omiyage from japan & malibu rum =)

so my lab mate just got back from Hokkaido & she has kindly bought us quite a number of omiyage (souvenirs) from japan =) she went to the shiroi koibito cookie factory!!! i was like i WANT TO GO there!!! cause the cookies are like heavenly nice!!!! nowadays you can also find them at takashimaya basement when they having some japan fair... but is still quite pricey to get them in SG... so i had shamelessly requested for that from my lab mate =p


japan omiyage
she bought like this BIG tin of shiroi koibito!!! i was like wah... never seen such a big box before lea.... those i saw in japan airport are like just half the size & no metal thin!!!! she also bought us other snacks from kobe... hmm... ok lo..... shiroi koibito is still the best!!!!! then she also bought us individual gifts =)

music box + coke
she gotten me this cute little music box... at first i just thought the music box was cute then i realised there is more than meets the eyes..... the music is "Give me five!!!"... meaning is from akb48!!! like wah!!! so kind of her!!! ok... i am not a huge fan of akb but i do like their songs so i was like omg!!! i love it!!!! then the coke bottle isnt some special coke BUT look at the bottle, it has momoko written on it.... yup... momoko is the nickname/forum name that i gave myself.... so sweet of her to get me a bottle with my name.... going to display it on some shelf when i gotten my new house =)

then sidetrack abit... also a souvenir but is from DFS = malibu rum!!! i didnt know this liquor exist till another lab mate told me about it... she was like going on & on about how nice this alcohol is.... so must try... but alcohol cost a bomb in SG so the best place to get = DFS...

malibu!!!
for this 1L bottle, it only cost like S$26.70, like OMG cheap compared to what you find in cold storage... if i didnt remember wrongly, it cost like $75+ for 750mL!!! like HUGE difference.....

cocktail instruction
so one fine day, we decided to open this bottle & try.... my friend suggested pineapple juice & the malibu cocktail instruction also suggested that.... so we bought pineapple, mango juice & sprite cause want to give it some gassiness

mixers that we bought
final product
the juices for this brand is way too sweet especially the mango juice... super concentrated!!!! pineapple crush was ok... we mixed about 1:4 ratio = 1 portion of malibu to 3 portion of juice.... & seriously... malibu rum is really nice... it has this nice coconut taste but not too strong whereby pineapple juice will really bring out the sweetness in it.... really nice.... adding some sprite also nice cause it gets more gassy.... so... if you guys intend to go travel & have not thought of what to buy at DFS... get a bottle of malibu rum!!! nice & cheap =) *thumbs up*
