Marble Slab Creamery
I have never found an ice-cream store in North America that comes close to the gelato in Italy, but I keep looking. Last week, I think I found the best ice-cream I have tasted in Canada at Marble Slab Creamery in Chinook Mall in Calgary, Alberta. From the outside, …
Mrs. Freshley’s Peach Pie
I did not care for Mrs. Freshley’s Peach Pie all that much. The reason that I did not care for it is because the peach flavor was not what I was expecting. Although I am really not all that crazy about peaches, I do enjoy having them once and …
Kellog Special K: Pastry Crisps
I gave these pastry crisps a try one day when sitting in class, listening to the teacher give a lecture. My friend shared them with me, as we both missed breakfast that morning. They were utterly new to me, I had previously never seen the product before. My friend …
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Cones
I love my ice cream, and I’m serious about wanting it to taste good. However, as I get older I find myself being more and more health conscious. Sitting down to a big bowl of calorie-laden ice cream isn’t as viable as I was when I was …
Knorr Orange Soup
I bought Knorr Orange Soup at the same time I purchased Knorr Red Soup. Both were on sale for $1.99 at my local grocery store, and I have to say the sight of those fresh spring carrots on the front of the box of Orange Soup looked very appealing.
I …
Chips Ahoy - Big Pack
Recently, I purchased the Chips Ahoy - Big Pack as I call it. It’s a large box that contains four packages of 12-ounce packages of Chips Ahoy! cookies. I made the purchase at Sam’s Club. The reason for the buy was that not only do I …
360 Organic Whole Wheat Pasta
I thought I was making the healthy choice when I purchased this pasta from my local health food store. I guess long term this pasta may be a little heathier for me than my traditional bowtie pasta purchase, but it is also disguisting.
Theres something just a little off about …
Senseo Barista Blends
I just tried Barrista Blends. It is a product that you blend with your coffee to add some extra flavor. I tried the carmel macchiato, and found it to be very satisfying. The flavor is just right, and mixes deliciously. It’s perfect for all you coffee …
Cerelac Food For Babies
Babies can be sometimes choosy when it comes to the meal you prepared for them. I know, because I once became a baby sitter for my 8 months old cousin. It was just for a day though, and I must say that my baby sitting went well. I am …
Pringles Select Potato Crisps - Sun Dried Tomato
I did not really care all that much for these Pringles Select Potato Crisps Sun Dried Tomato. They are most certainly quite crunchy and thick, more so than regular potato chips. The main problem is, there is not a whole lot of delicious flavor to be enjoyed here. There …
Al mawakeb nuts Chakly
I have first tasted Al mawakeb nuts–Mixture. I really impressed with that mixture as it is fresh and spicy. That is why this time I have purchased Chakly from the same company Al mawakeb nuts. I liked their taste also. Chakly are coil shaped spicy snacks with crispy and …
The Glory of Five Roses Tea
Aah Five Roses tea…. The very flavor of home and comfort. I have been drinking this tea since I was a wee young thing, running around the house with my tea bottle hanging from my lips - 3 parts milk to 1 part tea. Morning, noon, …
Homemade Hot Chocolate
I am a devoted fan of hot chocolate, and I will drink it all year long no matter what the temperature is. And sure there are plenty of brands of instant hot chocolate packed away in paper packages that need nothing more than to just add water. However, ever …
Mountain Dew Kickstart
As someone who downs at least two energy drinks a day, I would consider myself something of an expert on the various brands of caffeinated canned beverages. Mountain Dew’s Kickstart is a refreshing change of pace from the energy drinks we’ve all become accustomed to. Say goodbye to …
3 Muskateers Candy Bar
A big favorite in my household, both as a child and as an adult, has been the 3 Muskateers Candy Bar. This is a light, fluffy candy treat, one that is whipped up to perfection much of the time. It’s milk chocolate on chocolate, and that equals …
Boar’s Head Reduced Sodium Turkey Breast
I have long since given up buying pre-packaged cold cuts for sandwiches. For this reason, I have decided to buy freshly deli-sliced turkey breast for all my sandwiches. I visited my local Kroger and had them slice the reduced sodium Boar’s Head turkey breast. …
Sabra Hummus
I am a huge fan of hummus and try out every different variety that comes across. Recently, I have been looking for outside suggestions on what brand of this wonderful product is most authentic and delicious and it seems that the general consensus has landed on Sabra Hummus. And …
Tang Fruit Punch Drink Mix
Last Wednesday, I was looking for a fairly cheap drink mix to buy in the supermarket, since I wasn’t sure there was any drink at home to have with my dinner. I also wanted one with sugar pre-added to it, since I was also unsure of whether or not …
