Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Caramel Popcorn Sundae Twirl from Jollibee

When you eat too fast with ice-cream you get a brain freeze last weekend my family had ordered fast food from different places each one of them had new ice-cream sundae. I went along and had ordered them some we're too melted to take a decent picture. Jollibee has a new sundae caramel popcorn never knew you can add popcorn to your vanilla ice-cream. I went ahead to try it to see what kind of combination this is and it is actually yummy. Of course in the Philippines we love to add fries to our dessert which we had ordered a bucket of crisscut fries. To find out what other food to order from Jollibee click at their website: Philippines United States Canada Brunei Note: I am not selling or advertising for Jollibee.

Cauliflower Tater Tots

  My sister was the one who introduce me to cauliflower rice when I was visiting California last year she had informed me in replacement of her white rice. I decided to try Green Giant Veggie Tots made of Cauliflower in replacement of my potato. In the instructions it says to have it place in an oven since I don't have an oven in my home I used a toaster oven. It started to smell and toast for ten minutes for seven pieces. Of course each toaster oven are all different to me I don't like it too brown after smelling I knew it was warm enough to take a bite from it the texture is soft being a cauliflower yet it look like a tater tots if you wanted to fool someone else who doesn't eat vegetables. I had purchased Green Giant Veggie Tots at S&R online shopping.

Jennie Blackpink's Pick Korea Lotte Air Baked Potato Chips

I wanted to know what was so special on the Korea Lotte Air Baked Potato Chips that was being promoted by Blackpink Jennie. Every time I had tried to purchase from Assi Ceci Korean Grocery it was always unavailable this time around I was able to get lucky to finally try the Korea Lotte Air Baked Potato Chips with salt known to be the original. The way I see it look like a tortilla but it is actually a potato chip that is sliced thinly due it is being air baked. It taste like a potato that has been slightly salted. I wasn't able to try the cheese flavor who knows next time when it is available I can taste it. The price of the Korea Lotte Air Baked Potato Chips is PHP 105.00 ($2.10) although other sellers sell it for a higher price that I have seen online. NOT SPONSORED.

Carmina's Favorite Butter Pound Cake

  Sara Lee has always been my favorite brand in dessert that they make my favorite All Butter Pound Cake by eating it alone for breakfast or snack. It is difficult finding it in the Philippines and when it is available I don't hesitant to buy it one day it will be on the hands of someone else. My way I can have a bite of my Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake all over again. No matter if I am living in the Philippines I always find ways to discover the old food I use to eat back home in California. I have purchased Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake at Uni-Mart grocery store in Greenhills or S&R otherwise the price maybe different. To find out other products sold by  Sara Lee  click the name to direct you to their website. Note: I am not selling Sara Lee All Butter Pound Cake.
