Bentley’s English Breakfast Tea
There are so many varieties of tea’s out there, and I have tried many of them. One tea that I find to be particularly delicious and soothing is Bentley’s English Breakfast Tea. It’s great with added ingredients and just fine by itself.
I had thought as a child that this …

Pataks Curry Sauces
I do enjoy a curry, I like to cook them and I like to go out and have one as well but if I did that all the time then I would be out of pocket and probably very overweight. I suppose this is why it’s so great that …
Life Water from SAFEWAY
I just bought a new type, for me, water drink called Life Water, from Safeway. I must say that the fruit tastes are much stronger than those in Propel Bottled health water, or in PowerAde. If you are one who prefers a stronger taste of the fruit in your …
Eskimo Pie Snack Size Ice Cream Bars
Eskimo Pies have been around forever, well, since 1921 anyway, and that’s longer than I’ve been on this Earth, so it’s like forever to me. Recently, they came out with a new snack size product.

Post Grape-Nuts
Post Grape-Nuts are the original little crunchy nuggets made by Post. There are several off brands and recipes available both on line and in the market. None of them come even close to the original. In my opinion, Grape-Nuts are one of the best breakfast cereals on …
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 …
Veetee Dine In Basmati Rice and Mushroom

Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khazana Hot Mango Pickle
I love pickles. Many Indians would agree that no matter how tasty a dish is there is nothing like a bit of pickle to enhance the flavors and give the taste buds a tingling sensation. Not to mention it can rev up a bland and dull dish too.
Well, …
Primo Thick and Zesty Garlic and Herb Pasta Sauce 680 mL
This is my first choice when making any pasta that needs tomato sauce. It’s that good, so I use it almost daily. I’ve had this change in diet lately where I seem to be giving up on rice almost completely.
I was originally from the Philippines and even …
Thomas’ Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Bagels
Year round, there are a variety of different flavored bagels to choose from. Come the autumn season though, there is one flavor in particular that I keep an eye out for. I can enjoy the various other kinds of bagels throughout the rest of the year, but around autumn, …

Chick-fil-A Nuggets
There are some items on the Chick-fil-A menu that are enjoyable, but prove to be items that I do not order again. One such item is the Chick-fil-A Nuggets. The reason I only ordered this menu item once is quite simply because with the Chick-n-Strips on the menu, I …
Silk: Chocolate Soymilk
As a vegan who has experimented with almost all types of main brands of soymilk, I would have to say by far the best tasting one is Silk Chocolate Soymilk.

I started a low carb diet a few weeks ago and finding things that I can drink has been a real challenge. While water makes up most of my liquid intake, sometimes I just need something with a little taste. I have never been a fan of diet soda, …
Arce Dairy Ice Cream
Sugar free is unheard of in most part of the Philippines, and although our population consumes tons of ice cream annually, there are only two brands to choose from. My parents don’t eat ice cream a lot. I don’t know why but they never shared their children’s passion for …

Gavrilovic liver pate
If there’s some food that I really hate that’s liver. I remember my mother was preparing that when I was younger and I hated it and I was making scenes because I didn’t wanna eat it. I still hate it today and I never eat it. Well except in …
Irn Bru by Barr (a Scottish soda import)
Today I got to experience a soft drink from Scotland while having lunch at a new British-styled Fish and Chips shop. I already had English tea, but wanted something more. This particular brand was the only thing they had that was diet. They carry no products that originate in …

Veryfine Fruit-2-O have 0 …
Starbucks Dark Mocha Iced Frappucino
I had tasted the other dark mocha frappucinos such as dark cherry mocha but this is better than the dark cherry mocha. It tastes just like pure dark chocolate with mocha and the iced frappucino just lingers in your throat and it’s such a thick, rich, and creamy drink …
Betty Crocker Wild Blueberry Muffin Mix
Betty Crocker wild blueberry muffin mix is a discovery I just made on my last grocery shopping venture. When it comes to large boxes of muffin mix, I tend to stay away from them because A) I have a preferred muffin mix and 2) there is too much muffin …

Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop
The Blue Bunny Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop is really not that terrific, in my opinion. The reason I am not won over with these bomb pops is because of the flavor. There are supposed to be a multitude of flavors to be found on these bomb pops, but what …
Yamazaki 12-Year Scotch
A Review of Yamazaki 12-year Scotch
I often gravitate toward more sophisticated and classy forms of alcoholic entertainment since nothing soothes the soul and punctuates an evening better than some Frank Sinatra records on my newly purchased new-record-player-for-old-records playing in good ole’ Mono, the smell of tobacco, and a …
Tesco 2 New York Vanilla Cheesecake Slices
