Nestle Bar One chocolates
The chocolates are the weakness of all the cute little children. Same way even my kids love to eat a lot of chocolates. But the brand of the chocolates, which my children love to eat always, is the Nestle bar one chocolates. These yummy chocolates are …
Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins
Although Mrs. Freshley’s Blueberry Muffins definitely contain a richer amount of blueberry flavor than the one-hundred calorie blueberry muffins, the flavor is still not nearly as impressive as the Little Debbie Blueberry Muffins. Whereas the Little Debbie muffins off an explosive degree of blueberry taste that really excite my …
Ferrero Rocher Chocolates
I am not very fond of chocolates, as I have said but I really did enjoy eating Ferrero Rocher, an expensive chocolate brand that my boyfriend gave to my mom. The box of this chocolate was about 2 dozens in it. Each chocolate is wrapped in a gold foil. …

I like foods with very strong flavors …
Oishi Pods Pea Snack
I snack a lot, I am a junkfood addict! But despite that, I managed to keep my weight in good shape. Most women are so paranoid about our figure and I guess I am one of them. But I found this new snack item on the grocery shelves called …
Dillman Farm - All Natural Apple Butter Fruit Spread
Dillman Farm - All Natural Apple Butter Fruit Spread is one of my favorite spreads that really enhances my enjoyment of toast and bagels. This spread is so very rich in its apple flavor and the butter helps with both the thickness of the spread and flavor, too. It …

Pilsbury Pizza Pops are well known as an easy and quick meal solution. Best heated up in the microwave, which enables the inside to cook first and not the shell, which usually burns under the heat of the oven, Pizza Pops are shaped like a half moon and consist …
Ben & Jerry’s Single Size Ice Cream
All types of food come available in various sizes these days, but I had to admit that I was very surprised when Ben & Jerry came out with a single serving size of their ice cream. Each mini-carton is about 3.6 ounces, and each comes with a small …
Cafe Georg’s Old Fashioned Banana Cake
A family friend brought us the Old Fashioned Banana Cake from Café Georg, which is a popular café in Cebu City, Philippines. The banana cake was actually a loaf which was already sliced evenly into slices that were just right; not too thin, not too thick. It …
Tropicana Orange Juice
As I live in Florida, I tend to be spoiled with the real deal: fresh orange juice. With orange trees in abundance, it is simply about picking the oranges off trees and squeezing the oranges for super fresh juice. Even if we didn’t have oranges nearby, we can head …
Bounty candy bar
I grew to like Bounty chocolate bars during my visits to Europe. It is a British product, somewhat like Mounds: coconut-filled bars covered with chocolate. The packaging is different though, Bounty is usually sold as a snickers-sized bar, with two separate, smaller bars inside. Bounty is available with milk …
Pringles Potato Chips

Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips
The Old London Bagel Spicy Cheddar Chips disappointed me quite a bit. I did not find these chips to be particularly spicy or rich with cheddar. I actually felt that these bagel chips were really quite bland and unimpressive. There was not a hint of spiciness in these bagel …
Bernie’s Bites Beer Battered Brat Bites
We decided to have pizza last night and, since I knew it wasn’t going to be something that would last us through our late night movie watching, I decided to pick up something to snack on.

I am a real cheese addict. I have reviewed my favorite roller coaster snack, now I can compare and contrast it with this one. It is produced by Universal Robina while this one is by Regent. They are both made tasty like real cheese. The first major difference is …
Vitakone Tomato Ketchup
It isn’t very easy to find a good ketchup these days and specially if you don’t want to pay a lot of it. Although I must admit that I’ve tried a lot of expensive ones in my life and that most of them weren’t good. Anyway, about a few …

Dog On It
Dog On It is the name of a beverage that I found in our local United Grocery Outlet the last time I went shopping for groceries. I have to admit that the name makes me think of something that appeals more to kids rather than adults. However it is …

Great Value Buttery Smooth Crackers
Great value is the brand made by Wal-mart that is what I like to call the —˜cheaper store brand’ alternative to the name brand products. Depending on what the product is, I usually try my luck and get Great Value’s product. I’ve come across some good, and I’ve come …

I personally love to season my …
Great Value Instant Garlic Butter Potatoes
I love eating mashed potatoes with any meal, however it takes a lot of work to make them. I don’t always have time to boil potatoes, peel them, mash them, and cream them. Sometimes I just need a quick substitute to homemade mashed potatoes. I tried the Great Value …
Mandarin and peach tea with Echinacea, Cedevita
I don’t like Cedevita teas because they aren’t very strong. I mean, you have to put 2 bags 2-3dl cup if you want to feel the taste.

Another one of Cebu City’s (Philippine tourist destination) best is the pastry called OTAP. Many bakeshops and pastry shops have mastered this delicacy, but of course, Shamrock Brand stands out in taste. Shamrock is a much known product in Cebu and even in Manila City. Its product not only …
Safeway Enriched White Bread
I would not recommend trying this bread no matter how inexpensive it may be compared to some of the other brand names. I thought by the looks of it that it would be comparable to like a Weber’s enriched white bread. I was disappointed when I bought …

Snyder Barbecue Potato Chips
I am not a huge fan of potato chips. In fact, I only really eat them if I’m having a sandwich or burger. And even then, I prefer kettle chips to regular ones. They are not as salty and have a nice gritty texture that I …
Char-Broiled Beff Patties
One of my families favorite frozen entr’e’s is the Char-Broiled Beef Patties made by Freezer Queen that cost $1.79 at Wal-Mart. We never used to buy frozen dinners much because they were always more expensive than buying regular meat to cook. However with the price of ground beef …

Mc Donald’s Deluxe Quarter Pounder Sandwich

Chili’s Mango Tea
This is by far the best tasting tea I have ever come across. It is a cross between something light and tropical and a Southern, sugary delight. I find myself going to Chili’s just so I can order their Mango Tea! I have not been able to find it …
