Hungrypac became popular with it’s chocolate crinkles. They later added cakes and other varieties of cookies. I visited their store in Greenhills to check out what’s new. Their crinkles are chewy and chocolatey. No wonder it’s their bestseller. I bought one container of chocolate ecstasy to try it out. It was indeed ecstasy! The cakeContinue reading “Hungrypac Crinkles and Cakes”

I don’t like soymilk but I tried Silk chocolate soymilk thatContinue reading “I Love Taho”
