Flower’s Kiss Candy
This Flower’s Kiss Candy really has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Because the flower designs on the candy are pretty, lovely, charming, and a bunch of other girly adjectives you can name.
I’m showing only six of the candies here, but one bag contains the candy in many different flower designs.
This hard candy is delicately sweet. If you’re familiar with the flavor of lychee fruit, that’s how this candy tastes.
I think the candy would make a great bridal shower favor. (I’m not the only one with several of these types of pouches from showers attended years ago, am I? I still have yet to use the candle this one originally held. I’m a bad bridal-shower-attender, I know.)
I have to thank reader Lian for reminding me of this candy. Otherwise, I may have kept passing it by, and that would have been a shame.
Edit: Here are some more photos of the flower designs:
Wow the packaging is pretty.
These look delicious! + What a great idea!
Katep: It truly is.
Juju: The candy is attractive to begin with, so that helps.
Ooooh! So pretty! Not to be demanding (don’t ya love it when someone prefaces questions that way?) but what other flavors come in the pack? Can we see more photos of the candies? I’ll have to keep my eye out for these. I wish I had taken more photos of the all the cool goodies I found while in Borneo so I could share but I got all distracted running through the forest.
*Gasp* YAY!! I’m so glad you made an entry on it and so pleased that you mentioned me! I love the variety of pretty flower pictures even though all the candies are the same flavor. It gets you to eat more! (Secret strategy).
Pademelon: This candy comes in only one flavor (as Lian mentioned). Maybe it’s because I’ve been eating a lot of fresh lychees lately—’tis the season, after all—but I do think the candy tastes like the fruit. I know some others think it has a plum flavor. I will take photos of some of the other flower designs sometime this week, then update this post with those photos.
And Borneo? Running through the forest? Where’s your blog?!
Lian: I do really appreciate suggestions on what’s good and bad. Thank you again for this one and others you’ve made.
Lychees are so tasty! Thanks for taking more pictures. The candy is just so pretty.
My life doesn’t normally contain much worth blogging about (nor am I witty enough to blog about it anyway) but I got very lucky to get into a 2 week field course through my university (I’m majoring in Zoology and Marine Biology). Only 25 students a year get accepted and it’s two weeks spent in the middle of pristine lowland forest minus the 2 days it took to get to the field center each way. We got in trouble for running after elephants, from which our professors learned it was a bad idea to throw 25 Zoology students in a bus, unsupervised, prior to the safety induction and drive them through 3 hours of forest. We should have known better because they’re freaking elephants but we weren’t thinking (clearly). So worth it. Between that and seeing orangutans in the wild, I forgot to take pictures of all the crazy snacks we were eating. There were some really interesting ones too.
I’m so happy to see Flower’s Kiss featured! It was a favorite of my mom’s and I love it too. Some of my friends think it tastes like peaches. It was hard to get here in North Central Florida for years.
Sadly, there isn’t too much variety in Asian products in the East Coast area where I live. Much worse, there are only a handful of Asian people and no part-Asians (sigh). I’d love to live somewhere with more ethnic diversity. I feel sort of ‘homesick’ if you know what I mean.
BTW, have you ever run across prepared seaweed that comes in small strips and packed like chewing gum? It was a little vinegary, covered in a semi sweet white powder and chewy. I used to love it as a kid but can’t remember the name or seem to find it.
Love your blog!
Pademelon: Oh, I think you’re plenty witty just from reading a few of your comments.
(My life isn’t normally very interesting, either, hence the reason I don’t talk much about it.) The field course sounds pretty interesting and cool, in terms of food and sights!
Karen: I think I have seen prepared seaweed packed like chewing gum, but haven’t tried it. If anyone reading this happens to know the name or brand of the item Karen is talking about, please feel free to chime in.
It’s amazing how many flowers come in the pack! I can see what Lian means by the secret strategy to get you to eat more. I’d be all, “Ooh! Pretty! I wonder what other flowers are in the bag.” *pours bag out to look at all the pretty* “Well…since they’re out…CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!” and then there would no more candy.
Pademelon: WIWAAAMT ;-), I looked at several bags of this candy and saw so many different flower designs; it was crazy and awesome how many I saw. I wonder how many different ones there actually are.
I’ve been looking for the web for my research on this subject field. I’m so thankful what you shared adds a new attribute to the data I’m compiling. I truly appreciate the way which you look at this subject, it extend to me a different way of seeing at it now. Thanks for the share.
Good Morning i read your website frequently and thought i would say all the best for the New Year!
