A nice little tip off from
Liquid Shadow informed me that there was a Hokkaido fair at Isetan along Scotts. I managed to find some time today to finally rush down to get some scallop candy. They were already packing up when I arrived (luckily I walk pretty fast) and I even had to trouble the Japanese dude to unpack some of the boxes so that I could get my stuff.

Apparently they were sold out on the "
grilled and dried" scallops that I'm used to and the only read-to-eat ones were these "soft" scallops. Beggars can't be choosers, so I took a large and small pack. As usual, the Japanese
always excel in the mastery of packaging. There were so many protective layers (outer bag, inner bag, vacuum-packed individual bag) around these scallops that they'll put any family planning agency to shame haha.

This was pretty damn good. Tender, chewy and juicy, it also has a very nice smokey aroma.

Each sinew of scallop flesh was rich in taste. Although this wasn't as salty as the "dried and grilled" version it still made
great beer grub!
