Squirt: Citrust Burst
I was skeptical about trying this soda after a friend recommended it to me because I consider myself to be a creature of habit. I also am not a fan of grapefruit and a grapefruit appears on the can. This clear soda is kind of similar to 7-Up or …
Lindt Milk and nuts small chocolate
When I was younger I adored chocolate with nuts but later I just stopped liking it. I don’t know why. Than about 2 months ago I rediscovered it. This my rediscovery didn’t happen with Lindt Milk and nuts chocolate but with some other one from another brand but once …
Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake
Every Sunday I have made it a ritual that after morning mass, I find a dessert from the super market that I can make from scratch. Last week, my boyfriend was with me and he spotted a dark chocolate fudge cake, that I must say looked absolutely delicious from …

Garden is the name of a company which produces the new kind of salty snacks which are ready to eat and very fresh. The quality, purity, taste and even the quantity of the snacks produced by the company Garden are very good to eat. The packing of …
Ravioli bowl: Amy’s Frozen Dinner
The Ravioli bowl is a bit to bland for me mostly because I do not really like the tomato sauce that they use on the ravioli. This is one of those meals I usually have to add a little bit of my own seasoning to. That does annoy me …
Pillsbury Egg Scrambles: Bacon and Veggies
I am a breakfast lover but a bad cook, so anything I can microwave is a good thing. So it was with some excitement that I grabbed a new breakfast item on my last trip to the grocery store. Pillsbury Egg Scrambles had several different options: Bacon and …
Newman’s Parmesean & Garlic Salad Dressing

Stouffer’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Stouffer’s Spaghetti with Meat Sauce is nothing all that spectacular or special. I bought it once and was moderately satisfied with what it had to offer to me and then I tried a few other of Stouffer’s frozen pasta meals and I have never felt a need to purchase …
Saffal frozen pees
Who does not like to eat the recepies made using the fresh pees. But the fresh pees are only available in particular seasons. But now we don’t need to worry because now we can get the Saffal frozen pees, which are sold in the shops. These …
Little Debbie Creme-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes
I do not care all that much for these Little Debbie Creme-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes. I much prefer the Hostess chocolate cupcakes for a couple of reasons. The main reason that I prefer the Hostess variety is because the Little Debbie cupcakes are not quite as moist and rich. I …
Aunt Jemima Frozen Buttermilk Pancakes
Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancakes are alright as far as frozen pancakes go. When I am heating a couple up in the microwave, they do give off a pleasant smell, and when I sit down to eat them, they do taste okay. The quality certainly is not very high as …
Milo Energy Drink
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 …
Keebler Fudge Shoppe Peanut Butter Filled Cookies
Not long ago, several Keebler cookie varieties were on sale so I decided to try the Keebler Fudge Shoppe Peanut Butter Filled Cookies for the first time. I’m learning to like several of the Keebler cookies. I’ve had a few types in the past that I’ve enjoyed but …
Red Man chewing tobacco
Red Man chewing tobacco is probably the best tobacco on the market. It’s cheaper than you can get almost anywhere else, and its flavor lasts longer.
I’ve been chewing tobacco for about four years now and I’ve tried multiple brands of tobacco that were more exspensive and had even …
Fuller’s ‘London Pride’ beer
I am sitting here with a contented expression on my face. Why? Well, mostly because I have just been enjoying a draught of one of the delights of the summer (and of the winter too, if truth be told). That particular delight is the consumption of a rich-tasting, …
Libby’s Vienna Sausages
I like Libby’s Vienna Sausages, they are tasty and soft, an excellent choice for a quick snack. The tiny can of 6 small sausages costs under 50 cents. The sausages look like hotdogs cut in half. They are made of chicken, pork, and beef; very tender and moderately salty. …
Virginia Foods Meatball and Beans
I recently bought the Virginia Meatballs and Beans. This is manufactured by Virginia Foods in Mandaue City, Metro Cebu, Philippines. The can I bought was 226 gms. But I saw a smaller sized can too although I was not able to take note of its size.
This can was supposedly …
Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries Golden Crinkles
I tried the Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries Golden Crinkles because they were supposed to be just as good as the regular Golden Crinkles, but could be cooked much quicker by simply sticking them in the microwave as opposed to the oven. All I needed to do was make …

Mrs. Freshley’s Iced Honey Bun
I think Mrs. Freshley’s Iced Honey Bun is my favorite of the honey bun variety line, although admittedly, it is a pretty sweet variety due to the sweet iced glaze that covers the honey bun. The iced glaze is quite rich and tasty though! The honey bun itself is …
Roasted & Salted Sunflower Nuts
Good Sense Roasted & Salted Sunflower Nuts come in a resealable plastic bag. I bought a 10 oz bag for something like $1.38, which I thought was a good price. The nuts come already peeled, so you won’t have to worry about that (although I know some people who …
Amazing Cones’ Flaming Fajita Pizza Cone
Just when I least expected it, I came across a new type of pizza. It was Amazing Cones. Amazing Cones is a restaurant that serves pizza, dessert and ice cream. The best part is that Amazing Cones is named as such because the pizza is rolled in a cone. …

Kanki Orange Ginger Chicken
I bought this out of the frozen food section last night because I was looking for something new to try. I really enjoyed the meal, however there wasn’t much chicken in it for a meal that has the word chicken in its name. There were probably four small pieces …
Italpasta Lasagne ( Lasagna )
I bought this product from Canada. Just lately I was trying to perfect my culinary skill specifically in pastas. Lasagna is one of the most delicious treat for me after Carbonara or Fettucini. I always go for imported brands when it comes to pasta although some of our locally-produced are …
Trader Joe’s Kalamata Olive Hummus
I was intrigued by this hummus because I love the taste of kalamata olives. These are large purplish-black almond-shaped Greek olives that have a lovely texture that is similar to meat. Trader Joe’s hummus tends to have a pasty, rather than creamy, texture to it, which is not something …
Malteser’s Chocolate

Classic Chocolate Cacao Reserve by Hershey’s Drinking Cocoa
I was surprised by the flavor and aroma offered by Classic Chocolate Cacao Reserve by Hershey’s Drinking Cocoa, and not in a good way. I thought coming from a company like Hershey’s, a company that is known for its chocolate, that this cocoa would be positively delicious. What I …

TGI Fridays frozen honey barbecue wings

A friend introduced me to a new chocolate temptation: Lindor Truffles. This delicious chocolate candy comes in 3 varieties: dark, milk, and white chocolate. Each one has this amazing smooth filling, made of “melting chocolate” which is actually the company’s secret recipe. The first kind I tried was milk …

Later on …

Aunt Jemima Ham and Cheese Omelet
Aunt Jemima Ham and Cheese Omelet is nothing special and in fact, I likely will not be spending money on it a second time. Why exactly did this frozen breakfast meal fail to impress me? Well, for one, the ham did not have a great deal of flavor to …
Reese’s Puffs
When this cereal first appeared, it’s major advertising gimmick was that you were essentially eating peanut butter cups for breakfast. There’s some truth to this. The cereal is made with two kinds of puffs, some are made with Reese’s peanut butter and the others are made with Hershey’s …
Droste Milk and Dark Pastilles chocolate
Droste Milk and Dark Pastilles (although the name is actually rendered as “Milk / Dark” on the pack) are a chocolate treat that I do not very often manage to enjoy, not because I don’t like the things - I do, a great deal - but because they are …

Do you know what “adobo” is? It’s actually a Filipino dish which is a soy sauce based meat recipe. Does it good? Well for me it is cause I’m a Filipino and I grew up with it. People from outside my country may think this will be another scary …
