I have two more foods to review from the T&T, my favorite Asian grocery story. First, are a Taiwanese sweet biscuit that I got on sale one day. They have some sort of malt sugar gooy filling.

| About 3 inches across . . . |
The pastry part is really really flaky, like crazy flaky and not very sweet at all. The inside is pleasantly sweet, but not too sweet considering it is a sugar syrup.
 |
| It is in a bowl to contain the extreme flakiness |
Overall, it was pleasant, but not amazing. Probably wouldn't buy again unless it was on super sale again. The box is kind of cool though.

| Look Handles! |

| All ready to go! |
I also got some Nutitious Pumpkin cerel by Vitamax on sale at the T&T. Note that its in a cup, this is imporant as its more of a warm cereal breakfast drink than you know warm cereal. The package spends a lot of time telling me how good the product is for me and it could possibly be true. I love pumpkin so I gave it a try.

| Look its easy! |
I started with a bowl as shown here though that proved to be a silly idea. So, the instruction say to add about 2/3 of a cup of hot water to the instant cereal, which already has powered cream etc in it to make it a ready to go breakfast goody. I microwaved the water and poured it in. I let it sit for a bit and gave it a good stir and realized it really should be in a cup as the instructions say.

| Cup of "cereal" |
I used all the water than was recommended, but when I use the next packet I may cut back on the water. I will also probably make sure its at a good boil with my kettle.
In the end the taste was nice. Good amount of sweetness not quit enough pumpkin. Next time I may add some cinnamon to make it pop a bit.
The texture was really really strange. I'm not sure if this was because my water wasn't quite hot enough or if its because I used too much water. But, it was super thin and had chunks. Weird.
Overall, not great, but I'll be able to finish the package.
