Moccona Espresso
I am very fussy about my coffee. Not too strong, not too weak, but just right and Moccona Espresso certainly delivers the goods.
Most coffee tastes bitter to me and leaves an after taste that I find unpleasant, but not Moccona Espresso.
It is a mild, pleasant tasting coffee that …
Hormel Compleats - Salisbury Steak
After successful purchases and uses of Hormel Compleats Spaghetti and Meat Loaf varieties, I decided to try out their Salisbury Steak option.
Hormel Compleats - Salisbury Steak comes with sliced potatoes and gravy. My single complaint about this microwaveable meal is the gravy. There’s just too much of …
Truvia, sweetener without calorie
This is a review of Truvia. Truvia is a brand of stevia, which is a naturally sweetener without calorie. When I first saw it on the shelf, the first thought that came to mind was “ Sweetness without calorie? That is absolutely awesome” I have been trying it for …
Vita Coco pure coconut water
Recently, I have been hearing and reading about the benefits of coconut such as coconut oil and coconut water. I drink a lot of water every day, trying to stay hydrated and healthy. So, I began to wonder if I should try coconut water.

Burger King’s chicken sandwiches
I am a huge chicken fan. I could pretty much eat chicken and only chicken and be content. Usually I prefer that the chicken be grilled and fairly plain. When I was pregnant, however, I so craved Burger King’s chicken sandwiches. I like the plain …
Hillshire farms Deli Meat Turkey Ultra Thin
Although I am a vegetarian and can no longer indulge in the pleasures of lunchmeats, I spent years devouring Hillshire Farms Deli Turkey Meat. It was one of my regular purchases when doing my weekly shopping as it is both extremely convenient to have and quite delicious to boot. …

Tesco Mediterranean Vegetable Deep Fill Quiche

Duncan Hines Chocolate Lover’s Walnut Brownie Mix
Before I discovered Betty Crocker’s chocolate brownie mixes, I used to bake with Duncan Hines’ Chocolate lover’s walnut brownie mix; I’m glad I discovered Betty Crocker because I’ll never use Duncan Hines’ brownie mixes again.
Publix always has a buy one, get one free special going on, and Duncan Hines’ …
Hunt’s Chunky Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce
I was not particularly wowed by “Hunt’s Chunky Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce” and actually, I was rather disappointed when I took a taste of this spaghetti sauce along with my pasta. I must say, I don’t quite know where they got “chunky” from, because I didn’t see any chunky …
The Co operative Apple and Blackberry Pie
My local Co-operative appears to have an in-store bakery although I know that not all of them do. I was trying to decide which dessert to buy when a lady in a hairnet came out from the back of the shop and put some still warm Apple and …
Imperial Margerine
My family has used Imperial Margerine for several decades. I really can’t say why we started using it because I was a kid when I first became aware of it. This is one of those things where I just never changed brands from what my parents used.
Over …

Nature’s Place 100 Percent Organic Maple Syrup

I did not enjoy these Little Debbie Christmas Ginger Cookies at all. The gingerbread cookies did not have the flavor that I expected them too. In fact, they pretty much had no flavor at all! Did they forget to add the ginger to the recipe, or something? The cookie …

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies breakfast cereal
One of the great classics of the breakfast cereal world, if I can use that perhaps slightly overblown expression, is Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. This has been a favourite all over the world for very many years now, and there is no real mystery as to why - it is …
KFC’s Zinger
KFC’s Zinger has always been one of my favorites. So obviously that’s what I always order whenever I visit a KFC branch. Since I was craving for a zinger, I naturally visited KFC (Portchester branch, in particular) and ordered one.
Filled with consuming desire and mind-numbing hunger, I immediately grabbed …

Bacardi Breezer Blueberry and Guava Flavours
When it comes to alcoholic beverages, I am not a fan of coolers, such as those made with run, vodka, wine or tequila, to name a few. The main reason is that I find most of them far too sweet for my taste, and I much prefer to mix …

Jeff Gordon 24 Energy Drink
My wife realizes I’m not a big Jeff Gordon fan so, as a joke, she couldn’t resist buying me the energy drink named after him. After trying them, I’ll be willing to admit they aren’t half bad. But, you won’t see me looking for them at the grocery store …

Trader Joe’s Garlic Naan
I love naan bread with Indian food. Indian dishes are often very saucy, and these are great for scooping up every last bit of the sauce. At the restaurants, the texture is soft slightly chewy and airy almost like a warm, oily version of white pita bread. Garlic naan …
Cadbury Bourneville Dark Chocolate
There are not much dark chocolates in India, and thus, most people are unaware of their delicious taste. I was really happy to know that Cadbury, one of the biggest chocolate companies of India launched “Bourneville”, their first dark chocolate. As soon as I saw the advertisement, I felt …

Ajinomoto Gourmet Orange Chicken and Fried Rice Frozen Dinner

Amici Italian Restaurant
Before Amici was officially a restaurant it was only a “canteen” at the Don Bosco school; people would go to the school just to eat there but now there are several branches spread across Metro Manila because of the demand.
The prices mostly compliment the taste of their cooking …
Dannon Activia Peach Cereal Harvest Yogurt

Safeway stores has another in its selection of very good sandwiches. The sandwich is roast beef with crumbles of bleu cheese with lettuce and tomatos on focaccio bread. It is delicious. Bleu cheese isn’t a cheese I’d normally expect with roast beast, but it’s delicious.
I had this sandwich recently …
