Calbee Soft Shell Crab...

"Soft Shell Crab flavoured potato chips" to be exact.

I expected it to be fishy, but totally surprised by the lack of it. Instead, it's very sweet. So sweet, it overwrites the taste of potato. Feels heavily seasoned with MSG. Not bad at all, but not outstanding enough for a second bag.

Milka White Chocolate

Thanks Andrew for this one. Yes Milka is a famous brand and their product is excellent. But... but... white chocolate isn't my cup of tea. (However, I'm eating it anyway. By the time this posting is published, the whole bar will be long gone.) In general, white chocolate is all cocoa butter and contains only the fat from cocoa beans. I'm sorry to say, it has none of the beneficial properties of chocolate. Too sweet and milky, this is no exception. However, I'll have to say, white Milka is nicer than, say, white Kitkat (of course).

Baby Star chicken mini

Thanks Kazuyo for this one. You probably won't believe me if I say I've never tried this. My impression of this has been... worse than chips. I expected this to be deep fried, greasy, and gives me a sore throat afterward.

How wrong I've been! This doesn't only taste good, it has no unhealthy feeling like chips! And, finally something salty! Yay~!

Crunky: strawberry

"Condensed milk strawberry Crunky" to be precise. Thanks Kazuyo again! (^_^) After a good experience with the plain Crunky, this strawberry variety is bit harsh. It's too sweet and too milky. Ah right, "condensed milk", of course. I used to like condensed milk as a kid, but somehow changed when I grew up. This chocolate is just too heavy for my liking.

Happy Mother's Day!

Bought mini fruit tarts and dinned out as usual. Nothing special. I offered a trip to Richmond but she wanted to work on the garden instead. Oh well.

Finally, the day has come. I was asked to drive my "Mrs. Always Right" aunt home. It's a bit of a hassle, plus I don't really like her. (Bad me.) Maybe she sensed it, and asked her usual church friend to drive her instead.

Yup, this is what bugs me. She already has a ride set up, but came to me because she doesn't want her church friend to make a special trip before going to work. Seem OK to her if she ask me for the same thing before I go to work? Nice logic, eh? Just because I'm a relative? The reason why she's kind of bossy in my household is because she took care of my mom before she got married. So my mom owes her lots. But hey, I'm not part of the deal.

Italian

Pastry for lunch, pasta for dinner. Too bad the restaurant wasn't that good. But at least we know now.

Classic cars

Dropped by Michael's in North Van after work. Dollar Giant had raised their price from a dollar to $1.25. (T_T) There was some kind of classic cars fan gathering in the parking lot. Plenty of interesting-looking cars with hoods opened. There was even one that looked like model T! Others were rounded, or huge (30's 50's etc). Didn't seem like there was a theme, though. Wish I had more courage to take pictures. (This one was taken from within my car.)

Turns out I have nine 40% off Michale's coupons for next week (from trying to use up coupons this week). Don't think I can use them all.
