Splurged $11 on two of these babies at the Japan Fair currently happening at the Takashimaya food hall, and regretted none of it.

Hand-rolled on the spot by a Japanese master at the counter, each pretty pink orb entails delicate, powdered skin that gives way to a velvety cocoon of red bean paste in which an immensely juicy Japanese strawberry snuggles. In one expectant bite, I got a burst of sweet and tart that had my face all puckered up in pleasure ☺️ – if you've eaten enough times with me, you'd know what I'm talking about!

The fair is on until 20 November. Nobody better stand in my way of laying my hands (and sinking my teeth) on more of these precious darlings.
