The Philippines is a tropical country. The weather here is very unpredictable. There are times that during summer, the rain falls heavily. There are also times that a when a typhoon hits the city, the sun shines brightly. That I can say is “only in the Philippines”.
One of …

I bought a bag of Magic Noodles from a craft store in hopes of entertaining my 4-year-old niece for a while. To my surprise, that bag of noodles not only entertained her, but also entertained her 11-year-old brother, plus three neighborhood friends ages 8,6 and 5! My 11-year-old nephew …

I love the zesty zing of this pulp-free product. I always drink it when I have a cold because I believe it gives the best burst of Vitamin C. I’ve actually discovered that if I drink it when I feel a sore throat coming on that it reduces …

Great Value: BBQ Flavored Potato Chips are not that great. They certainly are not as flavorful or enjoyable as the ripple cut potato chips. By that, I mean the salt flavor offered by the ripple cut potato chips is stronger than the barbecue flavor offered by these BBQ potato …

I am relatively pleased with the flavor offered by Mrs. Freshley’s Round Cheese Danish. I like creme cheese, and this danish has a pretty good flavor when it comes to the creme cheese filling. I do wish though that there was not such a sweet, icing drizzle placed on …

As a product of Jamaica, the company label Honey Bun which produces the ‘microwave me’ Cinnamon Roll did a very good job, but to me, it was a little too late as I discovered the microwave method long before they have placed it on their label. LOL. But as …

If you have ever had the Roasted Vegetable Ritz Crackers from Nabisco, well then, you already know what these crackers taste like because they are pretty much the exact same thing in terms of taste, size and shape, only sold under a brand that’s not carried in regular supermarkets, …

On a rainy day there is nothing like sipping on a hot cup of Masala Chai (Indian Spiced Tea) with some savory snacks like Samosas (Vegetable stuffed fried snack) or Pakoras (spicy fritters). It is the most awesome feeling.
Making a Masala Chai from scratch requires the right amount …

I’ve been trying to introduce different types of superfoods into my diet, but I’m not the kind of person who would eat something that tastes like s*** just because it’s heathy and supposedly good for me. I believe that you just need to find the foods that you like and …

My wife picked up some Roma pizzas yesterday because they were on sale; 6 for $10. I have to say, they weren’t worth the money.
I have had Roma pizzas in the past and remember liking them. But, after trying them again last night, I can’t remember why I did.
For …

Having impressed with some other products of Fast Fixin I bought their beef patties. For five dollars the number of patties that are coming in a single packet is very economic. There were a dozen of them inside. But this value for money is perhaps only thing I liked …

At first, I was skeptical of Total 100% Whole Grain Cereal but I saw it on a television commercial and was impressed with the claim of providing 100% daily value of 12 vitamins and minerals. I found it on sale at my local Kroger for $2.89 and …

This soup has become a family favourite, which is a bit surprising as I had imagined a soup made of lentils to be rather bland and boring. We first discovered it when we were looking for a pure soup for our young daughter which contained no artificial ingredients. …

Arizona is a company that mostly makes beverages in a variety of flavors. In this review I will be focusing on the Peach flavored ice tea that they have on offer. I am not sure if this a newly produced drink by them that they introduced just this year …

As much as I enjoy ice cold fruit treats and although I really like strawberries, these frozen sliced strawberries sold at ALDI didn’t impress me very much. They weren’t all that sweet, and that’s how I like to enjoy strawberries. There was some sweetness to these strawberries, but it …

As a beginner cook (such as myself), preparing meals seven days a week can be a complex task even when I have all of the ingredients for a particular recipe. In order to give myself a day off from the task of cooking, I decided to start a “free …

Quite unfortunately, there is nothing really all that supreme about Stouffer’s Italian-Style Supreme Stromboli. Two of the most disappointing aspects of this Stromboli are the sausage and the pepperoni. Now first, let me say that I can indeed taste both, however, the flavor of both the sausage and the …

As I mentioned in a previous review, my favourite types and brands of chocolates and sweets are those that I do not think are sickeningly sweet. This, a part from the price of it, was one of the things that attracted me to buying “Lucky Choco Chocolates”. These are …

Jelly Belly Halloween Gummy Teeth Candy is a treat that I mildly enjoyed, although it is quite unlikely that I will purchase it again come next Halloween season. I realize that these treats are supposed to be gummy, but I did not think that they would be gummy to …

Possibly the best cookies from Mulino bianco, the line of baked goods made by Barilla, the famous Italian company —“ and that’s saying something¨!
True to their name, these “September cookies” contain a surprisingly high amount of delicious, moist and not overly sweet fig filling, sitting at the heart of a …

It is nice for a change to see Little Debbie put out a seasonal snack that is not a carbon copy of a snack that is a part of their year-round line simply with food coloring and a different shape. These snacks come in the form of bars that …

I have been to numerous McDonald’s branches, from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and many more but I could not find anything close to our homegrown choices. I had tried eating at Singapore when I happen to stop by a mall and the nearest fast food was McDonald’s. It is …

After hearing so many good things about 5-hour Energy drink, I thought I would give it a try for myself.
The first things advertised are an hour five to be exact of energy without having a crash, this drink is sugar free, and only has four calories.
I bought …

Popcorn is our all time favorite finger food. We choose it as our companion when we watch movie or simply when we watch TV. I myself love this food. I bought popcorn from a famous brand in the United States. It is a caramel-flavored popcorn. It is contained in a …

Jell-o Gelatin - Pina Colada flavor suffers from the same fundamental problem as the margarita flavor does. It is not possible to take an adult drink and transform it into a gelatin dessert that is intended for everyone because you have to remove ingredients and aspects that make the …

