I have to agree with you with your review. When I went to Japan, I wanted to love the ice cream cones at the market, but it didn't have the same taste as fresh soft serve. And for steamed buns, they just aren't for me. I think you would have to grow up with them.
We Filipinos have cheese in/on some of our desserts. On our sweet bread rolls called ensaymada, we use cheddar cheese...and in our ice cream, we use Pina brand cheese which comes in a red ball and Is a Dutch cheese called Edam.
I think you need to take those melted cones back! If you have a Trader Joe's nearby they have mini ice cream cones and I like them a lot. Such cute buns!
cheese is a very popular flavor in the Philippines!! It's one of my fave flavors! If you can find Magnolia brand anywhere near you, that's what I always had as a kid ❤
All of these products would be SOO much fun for a sleepover party for kids. As an adult, I would love them as well, but I think kids would really enjoy them.
@nicanonymus2491 Pretty similar to how Emmy described them. The ones I had were filled with the red bean paste instead of the custard like hers. The dough is really squishy, but pretty plain. I think I'll only buy them again for how cute they are!
Hi Emmy- they are stinkin cute 🐷 omg the fruits are just as cute. What a fun haul/ sorry about the mini cones. You make Thursdays and Saturdays so special!!!!
I think you should make bow with say strawberry jelly paste or like a pbj bao yas and like actual strawberry bao and so many different real nice flavors of bow bao? you know what I mean
You should try out the Van Leeuwen ice creams! They're a french style ice cream so it's much more custard-y with more egg yolks in the recipe, but the flavors are the real stars of the show. The Earl Grey Tea flavor is my favorite, but they have some other unique ones like Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin, Buttermilk Berry Cornbread, Honeycomb, and more! The pints should be at most grocery stores, but you can buy them online too! Very thick, indulgent, and packed with flavor! You would love them! 🍨
The ice cream macaron is great if you pick a good flavor. If you’ve never had one it’s definitely worth a try. Not everyone will like them. I’ve seen a variety of them at Whole Foods.
The mangosteen one looks like it had a spongebob flower on top.... I love it. And while I love matcha ice cream my favorite flavor of soft serve is black sesame and it's hard to find in the US.
We get the chocolate and vanilla mini soft cones in SCal from the local Korean mart. My teen loves them! He prefers soft serve over ice cream. They are pretty decent for frozen
The buns looks adorable but I feel like they missed a trick by not filling them with exciting, flavoursome ingredients! Very much style over substance.
Ugh, I felt the disappointment in the mini-cones, I would have been bummed too with the condition they're in. Those steamed buns are so adorable though, it's too bad they're so bland.
Omg I used to watch your slime videos as a kid on repeat for no reason-- might be from your comforting voice or beautiful slimes but I was shocked when I saw your video pop up on my home! Can't believe it's been almost 10 years..
I live in NYC, and the piggy steamed buns are my kid's favorite when we get dimsum. Piggy custard is the highlight of his dimsum experience, whereas I'm totally there for the chicken feet, the boneless duck feet, and the duck tongue. Yesh...I'm the weird Gweilo...lol. They literally chuckle every time I point to what I want. A few of my regular favorite spots already know me and come right over.
Rechargeable products definitely have a shelf life. We have had to replace our vacuum and dust buster so mini vacuum a few times because the stupid rechargeable batteries died.
The refrozen ones migth be lazy custumer leave them out becouse change their minds. Sometimes other custumers find it before staff and instead tell them so they acculy cam check temperatur they pat their heads put it back in freazer and then this happen.
I just got back from Mitsuwa. They had the soft serve cones and I was tempted to buy it but I figured they would melt before I got home. Glad I didn't. BTW: The best matcha ice cream I've had outside of Japan is in Kapaa at a small shop called Matchaya. Amazing!
Oh my gosh! Does Emmy have someone that helps her record her videos?? That just blew my mind! I always thought she was a one woman show! I’m so glad she has help!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🥰 As far as the mini cones? I'd return them to the store, you bought them to rate them on your show. They need to look good to start with. ❤❤
Emmy: if your Drumstick cone had that weird rubbery texture, it was stale/freezer burnt. They should very much be crunchy. I'm guessing that one is, too.
It's so disappointing when you open an ice cream and it's been melted & re-frozen and is a disgusting mess, I hate it when that happens, especially on hot days when you really want something to cool off with... :(
To be honest.. that's been my experience with those types of bao as well. I kind of wish for something more unconventional like maybe chicken or pork in the animal baos (or even like a Bamboo in the occasional panda ones), or even like a fruit or jam mixed in with the fruit ones, but it's almost always just a regular bean paste or egg custard.
Hi Emmy, I live in RI and my favorite matcha ice cream is the honeycomb matcha from the ice cream barn in Swansea. It’s sooo delish and they source local ingredients as much as possible. Hope you try it! 😊
Recently saw a "Jolly" episode on YT where they ate at a restaurant in London that had just earned its first Michelin star and they served a classy version of a pork "slider" served in a piggy bao bun.
The problem with grocery store ice cream novelties is that most of them aren't insulated enough to guard against melting during a freezer's defrosting cycle. If you want novelties that tasted freshly made or very close to it, you'll need to either find an ice cream shop that sells them, making sure to pack them in dry ice for the trip home, or pay a premium for an ice cream delivery service like Schwan's. (Don't worry if you've never heard of the company, they're based out of Marshall, Minnesota.)
Definitely get your money back for those cones... That's a grocery store issue, either they were left out too long before being stocked or the freezer busted or went down during a power outage
Emmy please check out the Hudson valley seed company for organic seeds! I know you keep a big garden and you’d love the seeds. My husband is the farm manager so I can attest to the quality and variety AND beauty of the art packs. I hope you love them!
The macaron ice cream…. HUGE in San Diego. Fantastic almost always.
The product ships surprising well! The ice cream is just as important as the macarons though.
Really, really good. 😋
@@ImTasty1978 macaron, not macaroon ... they're totally different things
I am aware, Jim. Thanks though.😊
Happy dear.
Those little buns look amazing to me! I find bao, red bean paste and ube to be delicious!
The end - "hehehe I don't know what I'm doing" 😂😂 Me, every day of my life
The buns were all so cute, would be great for children for snacks or lunches.
would be perfect for bento boxes!

