Sorry to hear that, but it's no big surprise when you are treated with it every day ^^;<BR/><BR/>Meronpan is quite similar to it, but has a harder "built-in" crust and is sweeter (I think).<BR/><BR/>@ Lightning Sabre:<BR/>Nice! Just beware of the fact that they are a little high in calorie~<BR/><BR/>Although I haven't watched Yakitate Japan, I did read that it is explained that the bread and the cookie dough bake at different rate, which is why the inside is still soft. Pretty interesting stuff.<BR/><BR/>@ meronpan:<BR/>lol you are heavily influenced by anime. I admit that I start trying out meronpan in Japan only because of Shana :P<BR/><BR/>How nice it is to have a Japanese grocery in your area! I did remember seeing a Japanese bakery in Hong Kong once (Yamazaki Bakery), but forgot whether they sold meronpan or not...<BR/><BR/>@ Orange:<BR/>Pineapple buns are much more accessible to me back home too!<BR/><BR/>@ fudoushin:<BR/><I>*whispers quietly*</I> Yea pineapple buns are pretty high in fat and chlolesterol... ^^;;<BR/><BR/>And wow what kind of meronpan you've had back then? Maybe you should give it another chance one day. :o<BR/><BR/>@ Blowfish:<BR/>Pineapple bun should be more accessible in Chinese communities/area. Given that there's a fairly large Japanese community in Düsseldorf, I guess there will be something similar for Chinese stuff as well?<BR/><BR/>@ suki:<BR/>Making one sounds nice! I'm sure there are a lot of good recipes out there on the Internet~<BR/><BR/>@ gndynames:<BR/>I too haven't seen a meronpan with my own eyes until I went to Japan.<BR/><BR/>Hahaha what you said about the pineapple buns disappearing the next day is very similar to what it was like when my cousins came over from America. We just didn't stop eating until there's none!<BR/><BR/>@ Apt-1B:<BR/>lol at least she won't steal your meronpan secretly while you're away :P<BR/><BR/>You should try a pineapple bun too one day!<BR/><BR/>@ Koshiko:<BR/>lol could be a meronpan trend going on recently in the blogosphere...<BR/><BR/>How nice that you've got meronpan in your area too! I've yet to see one myself outside Japan ._.<BR/><BR/>Just like how meronpan doesn't taste like melon, a pineapple bun doesn't taste like pineapple either ^^;.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369771267899546737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856293244916346338.post-53159864546261408292008-11-18T07:14:00.000+08:002008-11-18T07:14:00.000+08:00I'm seeing a few melon-pan posts recently lol~I wr...I'm seeing a few melon-pan posts recently lol~<BR/><BR/>I wrote about the melon-pan my brother and I found in the city, we've been to the store before but they never had it available when we'd visit... maybe it was something new?

They're quite cheap and easy on-the-go fillers. They taste "good" but kinda bland to me. This bun is also one of the most unhealthiest food one can eat xD.<BR/><BR/>As for Melonpan... tried it once, and swear I'll never buy it again. At least from that Brand I had. Sadly, I have no way of buying fresh ones. I could get 3 bo lo bao for the price of one similar sized melonpan. Both are disastrously unhealthy though xD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856293244916346338.post-78032288796088336922008-11-16T13:39:00.000+08:002008-11-16T13:39:00.000+08:00I've had both, and I like them both equally.
