THEY make the BEST onigiri I’ve ever had. Hubs rarely makes requests but he requests I buy this after my Saturday Nihongo class, in time for our lunch. Our favourite flavours thus far, tuna mayonnaise and salmon.

Onigiri are rice balls more often shaped into triangular form or oval form and usually wrapped with nori (dried seaweed). More often, they have fillings inside the ball; the more popular ones of which are salmon and tuna mayonnaise shown above. Some onigiri are also made of flavoured rice (ume/plum, shirasu and nori bits/whitebait and dried seaweed bits among others) without fillings. Great for take-outs, picnics and as food-on-the-go.

Fulfilling Yasai (vegetable)

It isn’t just good food (or more like good drink/tasteful drink in this case). It’s packed with healthy goodness as well. You can taste the richness in nutrients and minerals with every flavorful sip. Why so? Cause it’s a pure juice made out of 20 vegetables and 5 fruits.

Max’s Sizzling Tofu and Goldilocks’ Multi-Grain Bread

Posted on by

I’ve eaten Max’s Restaurant’s Sizzling Tofu and Goldilocks’ Multi-grain bread separately and both is just so tasty. But eaten together? Oh, it’s just an explosion of flavor! Max’s Sizzling Tofu comes lightly fried and in coconot milk with bell pepers and onions. Goldilocks’ milti-grain seemed to heighten up the richness of the coconut-cream-infused tofu and at the same time levels out its richness, creating fireworks of flavor in your palate. The combination is-just-so-freakin’-good. Try it!

Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal

Posted on by

Every now and then, I’d like to experiment; try out some new product. When I saw Pan-A-Cup’s Malunggay Whole Wheat Pandesal, I was instantly intrigued with how it would taste. And I’m glad I was curious enough to buy it. It’s got a curious taste to it, probably owing to the malunggay bits. Yet the malunggay taste fused with the whole wheat verging-on-sweet dough creating a delectable tasting pandesal.

It’s perfect as it is even when eaten as is. But it’s good to match with SPAM as well for breakfast. And if in case you need to heat up the pandesal and you don’t have a microwave oven at home, you can heat it up on a pan brushed with olive oil. I did it. It was just uber yummy that I had to buy another pack the following day. haha.

Nutritional Information of powdered dried malunggay (moringa) leaves as seen on Pan-A-Cup’s packaging:

  • 10 times the Vitamin A of carrots
  • 1/2 the Vitamin C of oranges
  • 17 times the Calcium of milk
  • 15 times the Potassium of banana
  • 25 times the Iron of spinach
