Food Adventure -- Asian Food Market
*some friends and I try some new edibles*
I recently visited the Asian Food Market in Albany, NY with some friends. The market had displays of cool looking spiky fruit; dried octopus; tanks full of live fish, crabs, and eel; and aisles full of candy.
We spent most of our time in the sweets section... of course!
The aisles were long, narrow, and filled to the brim with fun colorfully packaged treats. There was such a large selection but we managed to pick out just a few things to try. Our decisions were almost purely made on how marvelous we thought the packaging was... and we were not disappointed!
We found Lychee Gummies that tasted like flowers, Melon Gummies shaped like hearts, and Yuzu Gummies that were fresh and lemony. All the Gummies had a light powdery coating and were really fragrant. We tried Choco Baby tic tac shaped chocolates, Lychee Fruit, Meiji Apollo strawberry chocolates, Pocky (chocolate covered pretzels) which are very onomatopoeic and such fun to eat! High Chew had a super strange texture. It seemed like really hard gum at first, or soft chewy plastic. It eventually dissolved and tasted faintly like a green apple. And we ended with thick creamy ice cream balls covered in rice dough, called Mochi.
Overall the trip was yummy and we found some scrumptious new food favorites.
I challenge you to try a strange new food!
