We've looked at some of Asia's fattiest, most addictive foods, but now take a quick photo tour (click the image above) through some of Asia's most decadent desserts -- deep fried, doused with sugar and drenched in syrup or condensed milk. These sweet treats should come with a coupon for bypass surgery.

 

La Carmina writes about Harajuku pop culture and all things spooky-cute. She is the author of three books about Japanese pop culture and food, including "Cute Yummy Time" and "Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo" -- for which she did all the photos and illustrations. Both books were released in October, accompanied by a U.S. major city book tour.
