This year, instead of getting one big birthday cake, I asked to go to Thierry Chocolates instead to get a couple treats.

Way back during my high school years, there was a huge store in Richmond that sold Japanese snack and candy. It was heaven as I was a huge Japanese fanatic back then. I remember this store had loads of funky Japanese goodies you wouldn’t find anywhere else. One of the finds from that place was […]
