As soon as I found out that there was a Big Island Candies store at Ala Moana Shopping Center I went small-kine berserk (thanks for the scoop, Shar). I couldn't believe that I could just go to the mall right up the street from my working place and buy me some of my favorite pineapple manju. I talked about it previously here.
I dropped by yesterday morning before going to work. I bought all the manju that they had on display. For gifts. But I do hope that I'll have some left for me. Maybe I should go back and buy some more. It's good to have extra . . . right? For gifts.
Just so happened I ran into Sweetie. She said, "Did you see the new mochi store?" Once again, I went small-kine berserk.
In the store, I felt like I was back in Japan.
The girl there said that they have their products flown in from Japan daily.
I bought this daifuku mochi. It was $3.
The girl put my one mochi into this bag. So Japanese, yah!
39 grams of carbs!! More than a cup of vanilla ice cream! Whoa! But, boy was it good.

Jalna,
Help! I know I was looking at your blog the other day at an old post about a good chocolate chip cookie recipe. But now I can't find it. Could you possibly let me know where to look?
