I just get the melon bread imports from my local Japanese supermarket, sometimes the smaller chocolate-chip ones at the bakery next door. Granted, I only ate melon bread twice so I'm sadly not a melon bread expert.
Are the prewrapped Japanese imported supermarket ones supposed to have a sticky, odd tasting center? o_o;; The edges of the cookie crust were pretty nice, but as I got closer to the center of the bread, the cookie crust turned all sticky and weird. Is that normal?
