Settembrini cookies (Mulino bianco)
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 …

I would like to review my favorite sweets of all time. I will start with one of the best chocolate in town. Toblerone Swiss, I love this chocolate because it taste different from other chocolates out there, first it has nougat, second it has honey, Although, i don’t think …
Orville Redenbacher’s Mini Smart Cakes
This week I obtained a package of Orville Redenbacher’s 100 Caolorie Mini Smart Cakes to sample. These snack treats came in a colorful, high quality pouch that was sleek, but a little difficult to open. This was a sample packet, though, so it’s not necessarily how the …
Entenmann’s 8 Glazed Buttermilk Donuts
I find Entenmann’s 8 Glazed Buttermilk Donuts to be an enjoyable treat once and a great while. While these donuts are not quite as soft or fresh as the donuts sold individually in the cases, eight do come in a box and at a good value, too. Plus, the …
Chick-fil-A Sausage Biscuit
Chick-fil-A Sausage Biscuit is pretty good, although not quite as good as the McDonald’s Sausage McGriddle. The reason I prefer the Sausage McGriddle is because I really like the soft, maple filled pancakes and they taste terrific with sausage. Nonetheless, there are a couple of things that I like …
Iceberg’s Chocolate German U-Boat Banana Split
The weather now is really crazy hot. With summer temperatures reaching 36-37 degrees Celsius, I really needed a nice, cold ice cream dessert that could quench my thirst. I am literally having headaches because of the heat!
It is a good thing to know that there is a nearby …
Bacon Cheese Whopper (Burger King)
Late nights are tough when your stomach is growling and you realize that you inadvertently skipped dinner. To avoid a grocery store trip, I settled on Burger King. There was a McDonald’s nearby as well. But I had a taste for “real” beef, charbroiled taste—something …
Cadbury Roses 400g box
Cadbury are known for their great quality and choice in chocolates. There really is something for everyone in their selection of Roses. Brazilian darkness is a chewy caramel with a good amount of chopped brazil nuts. It is not too chewy, and I find the flavour of the caramel …
Del Monte Sloppy Joe Sauce
Del Monte sloppy joe sauce is a cheaper alternative to the more famous Manwich sauce. Del Monte sloppy joe sauce is priced at about half the price of Manwich, which is what made my wife and I give it a try during a recent grocery visit.
We were pleasantly …
Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Costa Rica Tarrazu Ground Filter Coffee
The brightly coloured packaging of this range of ground coffees from Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference brand caught my eye and on closer inspection I saw that there was a choice of coffees with different flavours. I cannot remember the whole range, but they each have a different bright …
McCormick Imitation Maple Extract
One day I was looking at recipes on the internet and I came across this maple nut cake with maple butter frosting. I was immediately saddened that I could not try this recipe as my country does not yet import the McCormick Imitation Maple Extract that both recipes called …
Henry Weinhard’s IPA
Henry Weinhard’s came out with an India Pale Ale not too long ago, and, for a refreshing price, this is a refreshing ale. Henry Weinhard’s Ale line has attached to it a famously low price for a rather decent beverage. This is common knowledge throughout the Northwest. …
Big Red gum
I wanted cinnamon gum a few nights ago, so I decided to get some Big Red gum. I grew up chewing Big Red, and I loved it, so I thought I’d try it out again. Here’s a summary of my experience with that.
