Chandon Blanc De Noirs Champagne

Dons Chuck Wagon Golden Mushroom Batter Mix
What a piece of crap Don’s Chuck Wagon golden mushroom batter mix turned out to be. I just did a fried fish night and along with the fried fish I incorporated fried mushrooms. I have had fried mushrooms in restaurants, and I always wanted to recreate them at home, I …
Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts
I find Mrs. Freshley’s Powdered Mini Donuts to be almost as good as the cinnamon variety. The reason I say “almost” is because I personally prefer cinnamon to powdered sugar, although the powdered sugar used on these donuts is really quite enjoyable and offers a real delightful flavor. I …

Cap’n Crunch cereal
I bought this Cap’n Crunch cereal on sale. This 350gram box of cereal boasts that it contains ‘O trans fat’, which I thought was a redeeming quality. The other thing I like was that this cereal contains no white flour, they make it with corn flour and oat flour.
There’s …

Mrs. Field’s Cookies
I was rather surprised to find that Mrs. Field’s cookie shop in my local mall, wanted four dollars for five cookies! Now, I could perhaps understand this price if the cookies were cake-sized, but rather, they are more morsel-like in size. So, while their marketing ploy to …
Angel Coffee Creamer
Coffee has always been a good ritual drink in the morning or perhaps anytime of the day. I sometimes use ready-to-drink mix where Nescafe has famously produced several varieties like “unsweetened”, “decaf” or “strong” as they call it. The good thing with ready mix is that it is spill-proof, easy …

Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Spanish Style
What I like the most about “Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice Spanish Style” is that the rice is both soft and flavorful. I dislike rice that comes out tasting hard, and quite thankfully that’s never a problem I’ve come across with this brand. Every spoonful is smooth in texture in …
Oishi Sponge
Another super junkfood made by Oishi is the choco soaked snack Sponge. The “ring like ” choco crunch that every junkfood lover

Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cedarlane Burrito Grande with Chili Verde Sauce

However, I was pleasantly …

Philippine Dried Mango
I was never really big on dried food–and still not to be honest–until I had the opportunity to try the Philippine dried mango. I found it on a trip to super Wal-Mart which turned out to be an impulsive buy. I don’t like dried fruit, but I like mango.
The …
