Melogold Grapefruit

Melogold Grapefruit

I’ve always wanted to like grapefruits but had always found them a little too sour for my taste, until I discovered Melogold. 😀 Melogold, a cross between a pomelo and a white grapefruit is actually sweet (and a little tart)! Yum! Melogold was so good that I […]

Foochow Peanut Cake Candy

Foochow Peanut Cake Candy

Look what I discovered in my local Asian store – peanut cake! However, although it’s called a peanut cake, it’s really not a cake. 😀 It’s actually a kind of Chinese candy (for the life of me, I can’t remember its Chinese name) that is extremely popular back […]

Quick Spaghetti and Meatballs

Where does the time go? We ask that question a lot in this house. 😀 To prepare a quick meal, I sometimes resort to pre-cooked/instant ingredients to help reduce cooking time. I am picky about the quality and taste though, so not a lot of these ingredients make it […]

Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries with Added Fiber

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received a couple boxes of Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries with added fiber to try out. Both hubby and I have been long-time fans of Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries. That’s right, hubby included! In fact, it’s […]

Maggi Mee

Maggi Mee

I love Maggi Mee! For the non-Malaysians, you’re probably wondering, “What in the world is Maggi Mee?” Why, it’s only the most delicious instant noodle in the WHOLE universe 🙂 (Maggi is the brand and Mee means noodle). Alright, I admit that’s a huge exaggeration, […]
