I was given a bag of Rold Gold Pretzels: Dark Dipped Bavarian twist to try from a friend who is in love with pretzels. Being that I am a person who loves trying new things, I couldn’t turn down her offer. I actually have never previously had crunchy pretzels …

I’ll admit, I used to be a Ragu person. I thought there could be no better pasta sauce in a jar than Ragu (although I did on occasion buy Classico, but it was a tad more expensive).
Primo’s Hot and Spicy Pasta Sauce, though, is an excellent treat. …

When I went to the mall the other day I had no idea what to have for lunch. I always have Kentucky Fried Chicken or Chicken Noodles. I decided I would have something different. I headed over to Caesar’s and had a look at their buffet spread. I saw …

We are all extremely fond of butter. I love eating everything with a layer of butter. My children even eat biscuits topped with butter. Butter is said to change the taste of food to quite an extent. The food prepared in butter tastes better that that prepared in other …

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, …

There are so many cooking oils out there that it really isn’t an easy thing picking out one. For that reason, I did some research on what is considered the “healthiest” oils to cook with and my research revealed that canola oil is generally considered to be about the …

Knowing that our cholesterol levels are up in my family, we decided to focus on adding in more fiber to our diets. One easy solution was Fiber One Fruit Flavored Toaster Pastries by General Mills. We decided to try out the Strawberry flavor first because we all love Strawberry …

The great taste of a coke without the calories. Coca Cola zero tastes just like a regular coke, but it doesn’t have the calories of one. Much better than diet soft drinks, or previous attempts as low calorie sodas. This one tastes like the real thing.
I tried drinking …

I love Dr. Pepper! It is honestly one of my favorite soft drinks of all time. I try to avoid soda most of the time, but Dr. Pepper gives me that tingly, fizzy, sweet-but-not-too-sweet type of taste that I crave sometimes. Pepsi and Coke don’t have …

Today I had an amazing meal at Jollibee. Not that I hated or loved their meals but it was just today that I truly enjoyed the Palabok and Chicken Meal I had with this local fast food chain. Well of course I have had this but it is today …

I have a new obsession - Marty’s Cracklin’ Vegetarian Chicharon (Cracklings) Plain Salted Flavor under the brand name of Oishi. This is manufactured by Liwayway Marketing in the Philippines. It comes in 26g snack size pack and 90g party size pack. This is packaged in foil …

Since I started learning how to cook Indian dishes I was looking for a very good and helpful ingredient that is really of great help to me in the kitchen until I stumbled upon Schwartz curry powder in Tesco store. Since preparing a curry is not a very …

I really like to buy Tyson Chicken nuggets and patties for my family. Of course the nuggets are a favorite with the kids and I love the patties. I like to get Tyson instead of generic or other brands because I try to by the products that are most …

A friend who came all the way from Guam gave me a box of GUAM Imported Australian Macademia Nut Pieces Covered in Milk Chocolate. At first I thought the chocolate has not much difference from the ordinary ones. But I was wrong, as I tasted one my eyes …

When it comes to pasta, I am pretty particular but I have to say that this product is a good one. The noodles when cooked right are soft. They need to be salted or they are tasteless but that is the same with most pastas. Also, if you overcook …

There is really nothing all that wonderful or impressive about Mrs. Freshley’s Glazed Cake Donuts, aside from the fact that the donut itself is actually a pretty good size. Everything else is really pretty much on the average side. The amount of glazed icing found on the donut is …

I’ve been a longtime loyal customer of Twinings tea and my favorite variety was their blackcurrant flavor tea. Recently, I went to order some and discovered that there were complaints about the product because apparently it’s name and formulation have been changed. Nobody seems to like the new …

For me, Jell-o Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake is a real seasonal treat! While I’m not a fan of every single Jell-o product on the shelf, as I’ve found the line of products to be hit or miss at times, wondering how the flavor on the packaging could be …

Pillsbury Grands Flaky Cinnamon Twists are a sweet and tasty after dinner treat that I look forward to every Sunday night. Now I love cinnamon, and these Twists have seemingly layers of it interlaced with the flaky soft dough. The surgery frosting excites my taste buds too. These Twists …

I learned about this product when I got married because my husband who is paranoid about diets, is very persistent that I should not buy any ingredients that have MSG . I couldn’t find any soy sauce in store that time that doesn’t have MSG and because in …

I decided to try Lean Pockets Three Cheese and Broccoli after finding them on sale at my local Kroger for $2. I am normally not a fan of Hot Pockets because I am a vegetarian and there aren’t many flavors that don’t have meat in them. I …

One of my favorite breakfasts is the Kellogg’s rice krispies because I find its texture and sweetness just fine. I usually have it with a glass of fresh milk which I more often than not poured down on the bowl of crispy rice cereal. I guess this …

Goya is a local chocolate brand here in the Philippines. As a child it was one of the brands my mom gave me. I think it’s less popular to the kids of the new generation though. In its effort to reintroduce the brand they produced new variety to …

