The package says it has 50% dietary fiber, 24% Vitamin C, 17% protein, 10% Iron. The green peas are imported according to the label at the back. I don’t know why it is imported from the USA since we have farmers that sell green peas locally. Maybe the imported ones are better. Anyway the green peas are good to eat. I think it is fried and then salted with all the other stuffs included while making this product. It is also crispy and not hard to chew so it is a great addition to your snacks if you love fried or dried nuts.

Looking at the packaging I thought this is a nacho type of snack with barbecue flavor. When I opened it looks like kropek similar to shrimp or fish kropek or clover chips. A little bigger than clover chips with barbecue flavor.

Butong pakwan is a Filipino word for watermelon seeds. This snack has been a long time favorite of Filipinos. Can be bought on sari-sari stores on small packaging. The one I bought is 100 grams pack and the seeds are bigger than other watermelon seeds sold in groceries or supermarket. It’s also not very salty and the seeds easy to break by biting the edges until the seeds break in half. Just to remind you, eating this stuff needs good dentures.

This snack has been in the market since my teen years. Although this snack is tasty because of its buttery flavor, it smells like fart. Especially when you are eating it in an enclosed area like for example in an air conditioned car. But today, when I bought it in the market, the label and design of the package was changed and it doesn’t smell like fart anymore. I can say that this is a great and improved product that we can enjoy and specially the buttery taste that I always like.

According to the package this original cebu salvaro was produced since 1956. Good thing that this delicacy still survived until now. Maybe because of its unique taste. You can savor the coconut taste and aroma on these flat oval shaped and very thin biscuits. But if you don’t have good dentures I think you should soak it first on your coffee or juice because it’s kind of hard to chew. If you enjoy hard biscuits then this is a great snack.

A little harder to chew than the known peanut cracker brand but the shape is bigger and solid. At first I thought it was bitter because of the barbecue flavoring but later as I was continue eating it with my family I kind a like the taste.

True to its packaging Green peas label. The taste is very similar to dried green peas except that it is not as hard to chew compared to the real dried and fried green peas. Very suitable to those who cannot eat hard stuffs and it’s not salty too. When I opened the pack, I saw long string beans-like shape crispy stuffs.

Curly tops chocolate is one of our favorites since childhood (I mean to those you are in my age group) here in the Philippines. Since the previous decades imported chocolates are very expensive and there were not much in the market. Unlike today every grocery you go there were plenty of imported chocolates. Even though there were competition the name curly tops is still well known. The name looks like a foreign one but this is a Filipino chocolate. I hope we introduce this to out kids at least they will know that this is our childhood favorite and help our local industries. An with regards to taste, the chocolate flavor is unique. More on the milky side than the chocolate.

This snack has been in the market for a long time and one of my favorite. The cone shaped chips are crisp and the natural corn flavor is good enough. The package says it was “sealed fresh in foil” and it’s true. The a little sweet buttery taste adds to its flavor and not too salty unlike before. Maybe they have improved their product already. Great for snacks and you will enjoy it. Please give your comment also. You are very welcome.
