Food Finds – Page 10 – Shoot First Eat Later

Odd Balls

My favorite food at SM Mega Mall supermarket is Odd Balls. They sell a variety of balls – squid, fish, shrimp and kikiam. I only eat their squid balls which are chewy and have a subtle squid taste. What makes their squid balls stand out is the mix of hot and sweet sauce. The signContinue reading “Odd Balls”

Sad Saturday Lunch

It’s 1:00 pm and I just finished a long conversation. I was thinking about what to have for lunch when I came across a blog entry featuring hot chocolate. Oprah said Mariebelle hot chocolate was one of her favorite things. If Oprah said it’s good then it must be true. Unfortunately I don’t have Oprah’sContinue reading “Sad Saturday Lunch”

Sweet Potato and Cheddar Cookies

When I saw this recipe from Vanilla Sugar I thought what a weird cookie! But since she and her husband’s office mates swear it’s good I decided to give it a go. It tasted more cake than cookie. Initially I thought it was under baked because I tasted something soft in the middle. It turnedContinue reading “Sweet Potato and Cheddar Cookies”

As a child I was forced fed hot, runny oatmeal by my yaya (nanny). I remember the daily battles and my threats to throw up. MyContinue reading “Oats and Me”

Orange Chocolate

My favorite kind of chocolates are dark chocolate with orange rind. My holy grail is Leonidas’ Orangette. But it’s so freakin’ expensive. For more affordable chocolates, I have found several good ones from my travels all over. Some were given by friends who know my quirk in chocolates. Note: It has to be dark chocolate.Continue reading “Orange Chocolate”

In search for the perfect garlic peanuts

Several months ago I had this craving for garlic peanuts. I remember trying the perfect coated garlic peanuts but I couldn’t find the supplier. So I started looking for it. First I bought this Indonesian garlic roasted peanuts from Unimart. It was a disappointment. It was coated with garlic but there was barely any garlicContinue reading “In search for the perfect garlic peanuts”
