It's important to try new things every now and then to escape from the mundane. So I went to Davis's Ho Ho (好好) Market and got a bunch of snacks!

Table of Contents:

• Hung Fook Tong Logan With Honey Drink
• Hi Tempura Spicy Tempura Seaweed
• Lotte Chocolate Pie
• Bourbon White Rollita

Fun Fact: Longan is very similar to Lychee except for the color (brown vs. red), texture of their skin (smooth vs. bumpy), and subtleties in flavor. The honey in this drink was overpowering for the first few sips but the longan flavor peeked through afterwards. The flavor tasted fairly accurate and the drink was refreshing in the 100F Davis weather. The only thing I didn't like was how overpowering the honey was for the first few sips.

Hi Tempura is a fried version of Tao Kae Noi Crispy Seaweed. The flavor of this tempura seaweed was strange at first but I learned to really like it. It's actually surprisingly spicy. The bag says it serves 8 people but there's really only enough to satisfy the snack cravings for one person. Overall, this is certainly one of the good savory snacks.

This one is really cool! The box has squirrels everywhere which is legit. When I flipped the box to look at the back I was flabbergasted when I saw that there were Microwave instructions. I poured a bunch of the pastries on to a plate and microwaved it for 35 seconds. The pastries came out warm and the chocolate was slightly melted. It was a unique experience indeeed. The pastries tasted alright and the portions are perfect for sharing or for saving. What I didn't like was the firmness of the pastry shell. I think it would be better if the shell was less thick and if there was more chocolate.

The moment I opened the package my nostrils were overwhelmed by a strong sweet scent. The White Rollita is simply a biscuit covered in white chocolate. The biscuits are alright and the white chocolate was pretty good too. However, the flavor really went dramatically downhill after I ate more than one. By the time I had four, the chocolate had the same texture and aftertaste as a crayon.
