100% Hand-made, this is one of the reasons why I like to patronize this stall. According to this stall owner, he refused to buy from suppliers, aside from the poorer quality, the fact that most of the Ngor Hiang that you eat is the Hokkien(dialect) style Ngor Hiang.The owner is …

Michaelina’s Salisbury Steak

Michael Cutler Brand Onions
I have a love/hate relationship with onions. I love them. My eyes hate them. It’s the type of relationship most people have with onions. Every time I cut into one I find myself having to leave the room because they are so strong. It takes my eyes at least …

I look forward to having these tasty and nutritious waffles for breakfast in the morning. Perhaps nutritious is too generous of a word, but the waffles are a good source of ten vitamins as well as nutrients and minerals as a result of the waffles being multigrain. Ten come …
Absolut Vodka
Absolut vodka is well known all over the world. Its design is impossible to mistake, in a bottle without any label but just letters printed on it. However, the bottle is not the only thing that makes this vodka special.

Bel Air Mega Sub
Bel Air’s deli has a bunch of different sandwiches to choose from, but their granddaddy has to be their Mega Sub. This thing is positively huge, and it is definitely far more than one person can eat, or at least, that’s my take on it. For it …
Nestle Coffee Mate Creamer
Before, I wasn’t fond of putting creamer on my coffee. I’m just enjoying the bittersweet taste of the coffee. It was just recently when I got addicted to the coffee-plus-creamer combination. And it’s all because of Nestle Coffee Mate that I started my obsession. Anyway, our family is a …
Jennie-O Ground Turkey

Farmer John Ham Steaks

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¨!
