I love bake sales because that gives a sneak into what a bakery can do, rather than go head on with a full order and be in for a huge surprise. For Goobycakes you can say I have been a stalker on their IG for the longest time and finally decided to take the plunge with my first bag of paos and cookies. Cheese paos as they are affectionately known as, come with a chewy mochi interior and a crusty exterior. These are sold piping hot and are baked just minutes before the scheduled timing. The paos are indeed as addictive as described. $5 for 6 and these chewy babies pack so much flavour. I could nom on them consecutively. Also, I had to give these chewy chocolate cookies a try. $6 for 3 large pieces of chewy goodness. So good, please share them else the calorie overload will just be on you!

And in true Japanese style, limited editions of every sort and kind. Warabi Mochi (JPY 810) Bracken starch dumpling served with brown sugar syrup was the reason for this visit.   The bracken starch dump...

I love my mochi from Japan to Taiwan and China and instead of the usual fillings, these famed Taiwanese exports are a blanket over cheesecake bars. Machi Cheese or so it's fondly known as has been a favourite souvenir to lug home with the thoughtful packaging of the owner - they remained frozen and still as fresh though I collected my love package from a dear friend 2 days after her touch down. Those chewy mochi rolls are best eaten on their own and likewise for their cheesecake bars since they do not even stick together! That said, lovely icy treats just not quite worth the effort to lug back, methinks. If I had to rank, chocolate ranks tops next to mango.
