Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew
The first time I tasted Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew it took my breath away. It had a very strong ginger flavor and was delightful. There is little comparison between Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew and regular ginger ales. Store brands, Canada Dry, and Scheppes, are pale imitations of what a …
Tiet Canh (Vietnamese Blood Jello)
Tiet Canh is a traditional Vietnamese delicacy. It is extremely hard to find in restaurant due to its undesirable texture and contents. Usually, the only place to have a taste of this dish is in a traditional Vietnamese household. There are several types of ingredient to this dish. The …
Cohiba Cigars
Most cigar aficionados agree that Cohiba cigars are simply the best there is. A trip to Cuba is a must for anyone wishing to enjoy the taste and smell of good cigars without going broke, but if you are willing to spend the money, you can find good Cuban …
Digiorno 12″ Rising Crust Spinach and Mushroom
This was a disappointing pizza put out by Digiorno. The spinach topping hardly contributed any flavor to this pizza. Perhaps if more spinach had been used, this pizza would have actually had a real spinach flavor to it rather than a fleeting spinach flavor that did very little for …
Chef Boyardee Cheese Pizza Kit
I first tried Chef Boyardee pizza as a child, which was many years ago. I would always get excited when I was grocery shopping with my mother and she bought a Chef Boyardee pizza kit, because making the pizza together was a special treat. I really enjoyed …
Wyke Farms Ivy’s Vintage Reserve Cheddar Cheese
This is supposed to be —˜cheese for the connoisseur’, a vintage cheese that, as the box says, —˜was worthy of its place alongside the vintage port’. I must eat cheese every day but I am not sure I am a connoisseur, but this is a lovely cheese and …
Starkist Tuna Creations: Hickory Smoked
I like tuna, but sometimes opening and draining a can is annoying. The liquid spills out and the can sometimes can cut a person’s fingers. Therefore, I like the new invention of tuna in a pouch rather than a can. Starkist Tuna Creations: Hickory Smoked Tuna came in a …
Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Lemon Cupcakes
I find Mrs. Freshley’s SnackAway Mini Lemon Cupcakes to be a tasty treat to have once or twice a week. The cupcakes are soft and moist, and the lemon flavor is quite flavorful and authentic. Inside of each cupcake, there is a white creme center that is quite rich …

Continuing on with my holiday-season-stealing of my folks store-bought cookie arsenal (see my previous post on Spaans Lemon Chiffon cookies for more context) next up, Spaans Ginger Bars Sugar Free Cookies.
On the plus side once again, as apparently customary with Spaans’ packaging, you get a whole 10 oz tub …
CO FRESH, Spicy Balti Mix
I am from Asia and always like tasty food with loads of spices. When I came abroad and settled here ,the thing I miss a lot is spicy food. I find different kind of spicy nimco(savoury Noodles with other stuff) in store but most of them are saltish …
Goya Cream White Chocolate
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 …

Hershey’s Nuggets Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate with Toffee and Almonds
I love chocolate. I like simple mild chocolate that is rich and smooth. I want it to be creamy. I also like nuts, particularly almonds and I love toffee.
Hershey’s Nuggets Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate with Toffee and Almonds is great. It fills all three of my confectionary wants. It …
V8 V-Fusion and Energy: Peach and Mango Energy Drink
V8 is one of those lovely brands that I grew up with as a younger girl. Initially, it was mostly known for it’s vegetable juice, but as the years passed they have come along with fruit juices and energy drinks, and some in between. I personally enjoy their products, …
Dasani Bottled Water 20 oz
I was told by my doctor that I was consuming too much caffiene, and I needed to drink more water– and he recommended plain water, which I almost universally hate. I have found a brand that I can deal with. When I lamented about my diet …
Little Jack Horner Homemade Meat Pies
I will admit that I am a fan of meat pies. Yes, I did have them as a kid, but as an adult, I have rediscovered this wonderful meal. Of course, I have not yet and do not plan to actually cook or bake this dish myself, and I do …

Brisk Iced Tea: Lemon Flavor

Arce Dairy Green Tea Ice Cream
For me, Arce Dairy’s Green Tea ice cream flavor is the best ice cream I ever had, not just because I love drinking green tea and matcha, but it really tastes good! It’s like I am just eating a lightly sweetened green tea. So, If you are craving for …
Little Debbie Mini Donuts Glazed
The Little Debbie Mini Donuts Glazed are fine, although most certainly not outstanding or super scrumptious. The mini-donuts have a relatively light but nonetheless flavorful sugar glaze that surrounds the donut. The donut itself is
fine. They do not taste overly fresh, but I would not exactly say that …
Kohinoor Basmati Rice
I like the presence of rice most in my meal. In fact, I belong to an area which is the best in the production of rice. Nowadays, when I am shifted to the metro, there obviously I cannot hope to get rice from my native place.
The solution is in …
Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza
Stouffer’s is known for providing quality meals that are filling, nutrious, and easy to make. For those, like me, who are not cooking experts, this is the best thing that could happen. The star in Stouffer’s line up is their french bread pizza.
You’d think that pizza is …

