The best birthday parcel ever - part 1

Hello!

I will have to say these pictures (things in the pictures) are just absolute eye candy! 

Last month, my long term penfriend Nao Chan messaged me saying that she will be sending off a parcel in few days, so that i know when to expect the parcel. Then about a week later, I received the parcel as expected, but what I didn't expect was the size of the parcel :) it was huge and with great surprise inside!

I literary unboxing the whole parcel with my jaw dropped in amazement! I was extremely happy, it's really hard to describe the joy & happiness at that special moment.

Let me show you all the happy things inside the parcel.


A book featuring essential items of Japanese food, introduction to everyday Japanese meals and customs, plus recipes.

Sweet anko bean paste + artisan stawberry jam + a mini measuring cup

She wanted me to try her favorite aburafu (made by frying gluten in vegetable oil), 
a little similar to Chinese youtiao 油条.
I will use them to cook Aburafu donburi, simply made by simmering the fried wheat gluten in a 
sweet-salty mixture of soy sauce and sugar and then placed upon a bowl of rice and beaten egg.

She is so thoughtful and considerate, even attached a step-by-step collage + guide with cute handwriting + drawing on how to cook aburafu donburi. 
Isn't she so sweet

A pack of pancake mix in a very simple yet cute packaging!

Here's another step-by-step collage with cute handwriting + drawing on how to make delicious fluffy pancakes!

Warabi mochi mix
Warabi mochi is a confection made from the starch of a type of edible fern, this chewy & jelly-like mochi typically eat with coated with kinako (roasted soy bean powder) & drizzle with kuromitsu (black sugar syrup).

 These 2 boxes are donburi seasoning mix, to make donburi rice bowl dishes such as Oyakodon (chicken & egg rice bowl) and Tamagodon (fluffy egg rice bowl).

 Super cute handwritten postcards & letters.
