We Love Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve

By | Sapporo | No Comments

If there is one thing you can’t bring home and just eat it while in Hokkaido – it is the soft serve!  So whenever I saw one, I had to have it! 🙂    I like the plain milk flavor because that is where you can taste the true flavour of the milkWe Love Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve (5) Niskrew sharing their soft serve finds too 🙂  We Love Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve (4) Almost everyone has their version including Royce 🙂 We Love Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve (3) Even the hubby loves Soft serve 🙂  but he likes green tea!We Love Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve (2)He says he is buying for me We Love Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve (9)hmmmm……. haha!!!
We Love Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve (8)These snack monsters love soft serve too!!  Kai who does all the research told me about this – Cremia which is the ultimate and the richest soft serve ever!!Non stop eating of soft serve even at Haneda airport!! We were at gate 47 and there was only one food stall. A MUST!!!! Cremia soft serve! Cremia is a new kind of soft-serve ice cream dessert that has become extremely popular here in Japan. The creators of this ice cream were aiming for a new high-end soft serve ice cream that would surprise the world.

While normal soft serve ice cream consists of somewhere up to 8% of milk fat, cremia consists of 12.5% of carefully chosen Hokkaido milk. Cremia is also made from 25% of heavy (whipped) cream giving this ice cream a creamy texture and strong milk flavour.
The major difference between normal soft serve ice cream and Cremia is the cone. While normal ice cream cones are the wafer cones that you can find at any ice cream shop, the Cremia’s cones are actually made from langue de chats.
This cafe located in Shibuya, Tokyo and is the head shop of cremia in Tokyo. Silkrema ( http://jpninfo.com/16412 )

Kate Spade New York Spring 2016

By | SSI Group Inc | No Comments

It’s the “first blush of spring” that influenced the kate spade new york Spring 2016 collection, as the brand brings to life springtime in New York City, when a simple shortcut through the flower district or a stop in front of a local bodega with bursts of roses and daisies excites a notion of escape. This season, Kate Spade New York debuts a fresh face with famed British model Jourdan Dunn, the star of the brand’s vibrant new campaign, which features fashion and accessories from the core kate spade new york collection, as well as the recently launched Broome Street label and the luxe Madison Avenue label.

The Spring 2016 campaign, shot by Emma Summerton, features an eclectic cast of modern icons – including supermodel and philanthropist Jourdan Dunn; fashion muse Iris Apfel; actress, model and photographer Syrie Moscowitz; fashion illustrator Robert W. Richards; artist, actress and model Anh Duong; author Karley Sciortino; and musician and composer Jon Batiste – celebrating the unique personalities of New York and a nod towards the colorful and vibrant kate spade new york Spring 2016 collection.

Kate Spade New York Spring 2016

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Jourdan Dunn, as she joins our team of interesting personalities this season,” shared Deborah Lloyd, President and Chief Creative Officer of kate spade new york. “Similar to our customer, Jourdan is a woman who wears many hats, as a model, mother, philanthropist and chef. She perfectly embodies the spirit of the ‘kate spade new york girl,’ and we’re excited to share this spirit through our Spring 2016 campaign and collection.”

In the Philippines, Kate Spade New York is located at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Greenbelt 5, Newport Mall, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Cebu, Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Shangri-La.
