So small…

My brother bought me this from Singapore…

…that came in a quaint, little tin…

Takashimaya, no less!!!

I bet they’re pretty expensive! They’re called petite gaufres…or Kobe fugetsudo – in Japanese obviously. I googled to find out more and it seems that they are referred to as waffles.

I would think they’re more like wafers…or those paper thin things that we used to love as kids. They came in all kinds of colours – red, green…whatever, stored in a tin and we used to be able to buy them at fun fairs together with candy floss which was every child’s favourite way back then…and I remember that they were actually quite tasteless.

They were sealed-packed in threes and in a tin, there were only two packs, so that meant there were only six altogether…

To me, they actually looked like our love letters or kuih sepit/kapit…

…and each came in twos, with some sweet vanilla or strawberry cream sandwiched in between…

…but personally, I did not think they were any good at all even though my missus quite liked them. I think I would much sooner have our kuih sepit/kapit which would not only be nicer but also a lot cheaper. I do like the tin though…so I’ll just keep that and see what I can do with it.
