Food Finds: Childhood Memories and Instant Yan Yan

Why hello there! So nice for you to be back! 

Have you ever wondered what you can buy for 100 pesos and still be full? I have. Usually after work I eat out and be like

What fast food joint or fish ball stand should I eat out today? 

First of all eating fast food or street food on a daily basis is not a healthy option I know that is why usually I eat out when I am near my house because there are a lot more choices here for some reason. 

And one particular place I go to is Mercury Drug - I tend to buy food there since they have a mini grocery. 

And also in my food finds I tend to stray away from the chips and chocolate..well mostly chips because they contain MSG or mono sodium glutamate that retains water in the body thus making us bloated a couple of hours after we eat. Yeah keep eating that instant ramen if you want a bloated face the next day - kidding! 

And also I only give myself 100 pesos allowance to eat. Because I know that even with a 50 peso meal you won't feel full so make it a hundred. 

Here are the items I got. 

I got:

Fortune's Bread sticks for 22 pesos
Yakult Probiotic drink for 40 pesos
Finetti Hazelnut with cocoa spread for 35.75 pesos

The total? 97.75 php! 

I still have 2. 25php change! What a steal right? If you want a receipt check it below. 

I think sufficing the hunger in us doesn't have to cost us being unhealthy. So why don't you share your 100peso food find with me on Instagram!

I will do more of these in the future because of course who doesn't want a steal with food but still keep it healthy? If you are one of those people who don't then..shame on you! haha! kidding!

Thank you and have a great weekend!

Much Love!

How to make instant pancit palabok

Hello ladies! I know the title sounds weird since there is actually no easy way to make pancit palabok. Not unless it is an instant kind from Lucky Me! :D 

I think this is a new product since I haven't seen a TVC of this in any channel I watch. Retailed at 13PHP, this is a great afternoon snack. I remember when I was younger my dad would buy me palabok which is actually good for 3 people, but me and my dad would be the ones eating it. 

Food Finds: Fudgee Barr!!!

Here's another food find!

I know I am breaking my diet with these but they are so yummy!

I think I started liking fudgee barr when my friend gave me one back in college.

Yes seriously that is how it is spelled. Its a cake bar that has a filling. There are I think several variants but their most popular are chocolate, custard, vanilla and mocha.

The price may vary from store to store but it would be from 6.00 PHP to 8.00 PHP per piece, but if you buy a pack of 10 it would be 50+ pesos. This is best paired with coffee or hot coco and also great to be shared, especially if you are on a diet LOL. 


Mostly you can purchase them from any store either individually on in a pack of 10. Mostly I would buy only  half a pack since I would store them in my station at work in case I get hungry or when I need a jolt of energy. I know its bad since it shoots up your sugar level fast and it would also plummet down real fast so I suggest you move at least 10 minutes after munching this down. Seriously I've done it before and I felt horrible after wards.

I hope you liked this post. I will have more food finds for the sweet tooth next time.

Much Love!

Cheap Food Finds for 100 pesos: Smart C+Century corned tuna + Butter Coconut biscuits + chocolate! :)

 

Since I have been on a no-fast food meal plan I actually came up with different options in case I forgot to pack my lunch. 

I found these three items at mini stop when I forgot my food at home last week. 

These are all under 100 pesos which saves you a lot of money. 

Stuff I got:

-- Smart C in Lemon 25.00 PHP

-- Butter Coconut biscuits 11.00 PHP

-- Century Chili Corned Tuna  23.00 PHP

Total cost: 69.00 PHP

You still have some change so I bought myself a goya chocolate for 23.00PHP. I'll do another post about the chocolate next time. ^^,

So over all I spent 92.00 PHP

Butter Coconut biscuits with chili corned tuna is actually good, you should try it out for yourself.

Much love!

Cheap Food Finds Under 100 php: KFC Supreme Bowl

If you are looking for a yummy but affordable food I suggest you try the Supreme Bowls of KFC. For only 100 pesos you can choose between Kung Pao or Chicken ala King and it comes with a drink! 

I actually ordered Kung Pao since this is my favorite. I like Chicken ala king too but its not really exciting for my taste for some reason. 

Check this out at any KFC nationwide. 

Much Love!

Food Finds Under 100 pesos

I usually wake up at around 10am on weekdays which ends up on me not eating breakfast or lunch at home. I know that is bad but I actually eat when I get to work.I usually multitask when I'm at work and that includes eating.
