TREATS FROM MAKI: PIGEON PEAS


The eagerly anticipated package from Maki finally got to me via Malini! I promised Maki that I’d post photos of these Japanese snacks on Chilli Crab Kitchen before I consumed them. But then it rained.  It rained again the next day. Not great weather for the amateur photographer.




The sun finally appeared yesterday morning. I hastily snapped a few shots before I dashed off to work. I love the Pigeon logo on the paper bag. It looks as if it is enjoying little snack peas. Super cute! The name of the snack shop in Kanji is 豆源, which translates to "The Bean Source" in Chinese. It sells a variety of bean snacks. According to Maki, the snack shop uses a pigeon for its logo because in Japanese culture, the pigeon and the bean 豆are somehow characterised with each other.

Were these pea snacks with squid , shrimp and different flavor similar to the fish crackers you showed me?

Hi Maki, the flavour is different. I'm dying for you to try some of ours!

下半场 | 英雄回归

昨天逛书局时, 竟发现久违的英雄牌钢笔。你是否也用过?反正这就是我中学时期的回忆。赶紧买了一支。当然,墨水是必需的。 人生下的半场 做个简单的人  少于人纠缠 多看大自然  在路上见世界 在途中寻自己  知山高水阔 故云淡风轻  名山海可平 故风雨兼程  以如常为安 以如愿为喜 ...