Orbit Citrusmint Gum
I’m always looking for a good gum to chew after eating a quick lunch and then returning to work. I don’t have time to brush my teeth but hate to have breath that isn’t fresh, especially in the workplace. I’ve tried Trident gum before and although it works really …
Oishi Cheese - Soaked Snack Sponge Crunch
What Made Me Try the Product:
I am a lover of cheese snacks — cheese bread, cheese cake, cheese spread and junk foods in cheese flavor. What I particularly love when it comes to cheese flavored junk foods is Planters Cheese Balls. I was craving for it one …
Fun&Yum Paldo Kimchi Flavor Instant Ramen
I bought this ramen at an Asian food store, and the packaging is interesting - red plastic with Korean all over it, with some French as well. I bought it because I liked the package! Something I thought was funny was that even though its a Korean instant noodle …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Chocolate
Although Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Chocolate is certainly an enjoyable and refreshing treat, it is not quite as rich and creamy as the premium homemade chocolate ice cream, also made by Blue Bunny. This original ice cream does not have quite as strong and delicious of a chocolate …

Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Parmesan
No other company that manufactures and sells Texas Toast in my area carries anything similar to this flavor of Texas Toast made by Pepperidge Farm. I tried this Texas Toast once and I was real impressed with the flavor of it. This Texas Toast has a parmesan topping that …
Nestle White Lily Milk
I am a person who loves my milk and when I was younger I used to drink Nestle’s White Lily milk quite often. The quality back then was very rich and worth the money. But as time progressed the quality dropped but the prices raised.
The other day I …
Nescafe Clasico Instant Coffee
Nescafe Clasico Instant Coffee
Everyone who knows me knows that I love coffee and I am very choosey about it. I was never a fan of instant coffee but I am a fan of a good bargain.
I signed up for a free sample of Nescafe and a coupon thinking …
Cheerios Snack Mix
Cheerios Snack Mix is a nice little snack mix that can satisfy hunger pangs. I like Cheerios the cereal, and was not very sure about Cheerios as a snack mix. Cheerios the cereal is very healthy and many kids grew up on it, so why create a snack mix? …
Bubblicious Watermelon Bubble Gum
I like to chew gum on ocassion, in order to keep my jaws busy. I have never stuck to one brand or type of gum and will try anyone of them at least once. The last time I went to buy some gum I was looking for the …
Nestle Bar One chocolates
The chocolates are the weakness of all the cute little children. Same way even my kids love to eat a lot of chocolates. But the brand of the chocolates, which my children love to eat always, is the Nestle bar one chocolates. These yummy chocolates are …
Sidekicks Mexican Rice 150g package
I am a huge fan of Knorr Lipton products, and have always had a minor addiction with their Sidekicks line of side dishes. Being sick and tired of every kind of potato under the sun, I decided to buy Sidekicks Mexican Rice in a 150 gram package at my …
100 Calorie Snack Pack of Chocolate Covered Pretzel’s
While I love my healthy foods, and the good feeling that comes from eating them, I crave chocolate, sweet, salty good treats just as much. The 100 Calorie Snack Pack of chocolate covered pretzels are very satisfying for all of the cravings people can get for foods without having …
Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Wine (2007)
This is a great tasting wine. I gave it to quite a few friends at a party and every single one of them said they enjoyed the taste. It’s a tasty wine, and the alcoholic and acidic content is down to a minimum - indeed, it’s probably the closest …
Coconut Brand Soy Sauce
Chinese people love cooking with soy sauce, fishes are steamed with soy sauce, pork, soy chicken, almost everything can be a meal in an instant with a soy sauce at home. It just solves the problem in cooking. Filipino dishes also have soy sauce in them one good example …
Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Neapolitan
I will not be purchasing Blue Bunny Original Ice Cream Neapolitan a second time because all three flavors that are a part of this triple combination are really quite bland compared to their premium ice cream counterparts. The vanilla is not nearly as good as the all-natural vanilla, the …
Boost health drink
Boost is a very healthy, energy drink which can be mixed with the milk and sugar. The taste of this drink is very good. The Boost just tastes like the chocolate drink, so naturally it is the favorite for my kids. The boost has all the …
Albertsons’ Crab Cakes
For as long as I can remember I’ve been buying Albertsons’ crab cakes since they started putting them out. I like their crab cakes because they are not manufactured or prepackaged, but because they are freshly hand made daily and precooked.
