Excited Over This

I stopped by PC Supermarket last week to get some supplies when I found this




I had to give out a little shriek of excitement.  I've been looking for something like since I started baking as a hobby.

Marshmallow creme is one the vital ingredients in S'mores.  Don't confuse this with marshmallow icing.  This is more elastic and less spreadable than the icing.

In the past, I had to resort to local substitutes.  I'd sometimes melt mini mallows in milk to form this layer.  Just recently, I learned that I could mix the mallows in white meringue mixture then blow torch it a la Creme Brulee.

Soooo....

I tried it yesterday.  I baked a batch of S'mores and found it too sweet.  It over-powered the chocolate in S'mores.  Not good.  I probably shouldn't have put the whole tub in one batch.  Or, I should've put in more chocolates?  Nevertheless, it had this odd aftertaste.  Sayang, the graham cracker dough was baked perfectly, not too moist or dry.

I guess, I'll go back to my local version.

We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
