Marshmallows ღღღ
did I mentioned before that I LOVE to eat Marshmallows?
haha, i absolutely fell in love with them ever since the first piece of marshmallow melted into my mouth when I was still a kid. I still remembered it was chocolate flavour and the cute packaging showing a colourful wooden rocking horse on each individual wrapper.
not just any marshmallow will satisfy me but only authentic made in japan marshmallow.
those made in USA or european countries are often made with too much sugar and they tasted weird to me.
My love is for those with chocolate and strawberry fillings, not those with funny JAM fillings.
I have noticed many counterfeit products especially from a country 5hours from us via air, they made the packaging looked exactly the same and many a times people didn't realised that they were being conned into paying for more than what it's worth.
even though the packaging can be copied (completed with all the japanese wordings etc), their quality are definitely something they cannot match with.
the chocolate fillings of the China made marshmallows tasted more impure.
much less to say for strawberry fillings, for Japan marshmallows the strawberry used for the fillings are oftenly CREAM type, whereas for the counterfeit, they used JAM.
Of course, taste varies between individuals, but I very much prefer the Japan strawberry marshmallows as they tasted creamy and with just the right sweetness, the strawberry Jam fillings tasted sweet but also a little sour.
the biggest difference of the M.I.J and M.I.C marshmallows can be seen easily from the appearance, they will appear wrinkled whereas Japan made marshmallows are smooth textured and appear plumped.
if you are unsure, the easiest way is to check at the back of the packaging, the place of manufacture.
