@ilovermonteats: Yes, Yakult is a probiotic.

Although Yakult has a high sugar concentration, given it small bottle size (65 ml), it only has 11 grams of sugar per serving, which is less than the amount of sugar in most yogurts (except plain yogurts or those with sweeteners).

Yakult was one of my favorite beverages during my childhood (in Hong Kong), and I think I used to drink 1-2 bottles a day. It has a very refreshing taste, especially when it's icy cold. I also remember collecting those little foil lids in exchange for some promotional items...forgot what they were since it's ages ago. I think the color of the print on the bottle and the lids come in red or green, but I've only seen red ones here in the US. Oh my goodness, the above photo alone is enough to bring back very fond childhood memories...
Thank you for the post, Grace, even though I'm not on your side :)

My first encounter with Indian cuisine was about 7 years ago when my former co-workers took me to an Indian buffet restaurant...I've been in love with Indian cuisine ever since :)

Desserts from differently kind of cuisines.

Being a chocoholic, I'd have to say it's the movie chocolat...not any scene in particular...but just the thought of being surrounded by the sight and aroma of this heavenly dessert, and also the presence of the charismatic Johnny Depp is enough to make me drool.

Back to the basic...simply a gigantic piece of delectable dark chocolate.

Chocolate souffle cupcakes I got from Kyotofu!

Dark chocolate, hands down!

I love dark chocolate, especially those Valrhona Guanaja 70% feves.

How do I indulge in chocolate? Hohoho, it could be complicated as preparing a chocolate souffle (it's actually not that difficult), or as simple as popping the feves in my mouth, or anything in between, such as making chocolate-dipped strawberries.

I got both the regular kind and the dark chocolate version (blue box) at Mitsuwa today. I found the milk choclate ones a bit too sweet for my Valrhona Guanaja-spoiled palate. The dark chocolate ones, however, are very good (even the biscuit stems are chocolate-coated).