So it seems like nowadays more brands are getting on what I like to call the band wagon of Macaroni and cheese. There’s so many variations out there that sometimes it can get a little overwhelming. Many of us are big fans of Kraft, and know nothing else. I’m …

I am chocolate’s number one fan. Yes, many would like to claim the same but I can state with forthright confidence that it’s me. I really I am the Queen of Chocolate consumption. It’s usually my downfall when I’m trying to live a healthier lifestyle. …

What I love about Hostess Twinkies is that they are a very simple dessert treat. I like the fact that they are almost like an eclair in shape and style but without chocolate. They are elongated sponge cakes with cream in the beginning, the middle, and the end of …

I am always harping on about the bargains I can find at supermarkets when they reduce the prices of their bakery goods at the end of the day as you can find great bargains. The food is not stale, it is just that they have to sell certain …

This yakult was made a many years …

I never know how to cook until I went abroad to work. I had no choice, it’s either eating out, which is more expensive, or cooking at home. Eating out is not only more expensive, but I have to eat the same food over and over again. So I …

This Tesco Swirly Chocolate Sundae was my pudding tonight and it was OK. Not fantastic, just OK. I thought generally that it tasted somewhat cheap and processed. According to the label, it contains freshly whipped cream but I thought the cream tasted a bit like the …

A lot of hot chocolate mixes actually don’t mix well, and then you get either lumps of powder that float to the top, or a big gloppy mess on the bottom. But this mix mixes right in, and I find it very easy to use - you just stir …

I truly hate consuming energy drinks because of all the bad publicity they get and because I know of people who have either died or gotten very ill as a result. The only time I drink them these days is unless I truly have no choice, which means I’m …

I am one of those shoppers who is not afraid to try a generic product if the price is right! One product I recently tried was our store’s generic version of Raisin Bran Cereal, best Choice Bran Cereal with Raisins. I am the only one in my …

Metromint - Spearmint Water is really flavorful and superbly refreshing! The slight sweetness of this water makes it really very addicting and I just cannot help but take another drink and another drink and even more! Before I realize it, the bottle will be empty! Flavors like this make …

Well, we had a steak dinner last night and I was getting sick of potatoes (we had them three nights in a row) so I ended up digging through my pantry for something else.
I ended up finding cornbread stuffing mix from the brand Chef’s Cupboard.
This is a generic brand …

Once this Chinese dish was only available in Chinese restaurants. Now, it is being sold practically everywhere. Businesses have jumped on the bandwagon with each providing their own competitive advantage over the other.
For those who are not familiar with the food, it is raw noodle stir fried in …

I really love Japanese foods. Even at home, we eat and cook food in Japanese way. But when it comes to Japanese fast foods, I have a lot in my mind but I would prefer Okuya because Okuya is quite cheaper than other Japanese fast food chains. Japanese restaurants …

I’ve bought this sausage on special one time when I saw it on sale from Tesco Supermarket. One thing really that catches out my attention was that it was a chili sausage and since I love chili food I decided to get it. I right away cooked …

My wife and I love Chinese food and, as a result of that, we tend to eat a lot of egg rolls.
Yesterday, we opted to have Chinese for lunch and, while at the store buying several products, I ended up picking up a box of Asian Style Sensations egg …

While running errands one day, I stopped off at Target’s in-store Lunch Counter for a quick meal. I’ve eaten there in the past on occasion, but I hadn’t been there for several months. They used to serve French fries and a tasty chicken breast sandwich, but that is long …

I love to bake and semi-sweet chocolate chips are a necessary ingredient in many of my culinary creations. That said, lately I have been unable to find my usual brand of semi-sweet chocolate chips and have been forced to finally try the IGA brand that has seemed to take …

Ever since I was young, I am a regular eater of biscuits. To love a biscuit is part of being a child. I mostly bring along Sky Flakes on my bag. It is only for emergency purpose, just in case I get hungry on my way home and going …

Peppermint flavored bottle water is a real treat to drink! I love the refreshing and flavor of peppermint mints, and now, having peppermint infused with water is another way that I can appreciate the rich and soothing peppermint flavor! This flavored water is really quite addicting. I have no …

I love the McDonald’s Grilled Ranch Chicken Snack Wraps. These chicken wraps are also my daughter’s favorite and this is how I came to find out about them. I am actually not a huge fan of chicken as it is, but in trying to eat alittle healthier, …

Product Description: A microwavable family-sized dinner consisting of slices of turkey in a turkey gravy.
What I liked about this product: Even though my wife and I prefer making meals from scratch, we don’t always have the time to do so and, because of that, are always searching for items …

After I started some Anti-biotic tablets which was only for a week, I began to eat lots of yogurt to balance out the bacterial culture in my digestive system. After I finished the anti-biotic treatment I still continued eating yogurt at least every other day because I noticed it …

This is great pasta from Tesco’s own brand because it is so easy to cook and it just refuses to get stuck together. I am not a patient cook and sometimes I even forget to stir my pasta as I get involved in something else, but I have …
