Packaging...

What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you see this pack?

 

A friend thought it is a pack of condoms…I think it looks like a pack of facial oil blotters. Even though the packaging is befuddling, I still like it as it is pocketbook-friendly; flat& lightweight!

Talking about packaging, another friend just emailed me some pics of European shopping bags and here are 3 which are related to F&B:

Durian Dodol

If you love durian and ‘kueh-kueh’ stuff, then most probably you will enjoy savoring this local product from Tan Kim Hock, Malacca. The Durian Dodol may look gooey but the mouthfeel is firm and it doesn’t stick to your teeth. Each mouthful is teeming with the beguiling aroma and taste of fresh durians; you can also detect distinct notes of Gula Melaka integrating harmoniously into the durian dodol. “The Famous Malaysian Cake” vanishes within minutes once it is served on our dining table, no kidding! (RM5.90 per pack)

Fish Ball vs Chicken Rice Ball

 

Can you tell which is which? Both look so identical. (The left side is a bowl of fish ball soup and the other, a plate of the famous chicken rice balls.)
