@Lame: The winners were all chosen by Alan Wong himself, the owner of Hatsune. We had 15 people submit their creations and out of the 15, these were the top rolls created. It’s not about playing favorites, it’s about who came up with the best recipes. Until you try the candy&caviar roll and the lollipop bakery Handroll Trio yourself, I wouldn’t judge…
I havent tried the lollipop roll, but I can only say that the candyandcaviar roll is delicious and now one of my favourite ones!
@Bella: Thank you for your comment! The Lollipop Handroll Trio should be available soon, and even though I should be impartial to all winners, the candy&caviar roll and Maximus Prime roll are def my new favorites!
