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.
It's really soft and crunchy, it reminds me of KINDER pan e cioc. So if you like the KINDER version, I recommend you to try this one, but obviously it has a different taste \ (•◡•) /

Choc★Nut

Let's now talk about chocolate!
Not about the occidental one (>‿◠)✌

Choc★Nut



Choc★Nut called in its full name
♛King Choc Nut Peanut Milk Chocolate, it's a chocolate from the Philippines manufactured by Unisman, a confectionery company that hasn't a lot of information on the Internet. 

❤MY FEEDBACK: Once you eat it, you taste what the product's name offer. A mix of peanut and milk chocolate, soft and a bit sandy because of the shells. I really recommend this as a snack, it's not too sweet it's just perfect and maybe the best invention of the Philippines sweets ᕙ( ^ₒ^ c) haha.

Let's now check its
INGREDIENTS:
roasted peanuts, cane sugar,
milk powder, cocoa powder & vanilla.

Pintoora

An other Asian (Every continent has this) product I'm obsessed with..

PINTOORA


It's almost 5 years since my last vacation in the Philippines, and one of my favourite crazy sweets from there (that nobody cares to bring) it's the PINTOORA!!! Who knows these bubblegums will definitely think about childhood, me too, but even so I'm still in love with these!! Here in Italy I still can't find them packed separately, they just sell them through a bubblegum vending machine at 20 cents/50 cents.

They are just special because once you chew them, you'll have automatically your tongue colored with the color of the bubblegum you chose. My favourites are the orange and the red one.



Anyway here's the
INGREDIENTS: sugar, gum-base, glucose,
natural identical & artificial food flavours, artificial food colors with tartrazine.

Yum Yum ยำยำ

Hello guys! Let's do another review but this time about food!
And I'm glad to present you

Yum Yum® ยำยำ


"YumYum®" was the first instant noodle manufactured in Thailand since 1972. And the first dried type of instant noodle "YumYum® Phad Kee Mao Hang flavor" that was developed in 1996.


This morning my sister and my mother arrived with a box of 12 bags of instant noodles, exactly I don't know how many flavors this brand has, but searching on their official site I realize that they haven't categorized the "Chicken flavour", the "Shrimp flavour" and the "Vegetable flavour".
( maybe they forgot them ◕‿- )

The box was composed by 2 bags of Shrimp flavour, 2 bags of Vegetable flavour, 4 bags of Chicken flavour and 4 bags of Duck flavour. ( combination based on my sister's choices >◡< )
We tried immediately the green, the pink and the red one ❤

❤MY FEEDBACK: If you're a noodles addicted or just a lover, you'll notice that the YumYum® noodles
are thinner than the regular noodles.
I tried the Shrimp flavour, because I'm a Shrimp addict ✌. Honestly? It wasn't my type TT_TT. It was good but it had a strong taste of ginger (even it hasn't it) and I'm not a fan of it ( ╯^╭╮^╰  ).
I've also tried the Vegetable and the Duck one, and they were Delicious. Especially the Duck flavour was awesome, you have to try it.❤

Now I'll show them individually❤

Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream { FEEDBACK }

Let's do an other review,
but this time something more affordable and easy to find.

NIVEA®Soft Moisturising Cream
[ face - body - hands ]



Nivea® Soft is a highly effective moisturising cream
for everyday use on face hands and body.
The improved formula with Jajoba Oil
now contains even more moisturising care
and has a refreshing effect on your skin,
while Vitamin E helps protect its natural structure.
It has the 200ml and the 100ml version.


❤MY FEEDBACK: I've been using it for 2 months, I bought two of them,
I read the reviews about it and I appreciate what they say.
I was searching a moisturising cream for my face, because
before I used the body cream as face cream, and it was wrong.
It's a great cream but honestly not for me.
I mean maybe it's because I love more creamy stuff. My skin before
and after the application is the same, but I think
that it's because I have already a soft skin.
( I'll show you a picture and you can judge it )
But after all I would recommend it, because it is a great cream
and one friend of mine says that it softens her skin.
