I think this is one of the tastiest tortilla chips around because of the crispiness and thin nachos with a delicious barbecue flavor. Definitely this one is crispy unlike other Jack n Jill tortilla chips. I was looking for a bigger pack but only this size is available so I have to content myself for buying only one.

This is, I think is the sweet and spicy taste that suits my palate when it comes to junk food like this one. I have tasted a sweet chili fish cracker but it doesn’t come close to sweet and spicy, only spicy because of the chili pepper powder. The shape is round but smaller than the real squid ball since this is only a corn snack. All I can say is that this stuff taste good even though the packaging is not too attractive.

This spicy fish cracker is a tasty one but I must warn you that you don’t too much if your stomach can’t handle spicy food. No it’s not that spicy, just right to the pinoy taste. Unlike those spicy food coming from Thailand or India that I can’t tolerate the too much chili peppers they put on their food.

There are other makers of this product already and more tastier than this but just for the sake of curiosity I tried to taste this one. To describe this stuff, it is just barquillos or wafer rolls with polvoron-like substance inside. Polvoron is made from toasted flour and milk powder. If you are eating this stuff, try not to talk too much because you might cough if the powdery substance entered your esophagus.

You can compare this snack to clover chips because I think you are more familiar with it than other snacks, that is, if you are a junk food junkie. The only difference is its much bigger and thicker than clover chips and instead of the usual cheese flavor, this one has shrimp flavor instead. The first time I ate it, it has a lot of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) but today, when I ate it again, there is some change in the taste and the MSG not visible.

This potato chip seems to be a new flavor made by Jack n Jill. It’s the under the category of ‘Pinoy Favorites’ in V cut potato chips. This one is kaldereta flavor. One of the famous Filipino dishes is the kaldereta. Stewed meat ( can be: pork, beef, goat or chicken) with tomato sauce and vegetables like potatoes, carrots, red bell pepper and green peas. The potato chip does taste like kaldereta specially if you are eating the potatoes of the real kaldereta dish.

This new flavor of Granny Goose snack is the reason why I bought this. Maybe I was tired of seeing the usual corn chips, tortillas, kornets snacks and those were in the market a long time. I guess this flavor is new because this is the first time I saw Granny Goose has this flavor. The packaging is attractive and looks delicious but as they say, don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Anyway although I’m expecting of a real grilled pork taste and since these are only chips or crackers, it was close enough. It does really taste like the spices and flavoring used in grilling pork. Not spicy so kids will like it. The only thing I don’t like is I have to buy two or three packs to satisfy my craving because the quantity is only 35 grams. At least 50 to 60 grams is alright for me. For one thing, I was thinking what “Brew Bud” means. Upon reading the packing it says “It’s you fave drink’s best bud!” I think it means when you have a drink like a beer for example, locally it’s called “pulutan”, a food that paired with a drink (beer, wine or gin) usually pork, chicken or beef dish.

This is a very unique fish cracker I’ve seen maybe because of the packaging with a picture of sweet and sour red perch. This is one of my favorite dish so when I saw it on a grocery shelf, I hurriedly bought it. Thinking that it will taste like my favorite dish I’m excited to taste it. But I didn’t expect that it will be very spicy in my taste buds. Maybe those who like spicy food will enjoy this. Anyway it taste is similar to a sweet and sour fish with the fishy taste. It still passed my taste and I consider it a good buy and I really like the packaging design.

Just seeing the size of this shrimp crackers and the packaging design makes you think that it’s good to eat. Yes, when I tasted it sure is delicious and not spicy. You can eat a large quantity without getting fed up of the taste. Again, this is a great companion while watching TV or movie and since it is larger than the average shrimp crackers, it will take longer before you to ran out of it.

I think this cracker nuts need no more introductions because this has been a legend and a pioneer cracker nuts here in the Philippines. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe there were already cracker nuts here since the Spanish regime but this one have been one of my favorites since childhood. During childhood days I was always in my uncle’s grocery store and I see this cracker nuts every time and munch on them whenever I have a chance of getting one. It’s alright with my uncle because I’m treated like his own son and besides, the store is also owned by my father ( he is a part owner). Anyway about the nuts, the crunchy crispy taste is excellent and the crispy peanut inside is better that any other cracker nuts I’ve tasted. The salty flavoring is tolerable and it is the taste why it became popular.
