Limited Edition Snack Spotlight :: Rapsberry Kitkat

This is the BEST specialty Kit Kat that I have ever eaten. Hands down. No brainer. If I could have a bucket full of these I would shove them into my mouth faster than you could say the word berry.

What flavour is it? Well, it's raspberry flavour. Now, raspberries are my favourite berry. If there is a raspberry flavour I will be picking it. For example, one of my favourite special drinks at Starbucks is a half sweet white mocha latte with 1-2 pumps of raspberry. Put raspberry in anything.

Well, this Kit Kat is raspberry flavour and they got all the things I love about that beautiful berry. It was a little sweet but more than that...it was tart. It had a nice sweet tartness to the chocolate wihch is what I love about raspberries. They have a beautiful balance of sweet and sour.

The bar ended up a little melted in the summer heat but after a little rest in the fridge it was delicious. I couldn't even eat it in my normal way. (I like to nibble the edges of the chocolate off and then eat the wafer). This bar...I just had to eat it.

Like all other mini Kit Kats, a single bar has 64 calories.

Ramen Reviews :: Maru-Chan Shoyu Ramen

Another look at some Maru-Chan ramen. This time the Shoyu (soy sauce) flavour. I enjoy shoyu ramen because it's got a less oily texture in comparison to tonkatsu ramen. This was no exception to that rule. It was definitely less oily than the previous ramens. It had a nice soy flavour to it. The noodles were thicker and I enjoyed their firm texture. They had a nice chewiness to them. I dolled up my bowl of ramen with a hardboiled egg, boy choi, carrots and bean sprouts. I split the noodles and broth in half to make two meals from it as I typically do. One package is a bit lower in calories than the previous ones. A package is 340 calories, 66g of carbohydrates, 4g of fat, 10g of protein and 2,300 mg of sodium. Instant ramen is always going to be high in sodium which is why it's important to be mindful and not eat it frequently. Also to dress it up with as many veggies and good things as you can!!

Adult Corner :: Asahi Orange Lime Chu-hi

Asahi does quite a few varieties of high alcohol chu-hi drinks. It's always hard to tell which ones are new or not though because they seem to do mostly citrus combinations. On top of that, Japan has a plethora of citrus fruits outside of the ones I'm familiar with. Bushukan, bunkan, haruka, etc. There's so many it can be dizzying. This one was orange and lime. A combination I hadn't ever considered before. I've done lemon and lime but never orange and lime. It was really good. There was a strong orange flavour at the beginning. The hint of lime came at the back end of it and left a pleasant tingle on your tongue. It was overall pretty sweet. One 355 mL can contains: 193 calories.

Adult Corner :: Kirin Strong Low Malt Beer

I prefer my beers on the lighter and more crisp side. Japanese beers suit me so well. It's like a match made in heaven. I don't like hoppy beers so IPAs and I aren't friends. I won't turn my nose up at one, I'll drink it, but I definitely like the fresh and clean taste of Japanese beers. Though sometimes I want something with a bit more oomph in the taste department. Kirin has me covered there too with their Strong, Low Malt beer. This beer has a stronger and deeper flavour but not as deep as your typical dark beer. It's not a dark beer at all really, it's a low malt beer. My kind of beer. The best thing about this beer is that it's 7% instead of the typical 4-5% alcohol content that beer normally sports. It's something I can drink slower and enjoy instead of the quick gulps that a normal beer accommodates. 100 mL is 51 cal, 2.4g carbohydrates, 0.5g of protein and 0g of fat. Overall it was delicious and I really enjoyed it. This is my sec...