Although this trail mix has the word “spicy” in its name, I really don’t find this trail mix to be overly spicy. There’s a definite degree of hotness and sharpness to the trail mix, but it’s not enough to really set my mouth on fire or anything. It’s kind …

I bought this huge chunk bar of a chocolate at Fresh and Easy and for only $4.99 at a heavy hunky 500 grams (that’s half a pound already!) I can share it with my family and with leftovers still.
This huge chocolate bar had pecan and fruit pieces in …

One of my favorite things to drink when I am trying to avoid drinking soda is Fuze. Fuze is a fruit drink that is offered in 8 different flavors: tropical punch, strawberry melon, blueberry raspberry, cranberry raspberry, banana coloda, peach mango, strawberry guava, and orange mango. I …

This bottled water brand is one that I have only spotted at Aldi, a store that carries primarily generics and off brands. Not only does this water taste pretty much the same compared with other bottled waters, but it is also sold at a price that is generally thirty …

I bought this from my local convenience shop because it looked like a good, large slab of milk chocolate but at only 44 pence. This is very economical as you would expect to pay more like £1 for such a large bar. This is 100g. The …

I usually get ready to eat and packed chapatti from my favorite food brand which is Pataks Original, which I usually get at Tesco supermarket which is quite affordable. Pataks is known for their Indian dishes and packed meals. Since I love eating Indian dishes it …

I’m not a big drinker. I have some health issues which mean that one or two drinks is pretty much my limit and that is one of the reasons I like Kahlua. It’s the perfect drink for every now and then.
Firstly the taste of Kahlua is pretty …

I am not a huge fan of pre-packaged meals, but I do like Chun King. I love making Chinese dinners and often find preparing everything from scratch takes too long, so I bought Chun King Vegetables and sauce mix.
This particular boxed package said it served five people. Inside there …

I like chocolate and sweets a lot and I always go through the snacks and chocolate aisle looking at candy bars, chocolates, cookies, etc. I had run across something called Reese’s Whipps the other day and it interested me. I did not purchase it then but today I finally …

I have to admit that Klondike Big Bar Ice Cream Sandwiches are yummy. I also have to say they’re darn expensive, which is why I don’t get them very often. Still, for a treat, they’re hard to beat.
The silver package with the white polar bear has been …

Some of my reviews in the past are with Goya chocolates because it is way cheaper than other brands and it taste good too. However, it is also depends on other flavor. I tried Goya chocolate with raisins and nuts together with other Goya products last Sunday and this …

When shopping for cereal, variety certainly isn’t a problem. Now, making a choice may quite possibly be, because of the sheer number of boxed and bagged cereal, not to mention cereal intended to be served warm which is also known as porridge, available on grocery store shelves. Some cereals …

I couldn’t find my favorite cereal at my local Wal-Mart. I freaked out, afraid that Wal-Mart had discontinued their Great Value Extra Raisin Bran Cereal.
I found it a few weeks later in new packaging. I was relieved, but I soon pondered why Wal-Mart had changed it. Did they ruin …

CVS Fudge Striped Shortbread Cookies are modeled after the Keebler Fudged Stripes cookies. Not only do the cookies sold under the CVS Pharmacy name look identical to the national brand, but they also taste just as good! The fudge is rich and tasty and the shortbread cookie leaves a …

Roasted Garlic and Shrimp, a new flavor of pizza we tried at Yellow Cab this day. Well of course it is Sunday and it is a special pizza or restaurant day. My family and I have finally tried eating more healthy food, slowly eating more veggies, and seafood than …

I don’t know much about how Dairy Queen French Fries are prepared, but they are closer to what I like than many other fast food places are. I am someone who really loves a good side order of French fries, or if I get a combo meal it …

Healthy Choice has come out with a new line of frozen entrees called All Natural Entrees. Since it was on sale at Wal-Mart, I bought enough to last me a couple of weeks, including Creamy Basil Pesto. I choose this entrée because I love the tomato-basil-mozzarella cheese …

I’m not a huge fan of syrup like some people are, so I’m not too interested in mixing a glass of diluted syrup like myself unlike some people. The only way I would drink it, is if there is nothing else there to drink, and I really need something …

Nature’s Path: Crunchy Vanilla Sunrise is not quite as good as the maple version of this cereal. I like vanilla as much as I like maple, but maple is undeniably a richer and stronger flavor. Nonetheless, I think this cereal has a tasty flavor to it that does indeed …

Okay so lately I haven’t had the money to buy named brand root beer so I ended up getting the store brand kind and I must say I like it a lot. The store brand root beer I have been drinking is Hannaford Root Beer. It has a creamy …

I am not a huge fan of cupcakes. The only time I like to eat them is for an afternoon snack paired with coffee. Well I would not go to great lengths just to be able to eat cupcakes and there are a lot of supermarket ready-packed cupcakes that …

Hostess is a popular brand name that has been around since long before I was born. I grew up with their fun snacks, including Hostess Twinkies, which has always been a favorite.
Hostess Twinkies are golden sponge cakes with creamy fillings They come in two-packs or a box …

One of my favorite Bachelor’s product foods is the instant noodle with sweet and sour flavor. It is quite a very unique flavor as compared to the normal instant noodle flavor I normally see in the supermarket. Of the entire noodle I’ve tried in the past I …

This flatbed turkey club is a compact sandwich melt that you place into the microwave for just two minutes and when it heats you can cut it and your ready to eat it. The size is pretty big and the package comes with four at just $5 which is …
