Bambi has been telling me about her friend who is a very good chef.  I am so happy to finally meet her!!! And only to find out she is the sister of one of my highschool classmates, Tine Tine! 

Tricia went to the New York Restaurant School and  was a pastry chef in New York.  

We were so lucky to have tried her super duper yummy Banana Chocolate Muffin which she made for Bambi’s birthday lunch!!!

So moist and so yummy!!  I keep telling her to put up a bakeshop or to sell her goodies.  Hopefully we will see more of Tricia here at Heart2Heart!

Since there are many yummy japanese snacks, Heart2Heart will try to feature them a little at a time so you can appreciate them better

Previous Entry:  Japanese Snacks and Candies July 31, 2010 

More favorites from Japan- you can find them everywhere and they are addicting!  Comes in different flavors, and of course Heart2Heart’s favorite is the cheese ( Camembert ) flavored one- but the others are good too 

This is how the cheese one looks like 

This is our family’s favorite too…we do not even know what it is called but later on saw a translation that said KARL KORN- it comes in different flavors but this is our favorite one- the GREEN ONE!

The road trip continues to Pennsylvania which is around 3 hours from New Jersey and maybe 2 hours from New York.  Again beautiful scenery

We went to visit the factory of our favorite snacks

They had a fast food place where we had our lunch as soon as we arrived

We joined the factory tour where they showed us how they make their potato chips!!!!

Picture taking was not allowed inside the factory, so no photos.  But here is a photo of freshly made potato chips! WOW!!!!!!!!!! Really YUMMY!!!

At the end of the tour is the souvenir shop!! You can buy all the kinds of snacks and all souvenir items from Herr’s!!!

 My Mom always drags me with her to Salcedo Market ( Window Shopping at the Salcedo Market March 22, 2010) and of course she is the most beautiful one there all dressed up for the occasion with her hat and all which everyone was looking at Good thing she plays along as the mom of Heart2Heart and lets me take her photo

I don’t know if I just miss these things when I am there window shopping, but these were some things that caught my attention that trip

reminds me of my brother who likes eating these

Mom’s friend and I do not think we know his name, we know him as the Tapang Usa guy and Mom always gets something from him even when he is at the American Women’s bazaar

I forgot to take a photo of his food stuff but we bought something new from him - his chicken longganisa which mom cooked for breakfast after the market- YUMMY!!

My friend, Randy, from Something Different, now has a raisin bread!!!

Kasbah, the beautiful Morroccan restaurant beside Discovery Shores in Boracay, now at Salcedo market.  I heard it was their first day

WOW!!! Imported cherries!! Reminds me of my Mother in Law who loves these and the whole de Jesus clan as well

I hardly see this cherry! YUMMY!!

We bumped into Des who Mom also loves!

Des has her stall there with all the yummy food she cooks being a true Capampangan

This is my favorite from Des!! Chicken ala king!!! The shell is also so good!!

and Mom loves this and claims that Des makes the BEST TOCINO DEL CIELO!  You have to try it!! So authentic and so yummy!!

Other sightings…

Wow! Look at that banana turon!

Squash flower for only P 40.00 a bundle!   

And the last thing we saw and Mom bought was this live Lapu Lapu swimming in the cooler - Mom bought some and took even the cooler!

Heart2Heart goes crazy whenever in Japan! They have the widest assortment of snacks and candies!  I am so happy now, we do not have to go to Japan to enjoy them because they are now here in the Philippines!!!!!  Be assured that the Japanese have very strict controls when it comes to manufacturing which is why the prices may be higher than other Asian countries. Each product has to be tested and has to be approved.   So, not only are they YUMMY but they are SAFE YUMMY especially for kids who love to munch on these things! 

Rustan’s Makati now has the best assortment followed by Rockwell.  They will be coming in little by little and more to come next week!  So keep visiting to find out what’s new.  You should be able to find them in the Japanese or Asian Section, checkout counters or in the snack and candy sections  

HI CHEW!!!!!  Nothing is better than the original!  Be careful what GUMMY you are chewing! Hi Chew is manufactured now in the States,  China and other Asian countries, but I would still go for the Original Japanese made ones even if they are a bit more expensive!  MIAM MIAM!! 

Hi chew also has a variety pack which has three flavors already in it and the famous MILKY candy has a lollipop which is very popular!

COLA GUMMY CANDY!!!! YUM YUM!!! 

A photo from Saddlebrown in the Manila Polo Club- take note of those Calbee snacsk on top in round cylinders- those are so YUMMY!!!!! And the Chotos on the right, the brown round one - those are chocolate bread snacks! 

Heart2Heart’s favorites 

CALBEE CHEESE potato chips with actual cheese bits on the chips!!!! 

and it comes in Pizza flavor as well 

of course Heart2Heart’s favorites has to have cheese, so this one is included!
