Khong Guan Iced Gems

Oh my God! I literally haven't had this of years... and I'm just so happy to finally eat it again!


I love the biscuit and those colorful, sweet icing on top! It surely brings back a lot of great childhood memories. Awww... :)


How about you, what's your favorite childhood snack?

My mother used to pack my lunch box for school with iced gems. I eat the biscuit first then set aside the icing. After I am done with the biscuits, I go for the gems and eat them all at the same time since they are so tiny :))

Those were the days!

They look scrumptious, and the way you're going on --- I want some too now!!

It necessarily wasn't my favorite, but I haven't seen them in years [and I'm talking decades here]....what they called Mallow Cups. They're milk chocolate covered cream marshmallow. Oh so smooth and creamy.

Hope your Friday has treated you well.

I still buy this every now and then, it's a perfect office merienda options kasi! Although I did notice medyo iba na yung timpla ng icing nila.

delicious faux ice creams ?

Thanks for sharing!

I knew it, these are gem cookies looking at the picture from Picture Clusters blog. This used to be a favorite when I was a kid. I love the chocolate flavor. There was no icing yet at the time. That's how long ago it was. :)
