Nabisco Oreo Soft Cookie Maccha Milk

Oiishi! Soft and spongy Orea cookie sandwiches filled with creamy matcha icing. Shiok Japan is selling it at $9.90 per pack. I bought it from Komtar Mall, City Square JB for RM13.90 whereas Ang Mo Supermarket is selling it at S$3.95, down from the usual S$4.50.

Containing 10 individually packed pieces, they are simply great for travels and for office tea break.
The fluffy soft texture of the Oreo exterior combined with inner Uji matcha green tea cream is such an awesome combination. Loving it!

Nabisco also has them in cool mint cream flavour. Shop on Amazon here.

Nabisco Oreo Bitz Sand Koi Maccha

Bought a pack of Nabisco Oreo Bitz Sand Koi Maccha from a pop-up fair in Komtar, Johor Bahru recently. Each pack contains mini oreo biscuits with matcha cream inbetween each biscuit. 

It wasn't that impressive when I first got hold of them because the matcha taste was not distinct and its more on the sweet side, rather than the bitterness commonly associated with matcha, 

The chocolate oreo taste and scent are similar to the usual oreo biscuits while the matcha cream taste is weaker than the oreo. 

Ingredients: 

flour, sugar, vegetable oil, lactose, cocoa powder, glucose fructose liquid sugar, corn flour, ingredients made of dairy (whole milk powder, sweetened condensed milk, fat-free milk powder, sugar, lactose, others), matcha (100% Uji matcha), cacao mass, whey powder (dairy product), salt, leavening agent, flavoring, emulsifier (soybean-derived)

Morinaga Otona Pack'ncho ( Disney Rachel Green Tea )

I purchased a pack of Morinaga Otona Pack'ncho from Tokyo Hometown Japanese Supermarket in Melbourne last month. Made in Japan, they are the limited edition Disney Themed Matcha Biscuits.

I polished the whole pack in one seating because I was just so hungry and it was so addictive. The slight bitterness of the cocoa blends well with the matcha filling in the cookie. Satisfying!

Sakura Matcha KitKat

A dear friend has bought a 3 pack Sakura Matcha KitKat when she visited Osaka recently. I was delighted to see matcha in it, and gleefully tear open the pack.

A box contains 3 individually packs of 2 fingers Kit Kats. With a blend of green tea, cherry blossom and white chocolate, the Sakura Matcha KitKats are lighter in green tea but more on the white chocolate with a hint of floral taste.
In short, it is simply too sweet for me, even for my sweet tooth. I can't even go beyond 1 pack.

Ingredients :
Cocoa Powder, Yeast, Cocoa Mass, Emulsifier, Baking Soda, Flavouring, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Lactose, Flour, Powdered Whole Milk, Cocoa Butter, Matcha Paste, Matcha, Yeast Food.

                           

Yayoi Hokkaido Mille Crepe Cake with Matcha ice-cream

At $5, the Hokkaido Mille Crepe Cake with Matcha ice-cream on the poster outside Yayoi Japanese restaurant in Liang Court has been running through my mind for several weeks before I finally caved in.

Loving the vibe in Yayoi Restaurant where one feel comfortable away from the prying eyes due to the many partitions between each table, I had the dessert alone on a weekday afternoon. Still, it is too tiny to be satisfying. And the matcha powder seems to be missing from the mille crepe on my plate.

The matcha ice-cream is pretty intense and flavourful which is a perfect match with the vanilla mille crepe that is mild and yet delightfully tasty. Azuki beans is not something I really adore so I left it alone.

Meiji Hello Panda Cocoa Biscuits with Matcha Green Tea Cream Filling

A pack costs $1 from Meidiya Supermarket so naturally, it went into my basket. The newest flavour to date, the cute panda biscuits contain a cocoa exterior, which is slightly bitter and is filled up with matcha cream filling. After finishing up the whole pack one night, I realized my throat has turned dry and desperately need water, before sore throat comes along.

You can shop for the biscuits on Amazon. Check it here.

