Kit Kat Heaven!!!

Kit Kat is one of those treats that I rarely get exited for since the ones that I've tried when I was your was the regular variant. Nothing really special really - not until I was able to try out two new flavors of Kit Kat!

I tried out Passion fruit and the coveted Green Tea flavor.

These were actually sold to me by my co-worker since her sibling travels a lot. She retails these at about 370PHP per bag of 12 mini pieces. 

Each piece are individually wrapped and contains 2 wafers layered with the selected flavor then covered in the same icing. 

The passion fruit was more of a main stay in the Japanese market according to my cousin, since it has a 'normal' taste - her words not mine. 

So since it was my first time to try it, I was a bit curious with the taste of Kit Kat's passion fruit flavor. When I tasted it, all I could say was ...hmmm? yes.It wasn't a real word but more of an expression. 

The aroma was fruity with a hint of creaminess. The taste was somewhat confuses me since it has a creamy, kind-of citrus zing into it that makes you want to reach out for more. I was taken back with the taste of the passion fruit that I actually liked it the more I tasted it.

Now to the coveted Green tea kit kat. 

I didn't expect much with this because I basically grew up drinking green tea because my mom would get tons of green tea from her Japanese friends, which ends up being in my cup since she says its good for your health.

The moment I opened this piece I braised myself for an outpouring of childhood memories - of my mom running after me to drink my afternoon green tea. The thought of it makes me cringe.

I don't have anything against drinking Japanese green tea, its just that whenever I smell it, it just reminds me of like the smell of grass. I have drank gallons of Japanese green tea which quite honestly made me sick of drinking it, but I think eating it will be fine...right?

The aroma of this is very much like the once I've drank before, but somehow I don't feel tensed eating it. The aroma is not that overwhelming to the mouth which is great.

If you ask me between the two which one I like more?

I would go with Passion fruit. The taste is quite new and its something that you want to have over and over again while the green tea one is just something I was accustomed to thus making it more of like an afternoon delight.

Which one would you prefer?

A Little Piece of Heaven

Sometimes heaven can be found in the little things. 

I do believe this saying. Heaven is a way of thinking for some but for me heaven can be found in the littlest of things that we see. 

Like Hershey's Kisses! 

Since I was younger I have been an avid lover of these. One of my fondest memory of these are when me and my family went to Duty Free one Christmas and I asked her if I could buy one, my mom doesn't really let me handle her wallet but on that faithful day she handed me fifty dollars to spend on what ever I want.

Being the kid that I am I immediately went to the chocolate section and bought myself at least 3 gift bags of these which gave me a chance to spin for a special prize. The special prize I got was another bag full of Hershey's! My mom and dad were quite surprised when I got back and carried quite a heavy load full of chocolates. My brothers were totally jealous but being the loving baby sister that I am I bought them a big bag of Combos.

Going back..

Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate is simply heaven in the taste buds with its slight bitterness but still that mouth watering chocolate sweetness - simply heaven in deed!

My office mate actually offers these for sale for only 250 PHP for one bag which is quite cheaper than those in the market so I ordered two- one for me and one for my mom since she loves these as well.

My rule in life is work hard but enjoy the simple pleasures in life. So having one of these babies is not bad if you ask me. And also dark chocolate is good for you since it has more antioxidants than milk chocolate so having one to two of these every day isn't going to ruin your diet so indulge in a bit.

Have you tried this? What do you think about 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!

Food Finds: Meiji Chocolate Almonds

I seriously love chocolates. I especially like these that were given to me by my god brother about a month ago. 

Dark Chocolate Madness

 

I.LOVE.CHOCOLATE.

I actually eat chocolate when its available and I think I have tried different kinds of chocolate from different countries. I'm not an expert on these, I just simply love them.

I actually got this because I was looking for some food when I forgot my lunch a week ago. 

The chocolate I love the most is actually dark chocolate because its not really sweet, its more bitter which people say this type has a lot of antioxidants which is good for us. 

Goya chocolates are actually based here in the Philippines and I have been loving their products even when I was young so I wasn't surprised that they released chocolate bars. 

They have different variants of this, it has nuts and raisins, milk chocolate, cookies and cream and white chocolate. 

You can buy this in all stores nationwide. The price would depend though by store. 

Much love!

Flat tops and my childhood

picture from google

I remember when I was a kid, I'm still a kid (at heart), that I would snack on to one of these after dinner. Its either this or chocknut. Me and my dad had those mannerisms after we eat we will have to eat something sweet to at least lessen the umay.  Don't ask me what that is, I don't know the english term LOL.

My dad's diabetic so I usually get 70% of the chocolate he has then I would have another one on the fridge waiting to be eaten haha!

Flat tops is a chocolate here in the Philippines which has been around for a long time. Most kid of the 90's would know this chocolate and its other variant which is the curly tops. 

I preferred flat tops over curly tops is you ask me.  I like the creaminess of flat tops, its not like the ones from Hershey's or other chocolate brands out there. 

picture from google

I admit I can finish 5 of these in 5 minutes or less so usually I would share this with my nephew and niece. 

What I love about this is its a Philippine made product so that means that we are able to enjoy what is here in our country. This is also very cheap. You can buy one pack for at least 30 pesos (approx .69 USD)

Flat tops actually melt quite fast so I suggest you put them in a cold dry place so you won't have melted chocolate. 

I actually use flat tops when I make chocolate icing, but that is for another post.

Have you tried this chocolate? What is your most fond memory with this chocolate? 

Share it on the comment box below and I will talk to you soon.

Much Love!

Afternoon Snacks: 7-11's Daily Bread Brownies

 

I seriously love chocolate. I love any kind of food that has chocolate. Usually when I'm at the office and I have extra time, I would drop by the convenience stores here in the vicinity of our office, one of them is 711,

711 has a lot in store. From food to personal stuff they have it here. 

The 711 in our area is always packed with people since it is surrounded by offices. 

They also have their own line of pastries called the daily bread. Honestly I haven't tried all of the bread it has. I also haven't tried this so might as well I do a review about it. 

In price its reasonable for 28 pesos (approximately .68 USD). They also have variants in rocky road, chocolate with white icing and of course the original brownies. Taste-wise its pretty much okay if you just need a quick chocolate rush. 

My overall verdict for this one is its okay but needs to improve more. I think one reason why people don't buy this is simply because it doesn't have that "chocolate touch" You know the taste that is creamy yet not overwhelming and the sweetness of chocolate is just there...that is what I am looking for.

You can buy this at any 711 store. 

Hope you enjoyed my food review for today.

I'll have more in store! 

Much Love!
