5 thing to get in an asian market.

So you're coming inside to an oriental market and see all the bright lanterns and colors right at your face. There's bunch of asian families that have a month supply of food in their carts and you're thinking to yourself, 'WHAT AM I DOING HERE?!'. Again, this is MY opinion, but you should definitely go try these products if you happen to 'just be there'. :)


  1. Rose Green Tea: God, this is the reason why I started drinking tea when I was little. It might be a bold choice for people who just drink the 'normal' stuff, but it might actually be good for people who like their tea with a mild flavor. It does have an exotic sort of taste, but it definitely gives you relaxation and also boosts your health. It's hard for me to describe it since I've been drinking it for so long, but I would also say that it's more sweeter rather than bitter. :) Again, if you think about it, it's just green tea with flowers. WHO DOESN'T LIKE FLOWERS?! 2. Mini Croissants/pastries in general: Man oh man, the little delicates of heaven bring me joy in my life. What I like about the croissants is that they're not buttered, because what do I usually add to my croissants?! Butter. I just think that Kroger, Randalls, and Target have defeated the purpose of me putting butter in my pastries when they have 'buttered' it already (if that made any sense). Plus, they're not manufactured and such. You could watch the bakers seriously cook your bread right in front of you, and you'll recieve it fresh and warm. & knowing the fact that they have made it especially for you makes me absolutely love their bakery even more. :)

    3. Butterfly Cookies: Hfiaoh;gnoa9ug04j4&(63yq9n! I LOVE BUTTERFLY COOKIES! This is all very nostalgic to me, but these cookies have brought a good impact to my life in my childhood years. I will warn you, it's sorta plain tasting. It's pretty much dough with light sugar sprinkled on top. I usually crunch it and add it to my ice cream, brownies, or put fruit on top with whipped cream. They are usually really big, but I bought the mini ones instead. You can say it brought the creative side of me as a kiddo.

    4. Snow Pea Crisps: This is a newly founded love of mine. I would sometimes eat a package during school in the mornings, and people would stare at me all weird and say," So......you're eating a vegetable......that's in chip-form?" Haha, yes. Yes I am. & the best thing is, they don't even taste like a vegetable. My friends would try one and described it as eating plain cereal. They eventually accepted my love for these chips and all is well and good. My mom says it's REALLY good when you add it in salads instead of croutons. I never personally tried it because I'm not really a salad-eater, but I imagine that it's realllllly good.

    5. Kawaii Cookies: So I bought the helly kitty strawberry flavored ones in this pic, but you can totally get the plain ones as well. The cookies are adorable! It's probably a little smaller than a size of a dime, which makes it more fun to eat. It's very powdery and it easily melts into your mouth. It's been a quiet obssession of mine for a while, and again.....it's just so adorable! :)


Just keep these food products in mind when you're grocery shopping in Viet-Cong/ Hong Kong Food Market. :) Let me know what you think!
