Japanese cake - "Marukyo" Funwari Yaki

Like my favourite Japanese anime character Doraemon, the robot cat whose favourite snack is dorayaki, I too, like to eat dorayaki, but only those from the Japanese supermaket, and not those CMI ones from local bakeries.



Some months' back, I discovered a lighter version of the dorayaki that taste even better than dorayaki. It's called "Marukyo" Funwari Yaki and is yellow in colour (like the local kway nerng korh - the fluffy egg cake).

Like the dorayaki, it comes with 2 pieces of Japanese cake wrapped around a layer of red bean paste...very yummy! What I like about the red bean paste is that it's made of those Japanese big, fat red beans, and since it's not 100% mashed up, there are bits of the roundish red bean skin in the paste, giving it a nice texture (很有口感）!

Lovely colours and packaging





Look at the thick, corpus amount of (big) red bean paste... *drools*

It's a pleasant, lovely snack to eat even just before meals, as it's light enough so it won't spoil my dinner.
