Recently Taiwan treats seem to be in the trend.

I got to know of this popular souvenir from SUGAR & SPICE in Taiwan and was told that their sweet treats were a must buy.

SUGAR & SPICE were even the designated souvenir by the Taiwan Tourism Festival Celebrations 2016 and has been voted as a must-eat snack and top souvenirs in Taiwan and Taichung.

The popular treats include their nougats and Cheese pineapple cake.

They also retail a myriad of sweet delights including Sun Cake, feuilletage, crepe cookies, sandwich cookies and peanut candy!

Their nougats come in a variety of flavours, including the original French nougat, strawberry nougat and toffee nougat.

My favourite has got to be their French nougat, especially its fragrant milky aroma and that soft chewy texture coupled with the crispy almond nibs.

My parents enjoyed their Cheese pineapple cakes. :)

Taking this traditional popular pastry to a different height is their Cheese pineapple tart. A wonderful spin of the traditional Taiwanese flavour by encasing the sweet sour pineapple filling in a buttery parmesan cheese added crust.

Yummssss…. Seriously who leaves Taiwan without trying their pineapple cakes?

So my friends in Singapore, don’t worry if you can’t find a good friend to help you carry back these goodies or if you are not travelling to Taiwan, you can order online at their website; they provide overseas shipping service to HK, Macau, Mainland China, Japan, Singapore, Korea, Australia, and Malaysia (WOW!).

If you are heading to Taiwan, remember to check out their stores including:

Being a crazy fanatic on Japanese products, I was really thrilled when I discovered Hokkaido Omiyage via Rakuten Singapore.

Japan is famous for many things, and amongst it is the amazing sweets and snacks.

Hokkaido Omiyage true to its name, sells a wide variety of omiyage sweets and snacks. Ingrained in the gift giving culture in Japan, omiyage is a must buy especially when travelling.

And what is special is that these omiyage is usually only sold in certain prefectures/places of Japan.

But now you can find some of them here too!

Dunno what to choose from?

I highly recommend the Hokkaido Sweets All Stars Assortment A pack.

Super good deal with the best known and popular snacks from Hokkaido. 

The pack includes:

A popular souvenir, the Calbee jaga pokkuru that uses Hokkaido potatos and Saroma lake salt.
