BRAVO! LASAGNA

I was craving for pasta but it was raining so hard that I can't go to the grocery.  So I just went to the nearest Mini-Stop in my area and got myself this microwaveable Beef and Tomato Lasagna from Bravo!

GOYA DARK WITH ALMONDS

I was browsing the shelves of Mini-Stop Convenience Store when I came across Goya Dark with Almonds.  I know that I've already talked about Goya Dark Mint and Goya Black & White and I wouldn't mind sharing with everyone about my newest Goya find.

LIPTON MILK TEA

I'm not much of a tea lover.  Whenever I drink tea, I'd like to put milk and/or chocolate in my mix to make it more inviting to my taste buds.  That's why I was so glad to have found Lipton Milk Tea.  It comes in 3 variants- Original, Gold and Vanilla.



For me to actually know what makes one different from the other flavors, I got myself a box of each variant and tried them myself.

GOYA BLACK & WHITE

After trying out Goya's Dark Mint, I saw another version and this time it's a combination of dark and white chocolate.  Introducing Goya Black & White.

YAN YAN

Get the sweet biscuit stick, dump it in the creamy milk chocolate and take a bite.  That's how fun eating a Yan Yan is.  I got tired of eating chocolate-covered biscuits like Knick Knacks and Choco Knots that I decided to get something more fun to eat, like dipping a biscuit in milk chocolate.

That's why I grabbed Meiji's Yan Yan.

When I opened the pack, I saw that their biscuits have words and phrases for me to read.  Wow, they've made their product fancier.  I like the fact that children can not only enjoy their treats but they can also get to practice their reading by just looking at the phrases on the biscuit.  Never mind making sense of the phrases.

GO BLACK, GOYA DARK MINT

At first, I couldn't believe it.  Dark Mint Chocolates from Goya?  Wow.  They're definitely going classier.  I love dark chocolates with mint, in fact, one of my to-die-for dark chocolate with mint is Nestle's After Eights.  I was so excited when I saw one of my favorite local brands go dark choco loco.   I almost ripped the package apart with excitement but restrained myself because I know I had to take pictures of my newest find to share with my Tipidmeals friends.

KNICK KNACKS

Just like Pretzel's Choco Knots and Milky Knots, I missed eating Delfi's Knick Knacks.  So I grabbed a bunch on the supermarket shelf while doing my weekly grocery shopping.

LUCKY ME, I FOUND AN EXTRA HOT PANCIT CANTON

I love chilies.  I love spicy dishes.  That's why I snatched me a pack of Lucky Me's Extra Hot Pancit Canton when I visited the supermarket.  I want to know how HOT is extra hot.

When I got home, I opened the pack, boiled some water, dumped the noodles in the water and mixed all the spices as well as flavorings into the drained noodles for some extra hot dinner.

LEMON SQUARE'S CHEESE CAKE

I was busy with work the other day that I never got the chance to take even a short 15-minute break and grab a bite.  Good thing, our pantry was selling these mini cup cakes.  Since I've been eating Inipit every time I want a light snack, I want to try other Lemon Square goodies.  So I bought Lemon Square's Cheese Cake.

ONCE YOU GO BLACK, YOU WON'T GO BACK

I am a dark chocolate lover.  Well, there are times when I'd crave for either Flat Tops or Curly Tops but I'd always pick dark chocolates anytime.  Since most of the excellent-tasting dark chocolates are expensive, I'd go for the next best affordable thing.  And that's Meiji's Black Chocolate.

INIPIT NA LEMON SQUARE

Whenever I'm on the road and feeling hungry but can't stop for a proper meal, I would always reach inside my bag and pull out one of my best friends- Lemon Square's Custard Inipit.  These are tiny rectangular cakes with a custard filling in the middle and sprinkled with sugar on top.  Inipit's taste is just pure sweet and simple.

NAGARAYA

I was pleased when I read '0% Transfat/Cholesterol' written on the package.  So I bought it- Nagaraya Garlic Cracker Nuts.

LET'S HAVE A BEER MATCH: SALT & VINEGAR

When I was in college (which was way way back), my friend gave me something to munch on.  I can still clearly remember my friend telling me to try this one out because it tastes interesting and delicious.  As soon as I opened the bag, the strong and stinking sour smell of vinegar hit me and I almost threw the bag back to my friend.  But being the adventurous person that I was (and still am), I took out a piece and eagerly put it in my mouth.  To my surprise, it was really good.

That's why as soon as I saw Oishi's Beer Match in Salt & Vinegar, I instantly grabbed it from the shelf and headed to the cashier with a huge smile on my face.

LUCKY ME SUPREME CHICKEN SOTANGHON

Whenever I feel a bit under the weather, I'd often go for a nice, hot chicken soup to give me warmth and to make me feel even a bit better.  Since I don't have anything in my fridge that I can transform into a good chicken soup, I relied on my dependable friend- Lucky Me Supreme Chicken Sotanghon.

HELLO PANDA DOUBLE CHOCO

I was browsing the snack shelves of a convenience store when I spotted Hello Panda in yellow wrapper.  The Hello Panda I know is wrapped in Red.  So I got curious.  I found out that it's called Hello Panda Double Choco.

NISSIN CUP NOODLES: BULALO

After the Spicy Seafood Flavor, I'm on to the next Nissin Cup Noodles and this time in Bulalo Flavor.

YOU HAD ME AT HELLO PANDA

When my brother was in grade school, he'd often have goodies in his lunch box.  And one of those goodies is Hello Panda.  That's why when I saw Meiji's Hello Panda, I immediately remembered my brother.

OISHI NATURAL POTATO CHIPS

I was buying Mascovado Sugar in a convenience store just this morning when I spotted this...
Oishi Natural Potato Chips.

NISSIN CUP NOODLES: SPICY SEAFOOD

Whenever I'm super busy, I either rely on fastfood delivery or instant noodles.  Since I can't wait 30-45 minutes for my food delivery to arrive, I snatched a cup of my favorite instant noodles in the cupboard.  I opened one Nissin Cup Noodles in Spicy Seafood flavor.

PRETZEL'S MILKY KNOTS

As promised, I bought the milk chocolate version of Pretzel's Choco Knots.  It's called Milky Knots.