Even when Emmy is DISAPPOINTED, she SOMEHOW STILL makes it sound A-O-K🤣😆👍. You are a national TREASURE my Dear!🤩 ❤️💕
Haven't even finished the video yet but oh my goodness the buns are ADORABLE! Wonderful content as always. Thank you!
Sometimes, I miss living in Japan, where food and creativity mingle so freely. Love this episode, EmmySan.
That’s such a pretty way of putting it!
Same! I miss Japan a lot. The food and variety is amazing!
Why did you move away?
@@CEspinal-i6u My father was stationed there in the military; I grew up in Japan and England, mostly.
Japan is so far ahead of us especially with technology
Yep dropping everything and watching this right now
I just watch it on my phone and do what I’m going to do. --sarcasm
I’m at urgent care abs did the same thing😂
We need a "so cute" counter for this vid 😆
Everything was SO CUTE 💖💖💖
idk about anyone else, but emmy is the only youtuber whose videos i watch all the way through every single time
We Filipinos have cheese in/on some of our desserts. On our sweet bread rolls called ensaymada, we use cheddar cheese...and in our ice cream, we use Pina brand cheese which comes in a red ball and Is a Dutch cheese called Edam.
Häagen-Dazs still makes a green tea ice cream, but it's hard to find.

Wheeeee I’m here for you Emmy! You’re my fave… I can’t believe you’re almost to 3M!!!! When I subscribed you had 300k lol
How do you remember how many subscribers she had when you subscribed? I can’t remember, I just know it was long ago lol
The bunny bun looks like a walrus when it's upside down!
Freaked me out with 0:24 the magical teleporting cup thing.
All of these products would be SOO much fun for a sleepover party for kids. As an adult, I would love them as well, but I think kids would really enjoy them.
I like the little crooked bear 😂
A local boba shop I love were selling those little piggy buns and they are super adorable! Of course I bought them immediately once I saw them 😅
How do they taste?
@nicanonymus2491 Pretty similar to how Emmy described them. The ones I had were filled with the red bean paste instead of the custard like hers. The dough is really squishy, but pretty plain. I think I'll only buy them again for how cute they are!
@@graciegregg7276 A lot of places serve them with sweetened condensed milk to dip them in & that makes them more sweet & tasty.
I saw the bunny bun upside down at first...... and I thought that it was a WALRUS!!!!!!!!!! 😅😆
😂😂😂
Hi Emmy- they are stinkin cute 🐷 omg the fruits are just as cute. What a fun haul/ sorry about the mini cones.
You make Thursdays and Saturdays so special!!!!
Those clear lids on the ice creams would make great single plant cloches for the garden!
The ice on the outside of the ice cream indicates freezer burn. They'll take them back. I think I would like to try the buns.
I think you should make bow with say strawberry jelly paste or like a pbj bao yas and like actual strawberry bao and so many different real nice flavors of bow bao? you know what I mean
my local target carries the matcha häggen-daz. maybe you can find it at your local target
I have a 3 year old brother who is always asking for piggy buns (and some newly found animals) from T&T. They can be very cute
I think I have watched too many of your videos; I have taken to saying "How stinking cute is that?" LOL!!
Can you return those mini cones? The buns are adorable though!

