Hilo Value Hot Pepper Sauce
I never really had an interest in putting hot pepper sauce on my food because most of the brands that were bought before now were too hot for me, and I don’t usually like putting a lot of pepper on my food. Therefore, if I absolutely must, I would …
Maggi Tangy Tomato Vegetable Soup
Our family usualy dines out on special occassions. As it is common with everyone, we always start with soup and our first choice is tomato soup. During one of those dinners, we gave tomato soup for taste to my 3 year old daughter. She liked it very …
Innes & Gunn Beer
Once in a while, something different comes on the market and makes a bit of a splash. I suppose you could think of Google in the respect. It outshone the competition in a big way and none have ever quite come up to scratch ever since. Perhaps Champagne is …
Donald Duck Orange Juice
I recently had a coupon for Donald Duck orange juice. I was a little skeptical at first because of the name. I think they could’ve come up with a better name for orange juice other then Donald Duck. I bought the 64 ounce carton size of …
Roddenberry’s Northwoods: Original Syrup
Roddenberry’s Northwoods: Original Syrup is a syrup that I have only been able to find at one or two grocery stores. It is definitely a syrup that is not so easy to find! The reason I wanted to find it was because I had a pretty good coupon that …
Rio Mare Tuna
I’ve tasted so many tuna fishes in can that you can trust me when I say that Rio Mare is the best tuna fish in the the world that I have ever tried.
It is not in peaces and the half of can is not full of oil …
Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies
I adore Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies. They were recommended to me about twenty years ago, and I was very happy to get my first bag. Pepperidge Farm is a quality brand, anyway, but I just hadn’t ever had any of their cookies until a friend suggested these. …
Amarula Cream liquor
This cream liquour is made of fresh milk and an exotic fruit called marula. This fruit, that I didn’t know beforehand, seems to have a lot of vitamine c. More important than that, mixed with milk makes an unique mix with a soft and delicious taste.
This drink has a …

Pasta Meals at the Old Spaghetti House

We eat a lot of on the go meals at our house, and one of my favorite things to make the family for breakfast is Eggo waffles. The nice thing about them is that they are really inexpensive, which is really important for me when I am on a …
Green Giant Fresh Valley Steamers
We made shredded pork sandwiches for dinner the other night and, to go with them, we decided to make a bag of Green Giant Fresh Valley Steamers vegetables.
The sandwiches were good. The vegetables were actually a bit of a disappointment.
Green Giant used to offer quality when it came to …
General Mills Protein Cinnamon Almond Cheerios
I was admittedly hesitant to purchase a box of either General Mills Protein Cinnamon Almond Cheerios or General Mills Protein Oats and Honey Cheerios for a simple reason: I didn’t like how on the box, it stated the cereal contained eleven grams of protein, but there was a condition …
Kitchens of India Heat and Eat packs
I find so many supposedly ‘instant’ dishes that can be found in the supermarket are not really instant at all. Some of them you have to fiddle around with cups of milk and spoonfuls of margarine, others take almost an hour in the oven or are just very messy. …
Cafe Nova Cafe latte
I first tasted Cafe Nova during the recent Singapore Asia Pacific food festival. I liked it upon tasting and we decided to get one pack. It has a large number of sachets and there are varities with and without sugar. This coffee uses freeze dried Arabica …
Pringles Potato chips
Although pringles potato chips have been around for a long time. I find that they now have many different brands however they also are very salty. They do now come salt free but to me taste like one is chewing on cardboard. Even though they stay …
Hostess Fruit Pies - Cherry
Although I find these Hostess Fruit Pies - Cherry variety to be superior to the apple variety, I still feel that this variety is lacking in a delicious and memorable flavor that would keep me coming back. The crust is a big problem really - it is dry and …

