The bulk barn had been opened like almost a year now and when it first started, like everything else everyone was raving about it. But it’s not as cheap as they want us to think. A trip to bulk barn for the 3 of us can come up to easily $20 and the wife and the kid don’t eat a lot of munchies at that. Can you imagine, the families that comes with junk food kiddos ? daylight robbery the wife said.
We picked a little of everything, so that we can get to try everything that looks interesting in the store. But the wife said not to get the turkish delight, it is nothing like the ones, you get from a Greece nor a greek restaurant. Quite the disapointment especially there is a no tasting policy.

Don’t think it is healthy but it was cheap and at 50% off – can’t refuse an offer like these here.
I wasn’t kidding when I told you all that I liked junk food. Krispy Kreme in Japan is a must when we had a stopover there. I bought a bunch to share with the co-workers in India and they were thrilled. Eating it fresh brings out the ultimate taste of these donuts but it still tasted pretty good after a few hours. Located in Shinjiku, Tokyo – we never miss this store.

The wife said i had to go to the hottest hot dog stand when i am in L.A. – I asked her which one because I have been to so many and she mentioned pink. So dutifully like any good husband i went to take some pictures and eat some. It was definitely packed as you can see, open till late and full of greasy ingredients but the people here just loves it.
Yes, love the varieties as you can see up here and definitely must have the onion rings and the pink pop. You can find pictures of hollywood stars pasted all over the walls of this hot dog shack.
What do you do when you see this huge crate of sweet potatoes..?? In our family, we make sweet potatoes tempura !! the kid loves it, the wife thinks it is healthy and me – it’s easy enough to peel them off and cut them up and dump them into the deep fryer or better yet put them in the oven and baked them. We watch tv and munched them down. The kid thinks I’m a hero and the wife thinks I am a good father.
LARGE Sweet Potatoes
Vegetable Oil
Tempura Batter for Vegetables, Meat & Fish
Preheat the deep fat fryer to 365 degrees.
Wash the sweet potatoes.
Parboil for about 10 minutes.
Pare the sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2? wide x 1/2? thick strips.
Dip the sweet potato strips into the tempura batter.
Place in skimmer and gently lower into the deep fat fryer.
Remove the sweet potato strips from the hot fat with the skimmer when they
float to the surface and have turned golden brown.
Serve hot.
Found this in the Malaysia supermarket and brought some home. The wife said she grew up eating them and they smell fishy like cuttlefish. Very chewy and a great snack with beer.
I love cakes especially chocolate ones. The wife on the other do not love the cake but she loves buying them and giving them out to the kid’s school for the kids to devor. Halloween, my kid and her school planned some party, so of course, the wife of course had to look out for something more to give to the kids. We bought this for the kids in her class.
The wife is into the pretty thing, she doesn’t really care if it tasted good – haha! But it is pretty good job they did and the kid came home and reported that they enjoyed the cake very much. That’s all that matters right.
