The only thing that my cousin's mother in-law brought back from the United States from her stay was Moniegold Bangkok Sweet Tamarind made in Thailand.

Lately I have been wanted to eat something with salmon but in a soup base and the place where I order my Filipino dishes doesn't have it available. I am unable to go to the market and buy my salmon. I cannot cook in the kitchen being prohibited due to the situation at home. Carmina decided to order food that had Sinigang na Salmon Belly it is really Authentic Filipino my reason why I say it is super sour from the tamarind that they use and spicy from the chili green pepper that has probably open while stirring the soup. Carmina was able to eat it with half cup of rice at home with a small bowl of Sinigang na Salmon Belly and the other portion can be eaten for dinner. My way of saving money and eating my food twice for a meal less than $10.00 in USD I was able to eat enough for the day.

  Do you know who Jed Pakwan Black Beauty is? It is the name of the watermelon Carmina had ordered through Metro Mart application at the Landmark to purchase it. On the label of the watermelon it says Jed Pakwan Black Beauty price of PHP 193.25 ($3.87) the weight is 3.04 kg for unit price PHP 63.50. The best part from the price Jed Pakwan Black Beauty is sweet with seeds. For all we know during summer season we prefer to eat fresh fruits the reason why I prefer yellow over red watermelon. In the Philippines the yellow watermelon is sweet and small not like the red ones are expensive and we tend not to be able to finish it. Note: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Jed Pakwan Black Beauty just wanted to eat yellow watermelon. Subscribe @ Facebook Page Carmina Lifestyle  a place to look, discover and share.

In the meantime Carmina will be eating food from home she got tired ordering food from restaurant this time she did her grocery shopping at Metro Mart application that she often use. From there on a notification popped up saying Landmark has new arrival items in their store. Carmina went to check it out and found these Gardenia Dinner Rolls. Gardenia Dinner Rolls remind me of the dinner rolls when you eat at a restaurant that serve it to you before your actual meal with butter to spread. Gardenia Dinner Rolls you don't need to add butter since it is flavored butter inside the dinner rolls. They are soft and small portion enough to balance out what you plan to eat. There ways to add inside your Gardenia Dinner Rolls by anything you plan to eat today I had added my sardines that I had also purchase in the same grocery store of Landmark. Not only that I had added sunny side egg with my breakfast meal is Carmina's way how I eat my sardines. You won't believe the price of the ...

  Carmina wanted to go back into eating canned sardines and went online to do her grocery shopping from Metro Mart application that I use when it is time to replenish. I had purchase my groceries from Landmark to find 555 Fried Sardines Hot and Spicy. I haven't tried this before and found it taste like the Spanish Sardines that comes from a bottle by looking at it up close you can see how it is when being cooked with some onions on the stove top. It is mild spicy for me may be because I am eating it with sunny side up egg and bread with it to make a sandwich. For a small can of PHP 28.90 ($0.58) 155g.

  Carmina can no longer count how many brands of Honey Ginger Tea she has tried from Korean, Singapore and local made in the Philippines. You can say I've tried a lot being my favorite drink before I go to sleep. Yes it is true it is healthy for you. Yes it does make you go to the bathroom a lot but to me I am use to it. I have been drinking ginger tea for a very long time. I don't like my ginger tea without honey. I've tried it before I couldn't handle the taste being too strong for me. I prefer the ready to drink version instead of making it homemade from your own kitchen. How does it look from inside the Assi Brand Honey Ginger Tea bottle? What is the ingredient? It is indicated on the bottle for you to read. In case you want to see the actual bottle how it looks with how much it weighs Carmina had purchase her Assi Brand Honey Ginger Tea from  Ceci Korean Grocery  through Grab Mart application for PHP 300.00 ($6.00) not including handling fee and tip to the rider...

Carmina browsed the Grab app to find something refreshing to cool her down in the Philippines .  Even though she knows she’s supposed to be on a diet, Carmina noticed she has gained some weight from her food adventures. The worst part is the intense heat and humidity in the Philippines.  She’s relieved she doesn’t have to go outside, as the hot breeze on her face and the glaring sun in her eyes would make everything even more unbearable. Carmina found a new milk tea ice cream not knowing how it looked since there was no picture from  Sarang Korean Mart  it is called Samanco Boba Ice Cream Sandwich for PHP 252.00 ($5.04) of four pieces 150 ml seem a great deal for me. Carmina was reading the package and discovered it’s actually the Limited Edition Binggrae Samanco Brown Sugar Boba Ice Cream Sandwich from Korea. In the past, I’ve tried their other flavors like Red Bean Paste with Vanilla Ice Cream, Strawberry Syrup with Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Syrup with Vanill...

From being too excited seeing the Binggrae Samanco Brown Sugar Boba Ice Cream Sandwich made in Korea Carmina didn't notice she placed the wrong flavor of Melona Ice Cream in her cart when she had purchase in the same Korean Grocery store. Carmina only realize it when it had arrived in her home being in a box of eight pieces. A family member asked for Melona Ice Cream but in Honey Dew Melon Flavor. Oh well cannot do anything everyone makes their own mistakes not like the person doesn't eat mango. 😆🤣 In case the family doesn't eat it more for Carmina to eat. Oh my diet will be ruin. We can always eat it on our cheat day that can be every day. Of course we can limit ourselves and keep it in the freezer for the meantime since it doesn't expire until March 16, 2023 that is a long time. By the time it reach year 2023 it has been consumed by someone else. If you don't know Carmina she love to joke around one secret of looking young being mistaken to be a kid. The great p...

The most common food in the Philippines to eat anything close to eating Hawaiian food is consist from Hawaiian pizza that is locally made in our area or hamburger that has a pineapple inside to make it sound tropical.