Patbingsu Green Tea from Cafe Insadong

With the influx of Korean cafes and their shaved ice desserts recently, I decided to try the Patbingsu Green Tea from Cafe Insadong. Patbingsu is basically a shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings that include fruits, condensed milk, syrup and azuki beans.

In Cafe Insadong, their patbingsu ranges between $8.50 to $9 with a few selection of flavours to choose from. Needless to say, I chose mine in Green Tea and toppings include almond slices, red dates and tiny globs of sticky rice cake.

You can read about how patbingsu is made here.

Tohato Choco Meliza Matcha

Purchased at Mizuki Japan, Bugis Street, a box costs $3.80 and contains 16 individually packed pieces.

In each individual pack, there are 2 wafer-thin like pieces coated with chocolate and matcha cream on the exterior of the matcha biscuits. Both the matcha and the chocolate scent and taste are subtle yet blends well to give the right punch.

I actually enjoyed having them when my tummy is rumbling because it does satisfy slight hunger pangs during tea-break.

Nabisco Picola Ujimatcha Milk

Costing $2.50 at J-mart, Nabisco Picola Ujimatcha Milk contains 2 packs with 6 biscuit rolls in each pack. Light and crispy, they are perfect as an afternoon snack which I easily polished off in 30 minutes flat. The matcha milk cream within each roll is neither too sweet nor too bitter - just the way I like it.

" Nanao Seika " French Matcha Papiro

Papiro refers to thin sheets of dough wrapped like paper scrolls and that is essentially what French Matcha Papiro is. 
A rolled-up version of a crisp cracker with matcha tea cream enveloped within it. The exterior is hard and crispy but slightly bitter and dry. The interior made of matcha cream has a subtle taste and you can hardly whiff it. 

A pack costs me $2.80 at Yamakawa Super at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Its small enough for many mouthfuls in one seating and my husband and the nephew love them. I find it pretty medicore though.

Sanritsu Pirouettes Langue Matcha

Shaped like an egg roll but shorter, the Sanritsu Pirouettes Langue Matcha is like a crispy green tea cookie with the fluffy texture of how an egg roll tastes like, but with a matcha taste. Not something I would purchase again.

Ingredients :
Fluor, Sugar, Shortening, Butter, Malt Powder, Emulsifier, Flavour

Glico Caplicocot Matcha Au Lait

Being a loyal matcha fan, I always have this habit in checking out new matcha items. Glico Caplicocot Matcha Au Lait from Yamakawa Super costs $2.80 and consists of 12 tiny bite-sized pieces, with matcha on the top and chocolate at the bottom.

The 12 bite sized pieces are kept in a tray that looks like an egg tray. Slight effort is required to get the pieces out as they are stiff at first, after being kept in the fridge. However, the interior is softer and is a mixture of matcha and chocolate. Yummy enough as a matcha dose but unable to fill up the tummy when its so tiny.

Glico Collon Biscuit Roll Matcha Green Tea Flavour

Little wafer tube roll with a soft and creamy filling, inclined more towards sweetness rather than an intense matcha flavour. I finish one box within 10 minutes. Available for purchase at $1 in those ABC shops around Singapore. 

Ingredients : 
Sugar, Wheat Flour, Margarine, Lactose, Egg Powder, Skimmed Milk Powder, Green Tea Powder, Glucose Syrup, Green Tea Flavour


                                                                      

Glico Green Tea Pocky

Hailing from Thailand, this Matcha Pocky is available in our local NTUCs for $1 a pack. It is said that Matcha Pocky is made from expertly crafted biscuit dough that uses the highest quality flour and green tea cream made from Japanese grown green tea.
This is a biscuit stick coated with green tea cream to give that matcha flavoured sticks. A bit too sweet for my liking though.

                                               

Tsujiri Parfait + White Chocolate Matcha Cake

Matcha from Tsujiri Tea House is a winner in my heart! Concentrated and rich, it is what I like. However, the prices are not meant for daily treats. At $7.50, the O-maccha parfait is pretty expensive. You can check out their range here.
In this parfait, it contains the azuki beans, cornflakes and chocolate wafer rolls, however the winner is still the rich, concentrated and flavourful matcha ice-cream!

