Gaufres by Fugetsu Do

About the food:

One time, I was at the Greenhills area, looking to try new food and new stuff on display at stores. I visited Tokyo Konbini Market along Connecticut Street in Greenhills and saw an attractive although expensive package.

I asked the saleslady about the lovely box and she said that it was one of their bestsellers and that only a few boxes were being displayed and almost all the time, they were quickly sold out.

I was intrigued by the contents and so I decided to buy one it give it a try.

Inside was a beautiful tin box.

In these boxes, are nine large thin pieces of gaufres. Simply put, gaufres are like paper thin waffles with cream inside them.

Each piece were larger than my hand could hold. Every bite had to be savored as well. Those nine pieces were separately packaged into 3 sets of 3. Each set of 3 had an assortment of flavors and each flavor was exquisite. This is a luxury treat that must be eaten slowly.

To best appreciate this expensive pastry, its best to consume when you're almost full and not hungry. That way, you will savor every bite and not end up comparing them with the cheap pastries you can buy in supermarkets.



Where to buy and how much:

These are sold locally only at Tokyo Konbini Market along Connecticut St. The box costs PHP1,000.00. They're quite expensive but so do all authentic Japanese products made in Japan.


Ratings (updated):

Presentation: Great!

It comes in a beautiful can and wrapped box. Perfect for giving as a gift (to yourself or someone else)

Ambience: Tokyo Konbini resembles a small grocery store and on the sides are a small dining area (for those ordering ramen) and grill area.


Quality: Great!

The admirable thing about Japanese products is their dedication to superior quality.

Serving: Average

Let's face it, you can't get it all. For PHP1,000.00 you get only nine pieces. But these nine pieces are of great quality.  If you're interested more with quantity, best go with something else.

Price: Average

If you want to taste great products, you should be willing to pay for a modest premium.

Conclusion:

If you're looking to taste the best pastries, try this one for size.