What first attracted me to Albertsons’ crab cakes was …
Pepperidge Farm Texas Toast Garlic
I don’t see what’s so special about the Texas Toast from Pepperidge Farm. I never purchased the Texas Toast made by this company because it’s over three dollars a box until one day it was on sale for two dollars a box. I bought all four varieties because I …
Little Caesars large pepperoni pizza
Little Caesars large pepperoni pizza is cheapest pizza with enough meat and pepperoni. They pizza costs only five dollar and its size is good enough. For five dollars there was no much choice for the bread. The usual bread was not anyways. Little Caesars outlet is not seen at …
Hamburger Helper Crunchy Taco
My family eats a lot of hamburger when finances are tight. I would not consider hamburger helper to be a gourmet meal but it is affordable. It costs around $2 for the box plus whatever you paid for the hamburger. For me this meal including meat …

Among all the chocolates Lindt are really one of those that I can’t resist. I like chocolate but Lindt is a special kind of chocolate, they have different kinds of chocolates but as I like dark chocolate Lindt Berne is one of my favourite. Lindt Berne small chocolate comes …
Knorr Homestyle Stock in Beef
I just love Knorr products having bought many of their packaged products over the years. I kept seeing the commercials for the Knorr Homestyle Stock, and I just loved how this stock looked different from any other kind I had ever tried. The fact that it was designed exclusively …
Crunchy Tacos
Taco Bell’s Crunchy Tacos are absolutely amazing. They have a taste that you will for sure never forget. Its so delicious and makes my mouth water just thinking about them. Its a taco shell combined with delicious meat, creamy cheese and letuce. I defenitely recommend everyone trying this product. …
Nescafe Cappuccino (decaffeinated)
I like a good coffee. But, in my mind, cappuccino isn’t really “coffee” proper - to me, it’s more of a “dessert”, or more accurately, a comfort drink. The problem is, sometimes I feel I really need more than one such comfort drink - and then caffeine starts piling up.
Luckily …
Yamasa Zaru Soba Dipping Sauce
We got our Yamasa Zaru Soba dipping sauce at the local grocery (Robinson’s Metro East mall) for around Php 140. I’ve also seen some available at the grocery at Megamall and UniMart Greenhills. It is packaged in a 330ml bottle which has a sticker that says “Yamasa Zaru Soba …
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 …
Little Debbie Easter Basket Cakes - Vanilla
I find these Little Debbie Easter Basket Cakes - Vanilla variety to be a rather simple yet most definitely delicious treat to have ncome the Easter season. It is a shame that these are only available around the time of Easter as they are quite enjoyable! I really like …
Colombina Snow Mint candy
I am not usually a fan of things that are mint flavoured, especially mint flavoured candy. That is why when my mother offered me a Colombina Snow Mint candy I nearly declined. However, because it did not look like one of the usual mint candies I was used to …
Annie Chun’s Udon Soup Bowl
I decided to try this “All Natural Asian Cuisine” Soup only partially because of the meal it provides. It came in its own microwave bowl, and I thought it might be reusable enough to microwave my customary bowl of morning oatmeal. When I spotted it in the grocery section …
Tai Hing Black Fungus Mushroom
I’m a person who really likes mushrooms. I do have a variety of mushrooms in my cupboard for the purpose of including them in different recipes. I do have shitake mushroom in can, button mushroom and this black fungus mushroom by Tai Hing.
The black fungus mushroom which is dried …
Kroger bagels are Yummy for Breakfast
I really like the fresh blueberry bagels from my local Kroger bakery. They are just the right combination of soft and chewy.
The reason they are so good is that I can eat them straight from the package or toast them with a little butter. Since mornings are always so …
