WHICH COOKIE DID YOU SEE FIRST?

This is your sign to get the Ube Cookies and Cream cookie. Wait, what’s ube? The sweet purple yam is commonly used in the Philippines, Japan, and more Asian countries in sweet concoctions such as baked goods, dessert drinks and even cocktails. Phoebe grew up in LA with access to the best flavour combination ever that her neighbours made. Don’t knock it till you try it.

WHICH COOKIE DID YOU SEE FIRST?

This is your sign to get the Miso Toffee cookie. The PERFECT bridge between savoury and sweet. These cookies never lasted more than a day on our counter at the Craving Asian shop. Phillip Ho has now created the perfect chunky version after a Hinley’s millionth time asking and Phoebe’s billionth time taste testing (really just enjoying it all). It’s Phil’s zillionth time perfecting toffee.

WHICH COOKIE DID YOU SEE FIRST?

This is your sign to get the Pandan Coconut White Chocolate cookie. Now say that 10x fast. These cookies are the chunky, decadent version of what our in-store pandan baos have inspired. Pandan is the Asian vanilla, holding unique fragrance that is balanced by shredded coconut bits and a generous spread of white chocolate chips. It’s a gift to yourself? We seriously won’t judge.

📣 SEE YOU TONIGHT IN OUSEBURN

*REPOST BY 😍 this is our SPICY MOO MOO (pulled beef brisket in a house bulgogi marinade for that smoky sweet BBQ flavour between layers of FLUFFY FOCACCIA)

If you’re picky, ask us to leave out the pickled red onions, shredded lettuce, mayo, or the side of marinated cucumbers. Trust us when we say these components bring the balance but also respectfully, we can cater to your chicken nugget tastebuds :)

“Stare lovingly at the pineapple bao.”

This is sort of a family photo of us. Who are we? A trio of friends who came together to bring some ASIAN FUSION flavour to the game.

Phoebe, probably the one who usually greets you.

Hinley, just cares about the way he looks to you.

Phillip, doesn’t care unless the weird order is you.

It’s all about you and us babyyyyy. Now we’re flirting.
Try something sweet or savoury from us. We’ve got crazy decker focaccia sandwiches, French toast, baked bao buns, and more.

DAMN GOOD.

After whispering nice things in aka Jeff, aka Phil’s ear for the past few months…HE SAID YES TO RELAUNCHING HIS MOCHI COOKIES! (previously known as CooCookies)

Crumbly, Buttery Cookie
Chewy, Stretchy Mochi
Asian Flavours

So much attention to detail must go into every single one of these lil babies. As we say it in Cantonese, these are 食心機 (s*k sam gay) which loosely translates to “eating for the effort”.

Mochi Cookies are time consuming to make and must be eaten within 2-3 days of baking for the best taste and texture, therefore we will only do limited drops of these at this moment in time.

If you didn’t manage to bag yourself a box, FEAR NOT! We will have more drops coming! Stay tuned for that! (We have a email list on our current website that will notify you about it 👀) link in bio.

*ANNOUNCEMENT* 📣 TWO THINGS if you haven’t seen from our stories…

🔥 COMING IN HOT is Hinley’s Chilli Crisp available in 200ml jars for you to take home and enjoy on anything. Watch out for our new series on how we like to use it if it’s any inspiration! The same good stuff that goes on our spicy focaccia. Oh and also it’s made by Phillip 😂.

*NEW DESSERT ALERT* The legendary Phillip ( ) is back again with MOCHI COOKIES! 🍪 If you haven’t tried his creations before, you were missing out. 🍀 LUCKY FOR YOU it’s coming back and will be available on our website to PRE-ORDER. We will be extending this to NATIONWIDE delivery so friends beyond Newcastle 👀 we’re looking at you…

✨www.cravingasian.co.uk/shop✨

⏰ ORDER BY JUNE 2ND for your order to be sent out by JUNE 5TH (for both mochi cookies and/or chilli crisp jars)