I am told that this white chocolate matcha cake is one of their popular choices. Visit between 8pm to 10pm at the Tanjong Pagar 100AM outlet, you get 10% off a slice of cake or 20% for 3 slices or more, hence be there early as it tends to get crowded after 8pm.

Soft and crumbly like chiffon cake, it is a nice matcha indulgence.

Bourbon Alfort Matcha

Made by Bourbon, Alfort refers to a range of half cookie/ half candy type of snacks. In this pack of Bourbon Alfort Matcha, it contains 10 individually packed cookies positioned in a white plastic tray.

The top layer is a vanilla butter biscuit with a thick layer of sweet matcha as the bottom layer. There is a drawing of a boat on the matcha itself.

As a snack, I feel that the overall taste is too sweet, which is largely due to the matcha ( seems to contain white chocolate but based on the ingredient list, it could be just cocoa butter ). It is not something that I will polish off in one seating.

Glico Double Pretz - Matcha and Vanilla

Product Description
This Double Pretz consists of a crunchy pretzel stick coated down one side with delicious matcha (Japanese green tea) and vanilla flavouring. Pretz are perfect for when you fancy snacking on something slightly less sweet than Pocky. Double Pretz Matcha Vanilla comes in smart metallic packaging, and each box contains a generous portion of pretzel sticks - enough to share if you're nice enough!

I bought a 45g of this Glico Double Pretz in Matcha and Vanilla flavours from China. Pretz isn't my kind of snack since I prefer something sweet rather than savoury which is what Pretz is known for. The Double Pretz has a thin layer of the matcha and vanilla coating on top of the matcha biscuit stick.
However, the matcha scent is pretty light so the satisfaction is not really there.

Ingredients:
Wheat flour, Vegetable Oil, Sugar, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Shortening, Whole Milk Powder, Lactose, Green Tea Powder, Yolk Powder, Raising Agent, Emulsifier, Skimmed Milk Powder, Table Salt, Flavour, Cocoa Butter.
Allergy advice: contains Wheat, Milk and Soybean

Unlike the usual Pocky biscuit sticks with its thin exterior flavor, this matcha mousse biscuit sticks has a thick and creamy green tea coating on the exterior, which is sweet and yummy. A must-try for matcha fans!

Glico Pejoy Matcha Mousse Flavour

Product Description
Pocky Matcha is a refreshing and light member of the Pocky family. It has the same crispy cookie biscuit core that is coated with something completely unique: a green tea cream coating. A perfect snack for a more sophisticated taste.

When I am overseas, I like to visit their supermarkets to check out their snacks and any unique offerings, that are different from Singapore. On my recent trip to China ( Changsha & Chong Qing ), I picked up Glico Pejoy in Matcha, Red Wine and Tiramisu flavours.

I blogged mainly on Matcha flavours because Matcha is my greatest love, together with Froyo. In this Pejoy, it looks and feels like pretzels but is not exactly so. The crispy biscuit is enveloped with matcha cream in it and is a joy to have it, in tea break. In fact, I finished the whole packet of 16 sticks ( 2 packets with 8 sticks in each ) within 15 minutes.

Ingredients:
Wheat Flour, Vegetable Oil (Partially-Hydrogenated), Sugar, Lactose, Whole Milk Powder, Shortening, Malt Extract, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Green Tea Powder, Calcium Carbonate, Baking Powder, Table Salt, Flavourings, Emulsifier, Coffee Powder, Cocoa Butter, Enzyme Preparation.

Bourbon Elise Wafer - Matcha & White Cream

There was a promotion at Isetan Westgate where you get 3 boxes for $10, if I remembered correctly.
In each box, comes with 6 white cream filling wafers and 6 matcha cream filling wafers. All are individually wrapped.

Made in Japan, you can expect they are wrapped prettily, presentable enough as Christmas gifts with other snacks. The size and shape remind me of Kit-Kats.

The taste is like a regular wafer but with a hint of matcha taste if you have the green one. Nothing spectacular as the cream is too little to make a heavy impact.
