Photobucket hokkaido fair 2009! @ 12:22:00 AM

Jasmine checks out hokkaido fair~
quick! they are still at tamp mall for a short period of time!


Everybody, if you have read the straits times urban section, then you would have known the existance of isetan;s hokkaido fair~
Bringing in food all over hokkaido, from its seafood, to its ramen to its melon specialities.
how can i resist the temptation?
Being a foodie, obviously i would have dropped by since it is just right across the road.
ps: it was previously @ shaw's

Here, i have uploaded some pictures of the items that I have tried.
to any of you whom wants to drop by hokkaido fair, here are my top favourites!

Pullman's bakery; winner of tv champion
Pullman bakery has brought in 2 specialities, curry bun $2.70 and salt caramel croissant $2.70.
Jas says: if you only wanna try 1, try the salt caramel croissant.
the salt caramel croissant is mostly sold out fast, in addition, the curry bun has testers. you can just pick the testers.

Please note, the curry bun is different from what you can find in four leaves etc.
they don't have the singaporean style of chicken and egg. it is totally japanese curry (sweet) and potatoes. thus don't be disappointed and ask, "where is the egg ah?"




However, there's a reason why is good.. when brought home after a day, the bread continues to be crispy, with a soft fluffy dough in the insider. When bitten, thick japanese curry sauce will ooze out, providing a good texture with the slightly boiled potatoes. Definately filling.


As for the croissant, I have bought 2.
ALL FOR MYSELF! MUAHAHAHAhA!
Ate 1 on that day, and another 2 days later...




Guess what, the croissant smelt heavenly. Due to the caramel, it smells like candy coated freshly baked butter bread when toasted in the toaster.
The salt gave the croissant a balance from the caramel, giving you both sensations. Sweet at first and salt to balance. Like wise the curry bun. When bitten, it flakes like puff pastries and fluffy in the inside. Definately a thumbs up!


All sorts of croquette, hokkaido special!
Honestly, I have never seen so many kinds of croquette (in SIngapore) before.
Croquette isn't my kind of thing, coz to me, it just some deep fried potato with different stuffings.
This time round, came along with the hokkaido theme, introducing different flavours.
As hokkaido is darn cold, due to the geographic location, their people love to eat hot and soup stuff. Thus they had croquette of these flavours! Cream stew, crab cream stew, cream of corn etc.


jasmine says: tried crab cream stew, nothing much
Just tastes like some mushy cream stew for the filling. Couldn't taste the crab.
Disappointed. Costs $4 +per croquette.

All the way from Teshikaga, here comes kato suisan's oni ni kan bo!
Means taraba crab bun!!!!
I not only tried their crab bun ($13.20), I also tried their melon bun ($4.20).
Jasmine says: Melon bun!
Japanese buns are unlike singapore's char siew buns.
Their outer later tends to be harder. More towards the bread texture than fluff.
However, once you peel it apart, the smell of melons seems to have erupted!
The fragrance of melons, will make you think of spring...
Makes one happy after tasting the sweet melon paste, making it a heartful snack. Definately can be listed as a soul food.
Do not try the crab bun, unless you are really into eating taraba crabs and have spare cash to spend. Definately not your kind of bun which can be found in the streets.
Boasts the fact of a crab leg in every bun. Honest fact, the crab leg is only about 2/3 the length of the bun. Didn't like the filling with veges. Not that kind of healthy person. Mr ang pinched some my bun, commented that it is not worth it. didn't like the taste.


Okaru's Che Miu serving sweet delights~
Fruits Omelette $4! My fav!
Jasmine says: A MUST BUY! no regrets!
Together with cream (tasted like vanilla ice-cream), custard, and assorted fruits (including baby mandarin oranges), it is heaven!!!! The omelette skin isn't like those egg omelette. It is called omelette due to its image which looks like the japanese omelette rice.
The outer layer is actually pancake! like those you have tried in mcdonald's breakfast, but sweeter, softer and fluff-ier!




Lastly... butter manju from saporro's hokuyu.
You will definately see a line for this. $1.30 for 1 and $12 for 10
Standing within 5m radius from the stall, you will be caught immediately for the buttery scent!
no joke!
Boosting 3 flavours, red bean, custard and white red bean (limited).
Didn't have time to buy the limited, sold out darn fast.
Managed to try the custard and red bean instead.
This is not kueh kueh ok!
Tastes like .... some butter pancake with loads of fillings.
The outer layer is darn thin. thus you can taste the filling within a split second.
I will say try both flavours though. Both are my top choices!!!!

I have also tried (but with no pictures)
1. Cream dowa 's melon soft serve (top 3 choices)
2. Shinori's Cheese souffle
3. Ikameshi (Seasoned squid stuffed with glutinous rice)
and loads more, can;t recall.
Have fun guys, if you're going to the hokkaido fair!!!
Ps: Bring cash. Loads of cash!