Leylam’s Shawarma with Rice Meal
Leylam is just one of the few kiosks that sell one of the best shawarmas in the Philippines. I saw them first in Boracay when I was looking for a cheap thrill food that tastes Mediterranean.
This was my favourite meal of them all, the Shawarma with Rice meal. …
Red Horse Beer by San Miguel
Brewed and bottled by San Miguel Brewery Corp., is actually a strong beer. But why do people consider it as a strong beer? As for my own opinion, they call it strong cause after drinking a couple of bottles or maybe three for the heavy drinkers, it’ll surely put …
Cadbury Snack
Although the Cadbury Snack shortcake biscuits are quite a simple idea, I think they are really tasty and they are one of my favourites, depending on what mood I am in. You buy these in a packet of six small square biscuits totally covered in Cadbury milk chocolate. …
Vanilla Almond Tea
I was passing through my friend’s shop the other day and decided to have a shopping-spree rest. It was my pay day and I wanted to shop for some clothes, but not having the luck yet. And I chit-chatted awhile with her, whilst she was at the same …
Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun
I must say, Mrs. Freshley’s Cremey Curl Honey Bun is certainly an interesting variety that I did not think existed! This honey bun really does not even look like something I would have for breakfast, and that is typically when I eat honey buns. Inside this honey bun is …
Focaccio with sun dried tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella
Recently I was on the road in Southern Oregon and needed to pick up a quick meal. I stopped at the local Safeway and nothing looked good. Finally, I looked at the pre-made sandwiches near the deli counter.
I expected to find the usually homogenized egg salad on white bread …
Knorr Italian Sides Scampi
This is a delicious Italian Side from Knorr! It’s got this very rich sauce that has a great triple flavor to it: the sauce has a mixture of lemon, garlic and butter! Each of the three flavors really stand out and complement one another pretty well. The garlic seasoning …
Little Salad Bar Caesar Salad Kit
I like buying salad kits because they cut down preparation time in the kitchen for me in terms of cutting up the iceberg lettuce and the many vegetables I like to include. I usually purchase my kits from Publix, but while I was in Aldi’s I stumbled across Little Salad …
Diet Pepsi
Diet Pepsi is perhaps the worst diet soda on the market. It always tastes flat and looses any carbonation quickly. It tastes like rancid water, not a soft drink.
On the up side, Diet Pepsi has no calories, fat, etc. If you are on a diet or trying to watch …
Entenmann’s Little Bites 100 Calorie Carrot Crème Snack Cakes
Entenmann’s Little Bites 100 Calorie Carrot Crème Snack Cakes is a treat that I look forward to having from time to time because I find the carrot cake flavor of these snack cakes to be rather delightful! I was pleasantly surprised that the flavor had not been removed along …
Lipton Green Tea

Hostess Mini Muffins Blueberry
While the Hostess Mini Muffins Blueberry variety are certainly more delicious and enjoyable than the chocolate variety, they are still not up to the standard set by Little Debbie and the muffins that they bake and sell. Hostess mini muffins all seem a little on the stale and dry …
Duncan Hines Moist Delux Confetti Cupcakes
I am always in the mood to try new desserts. When I saw that Duncan Hines has a new type of mix I was thrilled to try it out. This new mix is not for cakes however like you might think, but rather, cupcakes. And not just any cupcakes, …
Hooters: Great Service and Food, for once
Last night, my friend and I decided to venture into Hooters. Being from Texas, the local Hooters restaurants are owned under a different company, the Texas Wings Association, and the food quality isn’t so bad. Down south, the food can at least taste better than those bar nachos you …
Chick-fil-A Cafe Blend Coffee
The Cafe Blend Coffee served at Chick-fil-A comes in three flavors: Coffeehouse Light, Bistro Dark and Expressly Decaf. The coffee served at this fast food restaurant seems to be a little stronger and more flavorful than that served at Burger King and Whataburger, although it is similar to McDonald’s …
Starbucks Sumatra Coffee Beans 453 grams
On August 29, 2009, I bought the Starbucks Sumatra coffee beans (1 pound/453 grams) from the Canada Safeway store along King George Highway in the city of Surrey in British Columbia, Canada. It cost me $15.95 inclusive of tax. Although I don’t always buy Starbucks coffee beans, …

Hamburger Helper in Stroganoff
I have bought many Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper products over the years, but the worse one I ever encountered was the Stroganoff. In a hurry to make a quick dinner a few nights ago, I picked up this Stroganoff mixture at my local supermarket for just $1.99CDN.
The mixture on …