I really do love Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popping Corn, but I’ve rarely tried any of the various flavors except for butter flavors. However, I had a chance to try their new Cheddar Cheese variety and decided to give it a shot.
I was actually surprised how much I liked …
Growers’ Nutribar
If you’re looking for a healthy alternative snack you should try Growers’ Nutribar. It was recommended to me by roommate who is into weight lifting. It looks like an energy bar but cheaper. A bar costs 14 Philippine Pesos (about 28 US cents) and box of six costs 80 …
Kroger Value Pancake Syrup
Kroger Value Pancake Syrup is not the richest and not the thickest pancake and waffle syrup that I have ever placed on my pancakes or waffles, but I still find it to be an enjoyable syrup that enhances my satisfaction of eating pancakes and waffles or when I dip …
Coffee Twist Iced Black Coffee in Hazelnut Flavor
The internet connection in the house we are temporarily staying is very slow at night, and so to make the most of the captcha and online writing work that I do, I wake up very early in the morning. To help me really wake up, I would drink hot …
Hershey’s Cookie’s N Cream Milk
Hershey’s Cookies N Cream Milk is de-li-cious! I have tried a lot of breakfast shakes, milkshakes, protein shakes, and other milk products, but none stand a chance against Cookies N Cream. The taste is similar to that of the Hershey Cookies N Cream candy bar. Besides the …
California Pizza Kitchen’s Chipotle Pizza

Purefoods Chunkee Corned Beef
After bacon, corned beef is my all time favorite for breakfast. I always crave for the juicy type of corned beef. I have tried American brands and some have satisfied me but some were generic in terms of taste. One of the reasons why I like corned beef is …
Bermudez Original Crix Crackers
Here in my country, Bermudez Original Crix Crackers have been around for as long as I can remember. Bermudez Original Crix Crackers are fondly called “Vital Supplies” simply because they can be eating with nearly anything. My favourite thing to eat Bermudez Original Crix Crackers is cheese. But you …
Hot Box Cookies
Only in a college town would you expect to see a cookie shop with delivery service. That would be Hot Box Cookies in Columbia Missouri.
I love the story behind the shop. Three college students who were friends came up with the concept and opened their own business …
Wrigleys React 5 Sugarfree Gum
I am not a fan of any type of chewing gum, especially ones that are mint flavoured. Therefore, when one of my aunts offered me a pack of the new “Wrigley’s React 5 Sugarfree Gum” which I figured was going to be mint flavoured, I nearly refused it. Nevertheless, …

Dad’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip 37.5 g Cookies/Biscuits
I tried this for the first time. I never knew that these delicious cookies have been around since 1929. The package only contains two cookies, but I found them quite satisfying, indeed.
I just can’t resist cookies with oatmeal in them. Maybe because I’ve always loved having …
Barber Foods Kiev Stuffed Chicken Breasts
I’ve tried many stuffed chicken breasts, but I never had the opportunity to try the ones with the butter in them. I wasn’t sure about getting more than one box of the Barber Foods Kiev stuffed chicken breasts because not all garlic butter is good butter.
I put the chicken …
Hawaiian Punch Singles To Go-Fruit Punch
I love these Hawaiian Punch Singles! I wouldn’t say they’re the same as the regular hawaiian punch, but the flavor is close enough. To be precise, these are the fruit punch, but Hawaiian Punch has these in several other varieties as well. They come …
Black Pearl Drinks

I recently went to my aunt’s house in Palm bay Florida. While I was there, I made myself at home and checked out what they had in the fridge. There was a few cold beers in the fridge so I went and asked if I can have one. …
Keebler Ready Crust Graham Pie Crust

Carte D’or Triple Chocolate
I like ice creams but not all of them, so I prefer buying a little bit more expensive ones, and I must admit that all Carte d’Or ice creams taste great, that tastes really good than those cheap ones that taste like frozen milk with a lot of sugar …
Sprite Soda
So when we run out of juice drink in the fridge, our alternative to it is to buy Sprite Soda. I must say, that in preparing lunch and dinner,drinking soda or a juice drink is a good match.I can’t live without it. Hence, in choosing what soda to partner …
Twix Cookie Bars
From the Mars company, Twix Cookie Bars are a combination of chocolate and caramel that have a cookie crunch to them versus just a candy taste.