The package claims that it …
Tesco Pure Apple, Mango and Lime juice
I’ve tried this Tesco Pure Apple, Mango and Lime juice when one time I bought something as part of the preparation for my sons’ birthday party. Although I’ve got some other drinks like fizzy drinks but I thought that maybe there are some guest who are a bit …
French Fries from Wendy’s
Today I ate lunch at Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburger Restaurant and my lunch included French fries. I’ve always loved French fries so eating at a fast food restaurant that serves them is a plus. While not the absolute best French fries around (McDonald’s is the best tasting), the ones …
Little Debbie Devil Squares Cakes
I do not like the Little Debbie Devil Squares Cakes as much as I do the Devil Creme Cakes because these square cakes have a slightly hard chocolate exterior where as the creme cakes have a soft exterior. The slightly hard exterior on the square cakes is really hardly …
TYKU
This is my first review so I’m just trying this out. I had the opportunity to try the newest liquor on the market…TYKU a saki based drink. The taste is very much like a sweet saki, but with a little more kick and a lot more refreshing. It was …
Arrowhead Mills Organic Corn Grits
I am a big fan of polenta and I often buy it already prepared. It wasn’t until I came across a recipe for homemade polenta for the pressure cooker that I found out how easy and how much better homemade could be. The recipe I had called for corn …
Creamfields Sunflower Light Spread
Creamfields Sunflower Light Spread is not only cheap, but it is low in fat and calories and it also tastes pretty good considering it is not real butter. I would always prefer to have real butter for certain things, such as melted on a baked potato, but I …
Sobe Lifewater - Orange Tangerine
I have been looking for a long time for a good beverage that is going to keep me refreshed in the hot summer months and Sobe Lifewater really does the trick for me. Even though it is like $1 a bottle, there are a lot of times that you …
Eclipse Peppermint Gum
Eclipse Peppermint Gum is just okay, nothing fancy about it and nothing worth bragging about to you guys. I am a big gum chewer, and I enjoy many of the sugarless brands, but not this one. I mean, if there is nothing available, I will chew it, …
Maxwell House Breakfast Blend Ground (34.5 oz.)
Me and my husband are both coffee lovers. Our days are not complete without a sip of coffee. I like mine mellow and creamy with a little drop of sweetness. He like his plain black. We used to buy the coffee beans but in our fast paced lifestyles, I just …
Aspen Cider Spices, Original Spice Blend
This exceptional, original spice blend is a marvelous mix of sugar, dextrose, extractives of cinnamon, cloves, annatto, lemon, orange, nutmeg, and caramel color. Now I do not want to daunt you, but although annatto is commonly used in food, it can cause allergic reactions to some sensitive people; however, …
Quiznos Rib Sandwich
Quiznos is quite outstanding, I must admit! I tried their rib sandwich this week because my brother kept bothering me to try it, claiming that it was “hype”. My guess prior to trying it was that it was probably decent, but I really had only heard of …
Guylian Twists Belgian Chocolate
This is the most awesome chocolate candy! We received a package of Guylian Twists Belgian Chocolate for Christmas, and the entire family’s enjoyed trying this marvelous candy. True to Belgian chocolate standards, decadent milk, dark and white chocolate swirls around a creamy hazelnut, praline filling. Guylian offers several flavors …
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. …
Charles Bobby
Oh yes, Charles Bobby…one of my favourite chocolates since I was just a kid, growing up and through high school I used to buy these by the dozen and keep them in the candy jar to snack on later in the night after dinner while doing my homework. Till …
Bazooka Bubble Gum
During trick or treating this year, rather than hand out candy, I instead filled my bowl with pieces of Bazooka Bubble Gum. My wife thought it was because I�m a cheapskate. Not true. I chose to do this simply because I wanted the leftovers.
