I went to volunteer in Japan. Chance arrived shortly after I came back from Japan and I immediately grab hold of the chance to fulfill my childhood dream of being a cabin crew! And now I'm residing in another country to fulfill this dream of mine. So, what about the course that I took? To update you that read my posts because of info on ICAEW, I truly am sorry for quitting halfway (though not officially, as I am still paying for ICAEW's annual student fee and have not sent in any documents to stop all my study altogether), and I have no plan to continue it, not at this moment.  I was hesitating to continue after completing my professional level papers last year March (which surprisingly I managed to get through all of them in

Internship Experience in Ryokan (旅館 - Japanese-styled Hotel)

Image
'いらっしゃいませ' (Irasshaimase!)、'ありがとうございます' (Arigatou gozaimasu!) Very common terms but the most polite terms. These 2 terms accompanied me during my whole internship period.  If you do not know, I internship-ed in Japan for 2 months in the service industry. To know how I came across this internship opportunity, click here .  The ryokans, aka Japanese-styled hotel, that I worked in were Takimotokan Yukinosato (滝元館遊季の里) and Umi no Hana (海の花). They are luxury ryokans strategically located closed to tourist attractions, which provide great hospitality and ultimate relaxation to the guests. Both are ryokans with private and public onsen.  Since the main topic today is my internship experience, I'm not going deep into information of both the ryokans today. I will be writing more information on both the ryokans and the surrounding attractions in another post, or if you can't wait for it, please visit their website! 1. Appearance The first thing I

Internship Experience in Ryoutei (料亭)

Image
Ryoutei is a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant, which served kaiseki style meals for business and formal meetings (source from Wikipedia). Everyone that goes to a Ryoutei has a purpose. It is not just a simple filling the stomach meal. It can be a business meeting, a celebration, a family meeting, a book sharing session, a reunion, a party or any occasion you can think of, which is why the customers going there are usually dressed formally. Having said that, anyone are welcomed to visit a ryoutei to enjoy the exquisite, delicate meal prepared by a qualified chef and served by the beautiful omotenashi-san (something like waitress?). However, do remember to make a reservation in advance as meals are prepared freshly according to the number of customers. The ryoutei I worked in is called Shikiryotei Sukeroku (粋料亭　助六) currently managed by Okami - Chikage Nakamura and her husband, Hideyuki Nakamura, who is also the head chef of Sukeroku. During my whole internship experie
