McDonald’s McSkillet Burrito

Il Gelato di San Crispino
Location: The directive of ‘It’s at the Trevi Fountain’ is only half true. The gelateria is actually hidden down a alley a little further away (Via Veneto direction). They also have no signage at the fountain or anywhere else, even the shop barely acknowledges the name, though this makes …
Cafe Direct Mountain Reserve Machu Picchu Instant Coffee

Kellog’s Special K Chocolate Chip cereal bar
Eating cereals is good for your body, but I only like the ones specifically for kids, as the ones for adults usually don’t taste great. To tell you the truth, I only liked the ones specifically for kids until I tried the cereal bars from Kellog’s Special K.
I’m not …
