Asian Goodness!

So I went to the Asian market today...its literally called the Asian Market... its this really huge almost grocery store sized place that just opened. Its now my favorite and mother and I stop there almost every time after piano now, haha. Today I decided to buy some weird stuff if I could... and this is my bounty!

Full shot of what I got (excluding the 3 packs of dumplings and 1 thing of shumai)



Strawberry, Lychee and Mango flavored pudding! Really delicious!

White rice cakes, as it says...really gooey and really gross. Smells like alcohol, like sake :(
(country of origin: China)



Chocolate Bread...epicly delicious. I first had this in Mitsuwa and I love all the flavors except for cheese, although mother really liked that one
(country of origin: Japan)



This is Mellon Cake...its basically like mellon bread and its really yummy, this is my favorite flavor of bread. (yes in Japan they have many unusual flavors of bread)
(country of origin: China, although its more popular in Japan)



Prepared Shredded Squid...yup... I said I wanted to get some weird stuff. Okay so actually it doesn't taste too bad, but its painfully strong and fishy tasting. Also, the smell can stink up a room if you leave it open there for like 5 minutes, haha.

Taro chips...taro being a vegetable over in Asian apparently...I think this is its roots, look it up...
