I love raspberry and I have a major sweet tooth so I had to try one of these …
Magnolia Pinoy Sorbetes Ube Flavor

So there we were …
Camel SNUS
So Camel is test marketing a new tobacco product, Camel SNUS, in my area. I haven’t tried it yet but I can tell you one thing: this is one Camel product I am not going to be buying.
Basically the Camel SNUS is like chewing tobacco, except you don’t …
hint - Pear
This pear flavored water variety by hint is not one that I will purchase again quite simply because I did not enjoy it very much. Maybe it is because I do not think that pears have a whole lot of flavor by themselves. However, added to this water, it …
Budweiser Chilada
The Budweiser Chilada has to be one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard of in my entire life. Technically this is a name given to beer with a lime flavor, but for some reason Budweiser completely changed that recipe. Their version contains clam juice and tomato juice …
Steak McSkillet Burrito
I’m a big fan of the McSkillet burrito from McDonald’s and when I heard they were making one using steak, I knew it was something I had to try. The steak is the same that they use on their other breakfast sandwiches and I’ve eaten those without a problem …

Mama Cozzi Texas Toast Five Cheese
I purchased this Five Cheese Texas Toast once, but never will I spend money on it again! This is supposed to be a five cheese blend on each slice of Texas Toast, but I had a difficult time tasting more than two, and even the two flavors of cheese …

Nothing beats Maggi Instant Noodles especially on a cold, rainy day. It’s amazing how a weather like that can trigger your tummy and you have a sudden crave for Maggi Instant Noodles.There are so many flavors but my personal favorite is Curry flavor. I always add on eggs to …
Coffee Break 100% Anglo Instant Coffee
Sometimes we are blinded by imperial mentality that we believe the good tasting coffees are from Starbucks, Maxwell or Folger’s. I had this thinking before until I tried Coffee Break. I have an aunt who is based in Saudi Arabia and she sends us stuffs from there. One of the …
Campbells Chicken & Stars Soup
There is something about Campbell’s Chicken & Stars Soup that makes it one of the best chicken soups I have ever tasted. I do not know if its the fact I was brought up on this soup and it brings back fond memories or if its just the best …
Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips Salad
The Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips Salad is easily my favorite of the Chick-fil-A salad offerings. A main reason is because in this salad comes my favorite kind of chicken: the kind that has a crispy, seasoned, exterior. At least Chick-fil-A prepares these strips in peanut oil, so they are a little …
Celeste Pizza for One
Celeste brand has been around for a long time, and they were one of the first old time companies to come along with a pizza sized for just one person. Celeste Pizza for One can be baked in an oven or for those in a hurry, microwaved.

Pinahs - Original Snack Mix
Pinahs - Original Snack Mix is something that I find relatively enjoyable to munch on from time to time. This snack mix is a mixture of a number of flavors, like garlic, a blend of vegetables, salt and onion. I would not say that this snack mix is delicious, …
Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles
Stouffer’s Escalloped Chicken & Noodles is probably a meal that I will not purchase again. The reason I will likely not purchase it again is because I did not find the combination meal to be all that satisfying. It even upset my stomach a little. I think there was …
Ritz 100 Calorie Snack Packs
Dieting has come a long way in recent years in offering great tasting foods with few calories. One fad that has been catching on and gaining momentum is the portion controlled way of dieting. Basically, you’re eating real food that tastes great but you’re just limiting yourself to regular …
Blue Bunny Champ! Banana Split Ice Cream Cones
I found this Blue Bunny Champ! Banana Split Ice Cream Cones to be a satisfactory treat, although admittedly, I did expect more from this ice cream cone. The vanilla ice cream, for one, just was not as good as it normally is. Generally, Blue Bunny has pretty tasty vanilla …

