Jacobs Ice Coffee (instant)
I am lover of instant coffee. To be more precise, I like it strong, sweet - and preferably cool. And yet, I am not a great fan of iced coffee… with the exception of one single brand: Jacobs Ice Coffee.
I have noticed there are two “ice coffee” produced by Jacobs. …

Mee Siam
I used not to like Mee Siam. In case you are wondering what this is, it is actually a gravy type of noodles, but the very thin strips one. Not the thick noodles like your spaghetti, though.
The gravy has to be spicy for me and in …
PC Teensy Weensy Blueberry Muffins
These muffins are a hit with my kids. Both my one-year-old and my seven-year-old enjoy them, and I have to admit to sneaking some when they are not around.

Talus Collection Pinot Noir

Haggen Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin
