Flower and Milk Make Good Candies

Flowers and milk are both delicious flavours for candies.

Who knew?

Well obviously the Japanese and most of Asia knows about this "secret".

Last Friday, I went with a friend to a two dollar store. Yes, a high-end dollar store that sells Japanese things that's weird, random and delightful.

In the store they have a section that sells candies, so I decided to pick up two kinds of candies that I haven't had since my childhood. First is the flower candy, that can only be described as uniquely feminine in flavour... if there can be a feminine vs. masculine candy out there, this candy would be the feminine candy.

The second candy, is this milky delicious candy, that is not quite like vanilla ice cream, and not quite like a latte. Yes, not very helpful, but I give it all all thumbs up.

Needless to say, there are only a few candies left lying around by today.  I'm really worried that I haven't got dental insurance, but not worried enough to stop eating them though. So do I have to say again that I really recommend you try them? Maybe. Maybe not. But really, you have to try them!

I forgot how much Asian candies are better in so many ways then the North American candies that I normally love and consume. They are so innovative and strange in flavour. They are also very delicious too even though they sound like a weird idea at first.

To finish off this post, I will leave you with a picture that's worth a thousand visits to the dentists.

It is in the International Village (that is the mall beside T&T at Chinatown station).

The two dollar store is on the first floor.
