Pampering self

Many years ago in Dec. 2003, I had the best strawberries in my life while touring Tokyo Japan. But at price of 28 bucks for 15 tiny ones, those memories will only remain a, well, memory (Isetan supermarket is selling at like 38 to 58 for a punnet!)


Well, I spent 16 for some Korean ones last week (from Carrefour) but those, while sweet, is nothing reminiscent of the Japanese ones! Well, Mum and I went for dinner at Lei Gardens again tonight and we decided to cross the street to Jason's Mart after dinner to do some grocery shopping and I chanced upon these 20 bucks for a punnet at 500grams USA strawberries. I was hesitant to get it cos of the price and frankly, I don't really have faith in USA strawberries to actually taste sweet like honey but Mum told me to try it (ain't you all jealous for me having such a great mum?!)


Well, I got it and man...it was.....only ok. haha...nothing too great, the red part tastes sweet but not very sweet. the Korean ones are better any day. But these US ones are freaking gigantic! 500 grams for 15 of them so one weighs like 70 grams?! 5 of them and i actually felt full!





Also, I got the triple choco mousse from Da Paolo gastronomia next door again and this time round, i can finally show you the beautiful triple layering of the greatest dessert I found in Singapore!
