| | Hurrah for discovering new and wonderful foods in Asian countries!
Today I was buying a few apples at my local fruit store and I saw some girls buying some of the bulk snack foods that they have available at this particular place. I've always looked at them and thought: "I should really try some of these" but I never have.
Until today.
They have these small (maybe as long as your thumb) oval-shaped cookie/cracker things. They're swirled and look like mini cinnamon rolls almost and I have always wondered if they actually taste like them too. Honestly I figured that they probably didn't and they were probably fish flavored or something (like the bag of snacks the school gave us for Christmas my 1st year here that were wrapped like chocolate so we all took a huge bite and then realized it was actually fish jerky...UGH!). I wish I could post a picture of these things on here but since I have to post via proxy it won't let me load images on here. Darn.
Okay, anyway, so I asked these girls if they thought those things were really good and they said yes and told me they were sweet. So I paid for my apples and stood there debating if I wanted to try them or not. The guy who owns the store looks at me, laughs and hands me one of these things to try. THEY ARE SO GOOD. AND they ARE like mini cinnamon rolls...actually they're more like that Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal you Americans can buy in the grocery stores. I was immediately hooked. I got 4RMB worth of these things, which was enough to fill one of those small terribly flimsy plastic bags. I took them down to Hylan so he could try some (turns out he had tasted them his first year in China but didn't know where to buy them around here...so I filled him in on the location of this fruit store which is located conveniently near to our apartment...5 min walk). Between Hylan and I the bag is completely gone. Haha! I will have to sparingly purchase these things. I don't need to get any fatter.
Anyway, as I said before, Hurray for new food discoveries! |
