the same company and let's compare them.

Langka-Ube VS Ube

❤MY FEEDBACK:
They're both amazing. Once you bite them, they seem raw and strange,
especially if eaten in winter, but they melt easily in your mouth.
Ube tastes Ube (sounds stupid but it is so),
it's really sweet but it has a salty aftertaste.
Langka-Ube, this Combo, it's amazing!
His flavor is more different from the other one.
It still has a salty aftertaste but
because of the Langka (Jackfruit) is less bothersome.
The Jackfruit adds more sweetness to the Ube.

EggNog cookies

Hey! Now let's talk about one of my favorites snacks!
EggNog
cookies


Droplets of rich tasting cookies made with real fresh eggs.
Light and crispy flavorful cookies, distributed
by the Mode Nissin Corporation since 1980. It was originally a biscuits
products' seller, but after 9 years they started to sell instant noodles.

❤MY FEEDBACK: It's awesome! If you are a egg lover,
this is the best to eat! It doesn't taste heavy and neither oily.
Once you try it, you want to eat more. It has a magnetic effect,
if you are a foodler or as I call it "Foodie".
It's not really sweet as the usual Filipino products,
but if you are a sweetler you can find
other products on their site (Monde Nissin) to try.
I recommend their Wafer ;)



INGREDIENTS: wheat flour, cane sugar, whole eggs, vegetable fat
(may contain one or more of the following: coconut, palm, palm kernel),
butter fat, leavening (ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and
monocalcium phsphate), iodized salt.

Milka (Cake & Choc)

Good morning everyone! Let's do an other review!

Milka
Cake & Choc


An other food discovery! I have never tried this one (ô‿ô)

Milka is a brand of chocolate belonging to the American multinational Mondelēz International.
Founded in November 17, 1825 by the Swiss chocolatier Philippe Suchard (1797–1884) in Neuchâtel.
Its name comes from the union of Milch (milk) e Kakao (cocoa).
The brand symbol is a Purple Cow, which is a lilac coloured Simmental cattle (Fleckvieh) which are normally brown-white, with a completely white face. Today, the chocolate is produced at a number of locations, including Lörrach (Germany), Bludenz (Austria), Belgrade (Serbia), Svoge (Bulgaria), Bratislava (Slovakia), Brașov (Romania), Costa Rica, Curitiba (Brazil), Jankowice (Poland) and Trostyanets (Ukraine), Belgium, Argentina, and most recently, Chicago, IL by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company for U.S. production and distribution.



❤THE PRODUCT: The paper pack contains 5 soft brownies cakes, in a tablet shape,
with crunchy chocolate pieces, wrapped separately. Each snack weighs 35 grams for a total of 146 kcal.

❤MY FEEDBACK: It is really good! Even my mother likes it, in fact she wants to buy an other pack.
