Potato Chips Mesquite BBQ from the USA

The best part I don't need to travel to the United States to buy a bag of chips. I can just purchase it online in the Philippines. My friends tell me I didn't know the Philippines carry chips imported to us this is the best way to just shop away and have it delivered to our home. I've always been a fan of barbecue flavored chips and finding this in Herr's Potato Chips Mesquite BBQ is something I can look forward too. Right now I feel like making a sandwich to eat with my chips this way my leftover ham doesn't go to waste during the Christmas holiday. We can never get tired of eating a sandwich and the way I grew up is not always eating rice. People think if you live in the Philippines we only eat rice not really true there are people like me who grew up can cope eating food what the American do. It is just how we all grew up and what our parents feed us since I grew up in the United States. I tend to look for food coming back during the time I grew up. Chips was alw...

Jalapeno Poppers Flavored Cheese Curls and Buffalo Blue Cheese Flavored Cheese Curls

The best part eating snacks is that I only eat a portion of it and don't gain much weight. I have known other people who eat chips every day and the form of their health they end up gaining more pounds going to their stomach. Everyone's body and how much you consume on your food is all based on you how well you can control how much you can consume your food. I have a lot of people who always question me for all the food ventures I have been doing why is that I haven't gain so much weight. To their question is that I control how much I eat and only eat it by portion. I taught myself from my mind the way I think I can control myself. Anyone can do it too it is how motivated you put yourself into it. The taste is great not spicy there is a cheese flavor balance out from eating the curls. I have a friend who says the food is calling them. It is funny food cannot really talk it is just your brain playing tricks on you or an excuse just for you to eat the food that is in front of...

Prima Laksa and Chili Crab both from La Mian Premium Instant Noodles

  To have the taste from Singapore my favorite is laksa and chili crab noodles either way you get to eat something at home only cooked the instant way. There are other ways to make your instant noodles not taste fully coming from the package you can add other ingredients for example I would add fresh shrimp in my laksa soup. In your kitchen you can make an ordinary meal out of products you have purchase online to taste differently in what you're craving. Don't expect the prices to be inexpensive per piece range from PHP 178.00 ($3.56) to compare traveling there would be costly when you think about it. Some other sellers sell it for PHP 200.00 ($4.00) per piece. All I can say when you see it available grab it or else you will regret it later soon it will be out of stock. What is the taste of the Prima Laksa La Miam Premium Instant Noodles? You can taste the coconut in the soup and being spicy from the chili sauce some people find it too rich for me it is just right. What is the ...

Which bag of chips defines who you are from the taste and flavor?

  Which bag of chips defines who you are from the taste and flavor? Every day we have a different mood in what flavor of chips we prefer to eat and no matter what when you eat a small portion of chips you get to limit how much you consume in one meal. I remember growing up in California my mom would make me a sandwich and would put a bag of chips in my lunch bag going to school. Eating our packed lunch made by our parents we tend to eat the chips either alone or with our sandwich and today I was craving for chips imported from the States. My favorite chips are the following Funyuns, Lays Barbecue and Doritos Cool Ranch. Did you know they don't often sell Funyuns in the Philippines?   It is difficult to find it here and when you do we can purchase it from Juty Free Philippines or S&R. Most of time when I visit my hometown my best friend would always make sure she would have a bag filled up to give me to bring back home to the Philippines. I was able to find the last bag fro...

Which cold cut are you craving to make a sandwich?

  Which cold cut are you craving to make a sandwich? The meat I am craving for is pastrami in which I use to buy at a deli in California called Togo's even though I had worked for Subway Sandwiches when I was young. Just like anyone else we eat from our competitor we tend to go toward a deli that also sells sandwiches. We are not a spy just that the fact the way they make their sandwiches is different as well their supplier of cold cuts comes from someone else. No matter where you purchase your sandwiches whatever ingredients inside determines what you crave for and it just satisfy your stomach in what you feel like eating that day. For me Togo's is out of my reach due I live in the Philippines instead I found a place where to purchase it online through Grab Mart via application in my area. The place I was able to buy was at Builtamart in New Manila . Aguila Beef Pastrami Aguila Pepperoni 250g is PHP 193.00 ($3.86) or 500g PHP 386.00 ($7.72) Aguila Lyoner Olive 250g PHP 171.00 ...

The Old School of Reminding Yourself

For those who are not use too using their calendar on their phone, computer and tablet often people who are not literate in using gadgets prefer writing down what events will occur as their daily reminder. My mom is in that old generation where everything has to be noted down on paper calendar to her it is useful in other ways of life people get accustom to jot it down. People who are in the technology would prefer to type it on our phone to remind us to hear a notification on our gadgets. Every end of the month of November my mom would always request me to look for a Hallmark pocket calendar this year it is not available in order to fulfill my mom's wish list of what she wanted this year was to find something similar to what she is use too. Gladly I was able to purchase it online in Lazada a store that carried paper materials that had my mom's paper pocket calendar from  Papemelroti  made in the Philippines .

What is the taste of Gold Medal Taiwan Beer from other beer products?

What is the taste of Gold Medal Taiwan Beer from other beer products? I was able to take a sip of the beer to see what was the difference from other beer products it doesn't have an after taste of sour bread from other beers I have tasted in the past I asked an expert who drinks beer often. Manang V said it is light and can drink by itself without adding any chaser with it. Every time Manang V drinks any beer made in the Philippines she will always mix it with Coke for her chaser. What ingredient is in Taiwan beer? The ingredients are water, malt, ponlai rice and hops. The best part being made of ponlai rice doesn't affect those who want to drink who have arthritis or gout they can still walk the next day. Taiwan beer has an alcohol level of 5% not too strong. Although it is 5% you can slowly get tipsy in which Manang V had told me after she had finished one can on her own. I had purchased the Gold Medal Taiwan Beer from  Hongkong_house  for the price per can PHP 6...

Atkins Low Carb Living Meat Lasagna

  A funny thing happened when a family member ate the  Atkins Low Carb Living Meat Lasagna didn't realize they are eating something healthy. The person said why was it light but the taste was delicious not realize it is low carbohydrates for someone who is not on a diet can eat it. Sometimes we don't pay any attention to the content of the box we tend to just over pass and look at the picture of the frozen meals that are place in the freezer. When hunger strike us we pay less attention to what to read from the box we just cook it up in the microwave to solve from being hungry at that moment. I had purchased Atkins Low Carb Living Meat Lasagna at S&R online shopping for the price of PHP 269.00 ($5.38). Note: I am not advertising Atkins Low Carb Living Meat Lasagna.
