While our parents waiting in line for the ferry to Macau, A2 and I went into the nearby Aji Ichiban – a Japanese small-snack store. A2 bought a pineapple biscuit, a pineapple in green tea biscuit and a chestnut bun. I got a small vacuum pack of roasted goose and a pack of soy quail eggs. The goose tasted a bit like duck but with the texture of pork. [gallery link="none" columns="2" type="rectangular" ids="1787,1788,1790,1789,1826"]...

After our claypot dinner we walked through the flea market and tasted a mango and cream crepe from this rather popular stall. The next day I was passing through the same street and decided to try a meat mince/preserved vegetable bun, which they’re famous for (13HKD) and a red bean “teeth” pastry (6HKD).

After dinner we walked to Hakata Station and went around the food level of Hankyu to try food samples and look at their bread and sweets. I love sweet potato, so I was going to get a slice of a sweet potato cake that seemed pretty popular. Dad and I managed to get a sample of before buying it. It was creamier than I imagined it would be so I didn’t get any in the end. One slice was ¥250 and whole cakes were sold by weight. [gallery columns="2"...

Today we were driving from Nagasaki to catch a ferry to Kumamoto. At one of the towns on the way we stopped at another grocery store and bought some strawberries, a chopped up orange, some bright green honeydew (it was an avocado green colour), some browned/baked beans and a packet of red bean/chestnut buns. We thought the packet of buns we picked up only had chestnut in it, which was what we wanted. [gallery order="DESC" columns="2"]...
