I have been searching far and wide for cubyrop candies ever since <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantjeansparlor.net\/\">Anjali<\/a> featured them on her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantjeansparlor.net\/archives\/2006\/07\/cubyrop.html\">blog<\/a> (if you are a fan of Japanese candy, you must tune in for her Japanese Candy Fridays). I had searched in vain until today! I found them at an Asian supermarket not far from my house. It specializes in Chinese and Vietnamese food, so I never thought I&#8217;d find these coveted little Japanese candies there.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/cubyrop and marshmallows.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"cubyrop and marshmallows.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/cubyrop and marshmallows-thumb.JPG\" width=\"260\" height=\"195\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center>As you can see, I also got some fun-looking marshmallows (made in the Philippines, no less!). The cubyrop do not disappoint. They are hard candies in fruity flavors. Yum. Maybe I should get more to include in <a href=\"http:\/\/superbuzzy.com\">superbuzzy<\/a> orders?<br \/>\nThe Asian supermarket (Fubonn) is housed in a larger mall (Fubonn Center) that has all sorts of mysterious Asian stores. One is a bakery with beautiful slices of cake and lots of buns and breads of unknown content. I got this perfect little bun for Peter:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/meianna bun.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"meianna bun.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/meianna bun-thumb.JPG\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center>He wouldn&#8217;t eat it, though, because he was scared of it.

In Japan they have all sorts of breads with, uh, exotic foodstuffs crammed into them. I thought Peter might enjoy this bun. After all, it&#8217;s kind of like a weiner wrap, and who doesn&#8217;t like weiner wraps? Maybe I will eat it tomorrow, though I have been sick lately, and that bun might just send me into a relapse &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love how there are always discoveries to be made, especially when they&#8217;re unexpected.