I�ve tried quite a few brands …
Kroger - Cherry Pie
The cherry pies sold at Kroger found in the bakery section are not that great. Actually, that is quite an understatement. The cherry pie is just downright horrible for the reasons that I am about to cover. Unlike the other pie varieties that I have tried, this is one …
Sargento - Deli Style Sliced Aged Swiss Cheese
Sargento Deli Style Sliced Aged Swiss Cheese is my favorite kind of Swiss cheese, and really, my favorite kind of cheese period. The reason I prefer the aged Swiss over the regular Swiss is because I like the sharper flavor that the aged Swiss has to offer. It really …
Sainsbury’s Mocha Desserts
I thought I was just getting a common or garden coffee flavoured mousse when I bought this Set of 2 Mocha Desserts from Sainsbury’s, but these are far more gourmet than that. When I took one out and peeled off the cellophane top one of the little tubs …
Bagel Bites Three Cheese Mini Bagels
I like these Bagel Bites. I have liked them for years, really. The three cheese variety is quite good, with the cheddar, mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses mixed in with sauce and sitting on top of a bagel. I do wish that the bagel was crispier, but then again, …
Kellogg’s Special K Protein Plus
If you are in search of something that will provide you with an incredible amount of protein, this cereal is for you! This cereal has more protein in it than most other cereals in the grocery store, and in addition to the hearty amount of protein, there are also …
Linolada chocolate milk cream
I don’t usually buy Linolada because it is quite expensive and I prefer Nutella because it has much better taste. But the other day I went to the shop and I saw these small Linolada packs and I couldn’t resist. I must say that i really don’t know when …
Frnuit Premium Healthy Nuts and Dried Fruit
I love snacking on nuts. I love them all—peanuts, sunflower seeds, cashews, almonds, etc. Aside from being delicious, they are also said to be healthy and enhances the brain. So when I passed by the Frnuit stall in the Wellcome supermarket in Hong Kong, I couldn’t …
Yoplait Source Yoghurt
I am a huge fruit flavoured yoghurt fan. I do find however; that yoghurts can be quite high in fact and calories, and as I dislike the low fat ones sweetened with asparatine, I only buy them as a treat.
Not any more! I have found a great low fat …
Mother’s Iced Lemonade Cookies
Mother’s Iced Lemonade Cookies are sold at gas stations and convenience stores across the United States. I think you can also get them from some stores, but I usually see them at the gas station in smaller bags perfect for snacking on. Each bag is white, with some bright …
Super Subs at the J
Super Sub sandwiches usually appear every couple of weeks as a lunch item at the J Cafeteria at Humboldt State University. Super Sub sandwiches come in meat and veggie versions. Each includes lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese. It is about a 5″ long, very thick sub …
Irvins Salted Egg Potato Chips
This snack has created some hype in Southeast Asia (especially in Singapore and Indonesia) and I know people who really love the chips, like my friend and some who ordered a whole box at one go because these chip sell really fast and is always short of supply.
Although I …
Craver’s Cookies - Haulin’ Oats & Raisins Gourmet Cookies
I usually don’t buy or eat Oats and Raisins cookies but when my mother came to visit she bought a couple boxes of Craver’s Haulin’ Oats & Raisins Gourmet Cookies with her and left me a box for myself.
Craver’s Haulin’ Oats & Raisins Gourmet Cookies are different from cookies …
Andre Cold Duck Champagne
Why this version of Andre champagne bears the name of Cold Duck, I have no idea. I decided to try it after buying two other kinds, Andre Peach Passion (good) and Andre Pink Champagne (okay). Cold Duck is dark red in color, more like a table wine than champagne. …
Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos
Normally, I have been against the changes that have been made with the beloved Oreo cookie. But, there was no way I couldn’t try the new berry burst ice cream flavor Oreos. They were a refreshing change from the usual Oreo flavors that I haven’t enjoyed. It is a …
Rolaids Soft Chews Antacids
I have in my lifetime bought some terrible products, and this is one of them. Today, I bought Rolaids Soft Chews Antacids in Rich Vanilla flavour. I got them for my mom, who had a mild case of heartburn. I usually buy tums for her but the store was …

Joy Ice Cream Cups
Unfortunately for me, my favorite grocery store has changed brands again, something they do from time to time, only this time it’s definitely not a good thing. The product in question is a box of ice cream cones. I really liked the other brand they carried, but …
Thai & Co. Restaurant and Bar London
I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. From the outside it looks smart, clean and tasteful, with its wooden floors and attractive oriental designs. It has a very clean-cut and modern feel to it, and it has a sense of minimalism, which immediately makes …
Simply Lemonade with Raspberry
Lately I have been drinking Simply Lemonade with Raspberry and let me just say it taste so good. It actually has the sourness of lemons and the sweet tartness of raspberries which I really, really like. I even like the color of the lemonade with is a light pink …
Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad
The Chick-fil-A Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad is much better than the Chargilled Fruit Salad, in my opinion. I think with this menu item, the chargrilled chicken goes better with the contents found in the garden salad as opposed to the contents found in the fruit salad. Of course, the …