Blue Bunny Double Fudge Bars
Blue Bunny Double Fudge Bars is an alright treat that I am sure chocolate lovers will like, but I personally find simply satisfactory. The reason I find these fudge bars to be only satisfactory is because, for one thing, I am not all that crazy about fudge. I do …
Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups
I had bought Newman’s Own Organics Dark Chocolate Peppermint Cups a while back. Not sure how long, but it was at least 5 months because I had moved since then and misplaced them. I had never before tasted them; this was the first and only time I …

Archer Farms Italian Roast coffee
It’s strange, when I lived in Austin, Texas or even Houston I rarely drank coffee but ever since I moved to a small town in Arkansas I’ve had a cup almost every morning. At first I just bought Folgers but then one day as I was walking through the …

Healthy Choice Café Steamers Roasted Beef Merlot
I’ve tried many of the Café Steamers because I think the product design is an ingenious idea. They have managed to healthify the original calorie-packed, rich dishes that we all love. Yes, there is considerable less fat and calories, not to mention sodium and cholesterol; also, they …

Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage
Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Sausage is merely a decent breakfast meal. It could most certainly be tastier and a higher quality, but as is, it is edible and mildly enjoyable as long as I add a few things to the meal, like scrambled eggs and a bagel. Only then …
Fit & Active Apple Cinnamon Fruit & Grain Cereal Bars
I bought these cereal bars once after trying the very delicious blueberry cereal bars from Fit & Active, but I was pretty disappointed that the apple cinnamon filling. Although the cereal bars were not completely devoid of apple cinnamon flavor, there really was not a rich, deep apple cinnamon …

Bird’s Eye Voila: Three Cheese Chicken
Bird’s Eye Viola three cheese chicken is another meal I wanted to try, and mainly because it had the word “cheese” in the title. As far as I’m concerned, you can’t go wrong with noodles and cheese.
The thing I liked about the three cheese chicken is that I didn’t …
Sprouts Farmers Market Honey Wheat Pretzels

Breyers Chocolate Chip is one that I found to be disappointing. The reason I found it to be disappointing is because there really was not a whole lot of chocolate chips decorating the vanilla ice cream. I was hoping that the ice cream would be loaded with rich chocolate …

The sunpure sunflower oil is very good oil, which I have been using since 6 years in my daily cooking. Actually since I am using this oil the dishes, which I prepare, are becoming very tasty and also light. Because the sunflower oil does not contain much …
EDO Koala Chocolate Biscuits
I just recently bought some biscuits and small snacks for midnight cravings from the Japan Home store. There were some great selections but I zeroed in on the EDO snacks area. There were a lot of variants but I saw the EDO Koala chocolate biscuits. The packaging was cute, …
Thorntons Delightfully Soft Milk Chocolate Caramels
I picked up this packet of milk chocolate caramels, not noticing that it was Thorntons chocolate, from a wide choice at Morrisons supermarket. The packet is red and did not look particularly special, apart from the Thorntons logo showing that it is made by those chocolate specialists I …

Gardenia White Bread Classic
I seldom eat breakfast. If ever I would, it’s something light like bread and chocolate drink. This is of the reasons why I don’t miss out on buying bread every time I go to the groceries because it’s something that I can just grab for a quick meal or …
Hostess 100 calorie pack cakes
I like the Hostess 100 calorie pack chocolate cakes. They come 6 packs in a box. You get three little mini cakes in a package. It has 3 grams of fat, 5 grams of fiber, and 22 carbohydrates. Not too bad for a snack. I can even …
Chahine Supermarket
I spent my weekend driving around Calgary stocking up on ingredients for ethnic dishes that I was planning to cook over the next weeks. One of the joys of Calgary is the many ethnic markets in the city, and the best Middle Eastern market, in my opinion and according …
Lidl Economy Orange Marmalade
As I am cutting back on the amount I spend on shopping at the moment, when I wanted a marmalade the other day I risked a very low-priced marmalade from the bargain supermarket, Lidl. For your usual 454g sized jar I only paid a ridiculously low 28 pence …