The bounciness of the buns is so satisfying 😅
Is it just me the sound is going weird for?? Emmy sounds like she's needing an exorcist at some points 🫨🫨🫨
She mentioned that her audio battery was dying.
@@Eskapismus yes I heard that a bit later on but totally forgot to come and edit my comment 🤣
It’s always a good day when watching Emmy❤
I love the "it's not you, it's me" convo with the buns at the end 😂
14:24 similar to cheesecake ?
I thought the bunnies were walruses
The mangosteen one looks like it had a spongebob flower on top.... I love it. And while I love matcha ice cream my favorite flavor of soft serve is black sesame and it's hard to find in the US.
I saw a walrus, not a bunny

I wonder if you can add something to the buns to improve them. A spread or jam or syrup of some kind 🤔
1:50 Emmy what happened to your voice!!
Ugh, I felt the disappointment in the mini-cones, I would have been bummed too with the condition they're in. Those steamed buns are so adorable though, it's too bad they're so bland.

I like when you taste test items from the store. 😆
Sorry those buns were disappointing.
They were cute though!😊

That hagen dasz green tea ice cream -- i live in montreal and grocery stores carry it here! it so good, rich and creamy with that matcha tang
Rechargeable products definitely have a shelf life. We have had to replace our vacuum and dust buster so mini vacuum a few times because the stupid rechargeable batteries died.
So frustrating!🪫
I absolutely had to watch this because I knew Emmy would exclaim, "so stinkin' cute!" ❤
I thought you shopped at Good Fortune after I saw your self heating hot pot meals there! 😄😄 I love their premade buns!
Ive never been told to look at something in such an urgent manner.
Maybe not that tasty but so stinkin' cute!

Where does she say? 🤔🤔
@@sultanhusnoo8552 I thought I heard someone telling her that her sound wasn’t working! I could have been hearing things! 😂

Haagen-Dazs still makes the green tea ice cream! We can find it in Ohio in Giant Eagle

They still make that matcha ice cream!!!
I kept waiting for you to make piggy noises when you were squishing the piggy bao! So cute!
Elmyra Duff lives! Cutest little foods ever ❤ Thanks, Emmy.
Thanks for your Good Fortune shout out! So grateful for such a terrific market nearby.
I will look out for the Macarons.
The chickens feast tonight!

Haagen Daz still makes matcha, but it has been harder to find over the years. At least where I live in the South.
I love your descriptions ❤ it’s so spot on!
1:51 that scared me lol
I heard it, too! 😂😂😂
How stinkin cute is Emmy? Love her ❤
Hi Emmy, I live in RI and my favorite matcha ice cream is the honeycomb matcha from the ice cream barn in Swansea. It’s sooo delish and they source local ingredients as much as possible. Hope you try it! 😊
The bao are really cute! It's too bad the fruit-shaped ones weren't filled with apple or strawberry; that might have helped the flavor.
Those steam buns are so cute and being not sweet is a bonus for me. I don't like when they are sweet!
Recently saw a "Jolly" episode on YT where they ate at a restaurant in London that had just earned its first Michelin star and they served a classy version of a pork "slider" served in a piggy bao bun.
they clearly earned that star, that's awesome
The packaging looks so cute and childish. Amazing.
I bet kids love them.
Could you recreate the buns with a more tasty filling? I think your version would be amazing

the bear buns omg!!!! i have such a great need 🐻🐻
hahahaha 🧸

Yay new vid🎉
The buns would taste better with some sauce to dip them in.
Oh my, I haven't seen those cones since I left Korea!
Love Emmys videos 📹 😍 always cheers me up. 😊
Cute cute cute!
@SECOND 25-26 THE MUG MOVES FROM SHELF TO COUNTER ! LOL
I want to EAT IT ALL! Thank you for doing so for us, Emmy
They still make gsgrn daz matcha ice cream it’s at my target
If only all food could be cute 😍
19:16 the plate looks like a crime scene (jokingly)
My teeth hurt watching you chomp straight through frozen items 🫠
Ah, Emmy even has the cute music playing too 🎶

❤ I love watching your videos. Please keep being lovely
I still miss United Noodles in the Twin Cities. Nothing really like it near me in Virginia.
Yeah I've had soft serve in cone in Japan from freezer. I rather have fresh.
I don't know what's more cute the snacks or you😄
Wow! So adorable!!!
