Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts to be almost as good as the cinnamon variety. The reason I say “almost” is because I personally prefer cinnamon to powdered sugar, although the powdered sugar used on these donuts is really quite enjoyable and offers a real delightful flavor. I …
Mango frooti
Mango Frooti is a very popular fruit drink in India. It tastes really good, and even though, they use added flavor to give artificial taste to frooti, still it taste very much like real mango. It comes is different packing, the old and traditional one comes in a small …
Selecta Coffee Almond Cookies Ice Cream
This new flavor of Selecta didn’t impress me much. With coffee cream as its main flavor, it was mixed with tiny and only a few bits of almonds and cookie crumbs. I didn’t experience anything new or special with this flavor.
I like Coffee Crumble better. The cashew nuts …
Lipton Milk Tea

Arce Dairy Ice Cream
Sugar free is unheard of in most part of the Philippines, and although our population consumes tons of ice cream annually, there are only two brands to choose from. My parents don’t eat ice cream a lot. I don’t know why but they never shared their children’s passion for …
Zubrowka Vodka
Why is Zubrowka the tastiest vodka in the world, unique among the rest? Well, it’s from Poland, so you know it’s good. And it’s made from grass that the Polish buffalo roam on when they roam across the Polish lands. So it’s a yellowish color and …

Arizona Vitamin C Fortified Kiwi Strawberry drink

Sugar Free Wannabe Cupcake from Just Delicious Bakery
This sugar free, deep chocolate, cream filled cupcake is called a Wannabe because of its resemblance to a Hostess Cupcake, but the resemblance is only superficial.
A package of Hostess Cupcakes has two cakes in it, actual weight about 4 ozs. I would always eat them both, doesn’t everyone? …
Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Rolls
How does one take a cinnamon roll and give it a Halloween twist? By throwing on some chocolate frosting, of course. Apparently, that’s how Bake House, the company behind these Halloween-themed cinnamon rolls, thinks, because the Bake House Halloween Cinnamon Rolls are no different from the cinnamon rolls that …

Pop Weaver Light Butter Popcorn
I realize that butter is not good for the body, but I just can’t get used to popcorn that’s only lightly buttered. I’ve tried more than once, and I always end up forcing myself to finish the bags that come in the box. There’s very little flavor to popcorn …
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Glazed
The Little Debbie Mini Donuts Glazed are fine, although most certainly not outstanding or super scrumptious. The mini-donuts have a relatively light but nonetheless flavorful sugar glaze that surrounds the donut. The donut itself is
fine. They do not taste overly fresh, but I would not exactly say that …
Fruit-Filled Pancakes by Purity
I am in the belief that frozen, micro-waved pancakes are an oddity. Often they end up cemented or soggy. While grocery shopping recently, these frozen treats caught my eye: Strawberry Fruit-filled Pancakes by Purity Baking Company.
The box is cheery. The setting on the picture depicts a home-like …

Wow another product from Coca-Cola, the Coke ZERO. I don’t mind that Coca-Cola already has too many variants - Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, Lemon Coke and so on and so forth. Zero is my favorite. Coke Zero was obviously made for sugar conscoius individuals, it boasts of containing no …

La Fonte Bolognese Sauce
My family love pasta and they like to eat Bolognese pasta. And when I made my own Bolognese, I could not make it with the taste that we normally made in Europe. Maybe the tomatoes that we get here are not the same tomatoes that they have in Europe. …
Schogetten Praline Noisettes chocolates
I am quite a fan of the Schogetten range of chocolate, which is easily available, at least in most of Europe, from Aldi and Lidl stores. In my case I tend to go to Aldi, but that is simply because it is the closer of the two to where …
