The Idea! 

What would it be like, if all the little goodies, that we create in our lovely kitchen, could be shared with others? What if the scrumptuous homemade pralines, marmelade, cupcakes, or spicemix were to be remarkably decoratively packed for a trip, a few kilometers away, so that it would create happiness for someone?!

Our thoughts: It would be amazing!

And by paying it forward, by sharing with others, we, at the Asian Supermarket World Foods and Imports, want to create and foster this happiness: The idea to share and to connect us!

How it works: Every 3 months, a theme will be announced on our blog. Everyone who would like to create [more] happiness, can register per Email, and you will receive an Exchange Partner at a fixed date. And so, the creation of happiness begins: cook, bake, stir, steam, and what ever your heart desires, snap a photo from your creation and send it away decoratively packed. And please post your photos on your blogs, if you don't have one, send us your photo and we will post it on our blog! And through our happiness creation, we could collect all our photos on Pinterest.

Join us in creating happiness? We would love to connect with you!

How does it all work?

Green Tea Mochi Ice Cream

These little delicious pockets of green tea (matcha) mochi ice cream are just little surprises to your tongue! The first time I ever had them was just a coincidence. We have always been stocking them in our freezer section, but just the other day, I had a craving for green tea; but not the hot liquid, something else, something different. So as I was strolling along the various aisles, I came across a package that said green tea mochi ice cream... it sparked my interest and I opened the package, then slowly the silver package and inside were little individual plastic with these little gems inside.

I took a bite into it and and it was AMAZING! I had about 5 within the 30 minutes of discovering these lovely pockets of green tea! It is basically rice flour as the outside part filled with green tea ice cream. It is gluten free..no wheat! Yay!!!

You should try it yourself! Take a stroll along our aisle at the Asian Supermarket World Foods and Imports. You never know what you will discover. Just like myself, after 30 years.... I just had my first ever green tea mochi ice cream.  These are staples in Japan and imagine they are individual pieces...exact amounts of happiness ;)
