Permen Koya
Asem or Sour Koya Candy is Indonesian traditional candy made by sugar, food
coloring and citrus extract (I think "koya" means citrus in javanese
language). And oh, this is my favorite traditional candy since it has citrusy
sour taste and melt right away you put it in your mouth.
This candy were popular at the times when i was a child (1990s) and easily
found in a store or warung, but right now you can only find them in a
certain store in certain place. I found a pack of these in a souvenir shop in
Yogyakarta. Try some when you stop by
Price: Rp 11.000/250gr
Nyam.. I
bet you're already knew some of Oishi's products and this one (i think) is the
latest in Indonesia's market. Sponge Crunch comes with two flavor, strawberry
and chocolate. I've tried them both and they taste like heaven (*whisper*,
"chocolate is the best...st..")
Price: Rp 8.500
Sour candy straps. I
can't say anything except this taste like a rubber eraser with strawberry
essence addition.
Well, it's not that bad
actually, I still eat those straps. It just that I've tried a better one.
You should try Sour Scoox or Sour Straps from Fascini, it's a lot more sour and
tastier than this. (from my opinion though)
Price: ?
Indeed, a true chocolate lover knows the
grace of belgian chocolate. I rarely had a chance to taste this divine
bittersweet flavor of belgian chocolate, so thanks a zillion times to the
person who bought me this choco bar.
Price: €17,10
(according to the price tag behind) *gee quite expensive T.T

| Papapuff |
Last week, when I seek for a snack in one convenience
store, my eyes stuck at the series of this new snack in Indonesia. The package
a bit look like Tohato's Caramel Corn in Japan, the difference is only in the
front face. As for Tohato, they look like a face of a cat, in the case of
Papapuff is a face of bearded Papa. :D
Intrigued by the similarities, I decided to buy one with butter caramel flavor.
And..ta da . It is really caramel corn!! As a caramel corn fans, it's not bad.
Papapuff comes in 3 flavor, Cafe Mocha, Condensed Milk and my favorite, Butter
Caramel. I'm sure it's gonna be a new trend in Jakarta.
