I've visited Japan Home Centre wayback, at a different branch. That's how I was able to try the Kit Kat Green Tea. Up to now, I still love to eat it when I craved for chocolate. In front of the store you are welcomed by somewhat a Japanese anime character statue. I wasn't able to buy anything at Japan Home Centre, I just window shopped, and I took some photos because I plan to write about it.
There were lots of housewares that you can choose from, and its really cheap. This is a value store. Everything here is really cheap!
The price starts at P88 (eighty-eight pesos only). Even the Japanese chocolates were priced cheaply. I checked on the expiration date and thank heavens! The products are still not expired. From dinner wares, kitchen utensils, home decor, even toys for kids, Japan Home Centre has everything in store for you. I'm just surprised when I checked where the housewares or kitchen utensils were made I was shocked that its made in China. So I'm not sure if the products here, are really durable or long-lasting. I was a bit disappointed because I thought everything is made in Japan since the shop is named Japan Home Centre.

After work I went to Landmark to do a bit of grocery shopping. Passing by the stalls near the entrance I noticed this new kiosk, Brown Butter. What particularly caught my attention was that of the Japanese characters. I cannot read Japanese but I can recognize the characters. The kiosk or the stall sells Japanese style pancakes. I think it is similar to Dorayaki (Japanese pancakes with sweet red-bean filling). This pancake is unique, because it consists of different flavors, and it has different fillings, not the usual red bean filling. I bought 3 pancakes and all I can say is that its really affordable. I got red velvet, maple and butter, mocha and dulce de leche. Tired of the usual pancakes? Then I suggest you try Brown Butter pancakes. There are many flavors to choose from.
You can buy the pancakes individually and its also available per pack/box. This is a great 'pambaon'
as snacks for the kids, and also for the yuppies, perfect for people on the go. When placed in the box, the pancakes can be a giveaway also. What I like about it is that it is neatly packed and you can carry it with you easily. So if you're always rushing early in the morning, and you have no time for breakfast, now you have no reason to skip your breakfast grab these pancake sandwiches. I also like it because it has a best-before date posted on each of the individually wrapped pancakes. So what are you waiting for! Definitely you'll say oishi!

Memories of holidays brings fond recollection of childhood memories. My mom, and aunt made us believe that Santa brings presents/gifts to good kids. I remember waking up seeing socks with sweets and goodies filled with a small snack container when you open it, lo and behold! long stick biscuits, with choco-dip on the side. The name of that snack isYan Yan, and as I get older, they have come up with another flavor which is strawberry. I love both flavors and receiving goodies such as this, is already a treat for me, and my brother. Even if I'm already an adult, I still love Meiji snacks. I love their Hello Panda biscuits filled with chocolate, or strawberry cream. I found out that these snacks originated in Japan. After having my hair cut done in a popular salon (I'm sporting a short hair now), I bought these cute candies at a bookstore. We all know that when it comes to cuteness, Japanese things is the no.1. It is a cute set of boxed candies. Searching on the internet, they are called Meiji mini assorted candy. The set includes, strawberry chocolate marbles (my favorite), coffee beat, choco baby, chocolate marbles (their version of M & M's in chocolate and strawberry). I bought this pack for less than a hundred pesos. Philippines is near Japan, so the products that are imported here doesn't cost a lot. I checked on the amazon website, and these candies were way expensive. Other sweet snacks that I have tried are their almond covered chocolates which are good. I have tried their chocolate bar also. Tastes like your usual Japanese chocolates. (I love Japanese chocolates since they are not too sweet compared to the US made chocolates. Wayback, my cousins who are living in Japan would send us cute Japanese chocolates wrapped individually and the chocolates have letters written on them.). From my research Meiji belongs to a large group of companies, related in manufacturing and selling foods and pharmaceuticals.
I've also included in this blog post of mine. Arashi's Matsujun's commercial. This commercial reminds me of Willy Wonka. (I like Willy Wonka, and I cosplayed his character wayback in our office Halloween celebration), This is a compilation of his Meiji commercials, and a bonus behind the scenes. By the way, Matsujun also stars in a drama series, called Shitsuren Chocolatier (Heartbroken Chocolatier).
