Choco Home Run Ball 초코 홈런볼

♥ brought this much Choco Home Run Ball  초코 홈런볼  by Haitai 해태...^^~

Here are the actual contents. Yes, they do look like mini cream puffs.

Based on this picture, you can estimate that one pack this size has about 20-21 chocolate-filled puffs...er... home run balls 홈런볼스?

The puffs have tiny holes were the creamy chocolate filling must have been pumped in. They're not there to achieve a donut or cream puff look, are they? I even read that some Koreans call it a butt hole  똥고. ^o^

Product Name: Home Run Ball...홈런볼... it reads the same way as it's spelled...(homreonbol). I bet you know what a home run ball is... WIN~!


Hole in the Pocket: from ♥... probably not more than PhP 80. But I really  don't know. ^^;


First Impression: The baseball theme is obvious. There's a kid with a baseball bat ready to hit a home run. However, I don't know the connection between cream puffs, chocolate and baseball. But if I were to over think it... maybe it's so delicious, it hits the home run spot of my stomach! I also think the container is a little too spacious for the 20 pcs. or so of puffs which means that you have to finish eating it all or find a sealed container for the leftovers. Or in my case, find a sticky tape or stapler and seal it so tight that no air shall pass!


Taste Buds Say: It's oddly not crunchy, but more like a chewy/aired out cream puff. It actually looks like baby/mini cream puffs. You can just let it melt in your mouth and suck the living chocolate out of it. haha! Kidding aside, it's a really good alternative for chocolate cream puffs. The chocolate is not very sweet and the dough covering tastes like plain cookie (minus the crunch!). For me, eating home run ball 홈런볼 is not very fulfilling because it's not that heavy of a snack. Anyway, I feel the same way about eating cream puffs. 


Reminds me of: Like I said... choco cream puffs.


K-rating: 3/5... I'm not really a fan of cream puff...or baseball.

Acacia Chewing Gum 아카시아 츄잉껌

Acacia Chewing Gum 아카시아 츄잉껌 (Haitai 해태  ) 

Acacia Floral Chewing Gum... How girly is that? ^^*

This pack of gum has 7 sticks, each with a unique illustration, design and message (too lazy to try and translate! Besides, I'm not that good ^^;;)

I love the effort that goes with this gum. I mean, it's my first time to hold a pack of gum that has unique individual wrappers, which matches the product's theme...floral...~

Here's a stick... I'm not sure, but wouldn't a guy feel kinda shy to be holding or eating this oh-so-dainty gum?

Product Name: Acacia Chewing Gum 아카시아 츄잉껌... 'coz it's made of 아카시아 꿀 (Acacia kul). 꿀 means "honey" in Korean but I think it can also mean "sap" or some kind of gum arabic since several species of Acacia produce gum.

Hole in the Pocket:  Php 25.00 per pack at Prince Mart

First Impression: With it's black and purple package, I first thought it was nicotine gum or the kind of gum sold in night clubs or bars... I dunno, but I just thought that. But upon opening the package, it seemed like a sophisticated woman's gum. 

Taste Buds say: I've always had mint or fruit flavored gum... but Acacia floral gum? This first time is a winner. Some people may not appreciate the taste of flowers in their candy, but this gum made me feel like I'm eating sweet-smelling flowers (minus the bitter taste that one can easily associate with..well..uh...eating flowers). And if I were to take inspiration from the illustrations and use a little bit of imagination - I'm a nature goddess chewing on flowers. It's not to sweet nor overwhelming in flavor. It's enough to freshen your mouth after a meal and leave it flowery fresh. ;)

Reminds me of: The scent of Jasmine or the local Sampaguita.

K-rating: 5/5... as flowery as floral can be...~
