O M G!!!! This almost my hand-sized garlic infused/overloaded bread, overfilled/stuffed with smooth & silky cream cheese is a garlic lovers'ultimate dream(or nightmare if you are a garlic hater)! If you love a garlicky garlic bread...hence NOT just an ordinary garlic knot, it's GARLICKY garlic knots(yes, that's right, garlic knots with excess garlic✌🏽), I guarantee you'd savour this like I did. As the name explains, garlic soaked bread encasing cream cheese...you either bite into it while almost "mouth-vacuuming" oozing out cream cheese, or fugettaboutit and just lick all off. Either way, finger licking and then some goodness. ONE is not enough...😈 Whoever came up with an idea of making this, you are genius!

What can I say? Original & the best. Ooey gooey frosting adds up lil notch...this tiny thing is 800 something calories already(yes...), I did not add an extra icing/topping. Perfect with coffee, first thing in the morning✌️

From the top, clockwise: A bag of Shortbread, Candied lemon, Garlic Cream Cheese Bomb, and Street Corn Scone

Found this at a local grocery store, complete impulsive buying turned out to be the best found at the store. Dark chocolate covered heatshaped soft cookie filled with apricot jam, none of the ingredients overpowered anything, bitter dark chocolate & fruity apricot jam are, indeed, nice matching✌🏽 Again, sucks this is a seasonal...

Another version of worldly famous Tokyo Banana pastry cake. Filling was chocolate-banana flavored custard.

My all time favorite bakery in Kaimuki. Everything's made in the premises right in the kitchen behind the counter. From the top, clockwise: Cornbread, Apricot Mini scone, and a lemon bar✌🏽

Filled with whipped bavarian cream, not bad for a guilt-less indulgence...

An upgraded apple pie: apple filling crusted with sponge cake crumbles, wrapped in pie crust, brushed with aplicot jam. This tiny piece absolutely is more than simple apple pie.😋

Wish it was bigger...

The ever popular Tokyo Banana mini pastry, straight from 🇯🇵This is their newest product, filled with honey-banana custard. Sold exclusively at the Haneda airport🇯🇵

Ok, I admit, I absolutely 🤎 🌰 wagashi, cakes, and pastries in general(Mont Blanc, anybody?) but this one was not that. While the 🌰 filling was not bad at all, the filling & flaky puff ratio was not right, either less puff, or more filling. I only tasted more puff, which was a but on the dry-side... Improvement, pleeze...
