Oishi Berrie Plunge – Strawberry Flavored Corn Flakes

Lito — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 03:35:00 +0000

It’s been a long time since I updated this blog because I can’t find enough time. I have other priorities because this niche of blogging about junk food is not as popular compared to other niches. For now I’ll just be doing it for passion.

This snack, Berrie Plunge, shouldn’t be called a junk food because it’s a healthy cereal snack. In fact it’s corn chips that are usually eaten at breakfast but this corn flakes is coated by sweet white chocolate and strawberry flavored which I think does not taste good if you pour it with milk if you plan to eat it at breakfast. So this can be categorized as snack and not as a breakfast cereal.

Monde – One One Rice Crackers

Lito — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:22:44 +0000

This rice crackers is a sure crowd pleaser and bet that you will definitely love. Why? First is the taste. Second is the price because I only taste this once when I bought a Japanese rice crackers but it cost much higher that this one. And the taste? Well it is delicious with a little spicy flavor.

Although the flavor is chili, you will hardly notice it. The flavor is spicy sweet with a little beef and shrimp flavor. If you love to eat rice crackers, then this will be a good try.

Jack n Jill –Poppins– Peanut Butter Filled Crunchy Snack

Lito — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:15:34 +0000

Again comparing it to Oishi, I haven’t seen a peanut butter filled snacks. This is the first time I saw this flavor. Maybe it’s too ordinary to put peanut butter in these crunchy snacks. Regarding the taste, well the peanut butter is alright, not too sweet nor too salty. Just right to the taste in my opinion. The crunchy cracker is colored pale brown maybe because of the cocoa ingredient or just a food coloring.

Jack n Jill –Tosta – Toasted Bread Slices – Garlic Flavor

Lito — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 08:29:55 +0000

This snack is made of crunchy bread chips which is Similar to Oishi bread pan. Personally I like Oishi bread pan because the texture is porous which resemble a French bread with garlic butter flavor. Tosta on the other hand have a smoother texture with an orange powdery color on the outside. But in fairness the taste is good with the taste of garlic and butter.

Jack n Jill – Poppins – Cheese Filled Crunchy Snack

Lito — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 02:41:19 +0000

I think this is a new product from Jack n Jill and similar to Oishi pillows. This is a crunchy snacks filled with creamy cheese. Comparing it to Oishi, (I hope I remember the taste of Oishi Pillows cheese filled crackers) I think the difference from Jack n Jill Poppins is the flavor which is more sharp, the texture is smoother and there is a little cheese powder coating.

I only saw a small 35 gram pack in the supermarket but maybe there is a bigger one being sold too. This is a good strategy, experimenting if the market will bite into this so they sell it in small packs or maybe because of our economy, most people can only afford small quantities.

Regent Golden Sweet Corn

Lito — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:00:45 +0000

There is no unique thing in this product. This is very similar to cheese balls but instead of having a cheesy and salty taste, this snack is sweet and taste like sweet corn. Obviously because that is what is said in the package label: Sweet Corn. Common sense isn’t it?

Regent Squidball Corn Snack

Lito — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:12:59 +0000

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.

La-La Sweet Chili Fish Crackers

Lito — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:33:14 +0000

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.

Regent Tempura Shrimp Flavor Snack

Lito — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:33:06 +0000

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.

Granny Goose Brew Bud Grilled Pork

Lito — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 08:05:37 +0000

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.
