Mrs. Freshley’s Fig Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar
Mrs. Freshley’s Fig Fruit & Grain Cereal Bar, while not offering much of an improvement over the apple cinnamon variety, is nonetheless an improvement. I find the fig flavor to be a little more intense than the apple-cinnamon flavor variety, and the fig flavor is certainly authentic. I also …

Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Milk Chocolate Frosting

Ferrero Rondnoir Chocolates

Cadbury Star Bar
Cadbury’s Star Bar is one of my favourite chocolate bars. Before writing this review, I nipped onto Wikipedia to remind myself when they first came out as I have been buying these regularly since the 1980s. Interestingly, it pointed out that this Star Bar only exists because …
El Monterey Burritos Beef & Bean Red Chili Burritos Family Pack

Nestea Iced Tea 50% Less Sugar

Nestle Extrafine Straciatella chocolate
I’ve bought Nestle Extrafine Straciatella for the first time about 6 months ago when it just came out so it had a test price of about 1 Euro. I saw it on the shelf and I wanted it. I usually never buy chocolate that costs more than 0.80 Euro …
Snickers Candy Bar
Snickers Candy Bars are just awesome. They’ve been a favorite in my home for decades. They’re a yummy combination of roasted peanuts, nougats, milk chocolate, and caramel. Again, with both milk chocolate and peanuts in the equation, that equals good stuff.
A few years back there was …

OnCor Rib Shaped Pork Patties in BBQ Sauce
I have tried several OnCor frozen food products, and our family likes them all: Lasagna, Salisbury steaks, and now these “barbeque ribs.” They are not real ribs, of course, which is clearly stated on the box: they are pork patties, shaped in the form of ribs, but they taste …

Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice
The picture on the box that the Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice came in sure looked mighty appetizing. Large pieces of chicken, assorted vegetables and white rice all decorated the box. One fourteen point two ounce box cost three dollars, a price that I considered to be okay as …
Prawn Patties
I love the delicious taste of Prawn Patties. Just in case you do not know what this delicious snack is, it is actually patties stuffed with prawns and it’s best to eat especially if it’s dipped with breadcrumbs and cornflour.
The dipping sauce can be anything from chili sauce right …
Sea Kid Crispy Pusit (Squid) Teriyaki Style
