The Land of the Rising Sun…and stuff

This is part of my stash from Yuzawaya @ Kichijoji, Japan.  Concave round nose pliers, flat nose pliers, two accessory kits. 

 

I tried to find Clover round nose pliers but it wasn’t anywhere to be found.  Bought these from Yee’s Button House in SS2, Petaling Jaya.  Seriously costly, but worth every penny.

 

Starting work on one of the two accessory kits from Japan.  My first time using wire!

 

The finished product.  Thankfully the graphical directions weren’t hard.

 

Close up of the flower.  This is gonna be part of my accessories for Peter’s wedding on Sunday.

 

I was dying to experiment with the cookie moulds I got from Tokyu Hands, Ikebukuro, Japan.  Just lovely.  Got to admit the cookie itself wasn’t that lovely though.

 

The 1 of 4 Hello Kitty moulds!  Darn cute but the imprints don’t show as clear in person as in the picture.

 

My batch ‘o cookies.  The browner ones are from the first batch coz I wasn’t quite watching the oven… heh heh.

 

Close up of my Sunday night’s effort.

I am becoming a do-NUT!

Guess what came thru the doors of my humble abode yesterday?

Finally, I get to try J.Co donuts!  I’ve been hearing about this donut for quite a while now, but the one of the two times I was at the Pavillion, I couldn’t bring myself to stand in the very long line waiting to buy just… well, donuts.

That’s only because I’m not that big a donut person.  The only brand of donuts that I was addicted to was Krispy Kreme.  And that also, from one particular Washington outlet across the border from Canada. 

And I really wasn’t willing to queue.  Why this time then?  Coz I got Dad to queue for me (TQ muchies Dad) haha!  Dad was attending a function at the Pavillion and I suddenly thought of J.Co.  Luckily, Dad was also curious the fuss around these donuts (obviously, I was raving about it the night before, without actually having tried it  ).  Curious enough (and he also liked Krispy Kremes) to stand in line to buy some

Some you say???  Some = 2 dozen donuts.   I gave a half dozen to CL and another half dozen to YT.  On hindsight, I should have asked dad to buy 3 dozen.  I initially didn’t think that we could finish so many donuts.  Boy, was I wrong.

Presenting… the donuts…

Yummy yummy slurp slurp!  Dad actually ate 3!  I think it was 3, or was it 4?  haha!  Here are the names of the donuts (as found on their website, which did not have a complete list):

The one to the right of Cheese Me Up was a  Blueberry thing.  The one in between Miss Green Tea and Coco Loco tasted like Oreo… not sure about the on to the left of Miss Green Tea, but it looks like something with custard.   

And more pictures of gooey donuts… ah… sweet!

 

 

So yeah, I think I’ve almost become a donut addict.  The instructions for reheating was to have it in the micro for 8 seconds, but I found that it was not even necessary.  It was still soft and fluffy this morning, slurps!
