Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce.

Fruit by the Foot



Carmina was able to find her snack that she grew up eating the most. Carmina loves eating fruit snacks when she was a kid. 

Carmina's favorite is Fruit by the Foot you don't need to be a kid to be eating it.

During my childhood days my mom would pack my lunch to have a sandwich, boxed juice, chips or fruit snacks to bring to school. Each day my snack we're all different my favorite was to share my Fruit by the Foot with my friends.


There we're days I felt sick being a picky kid I'd only ask to eat Fruit by the Foot for my snack.

Living in the Philippines it was difficult for me to find Fruit by the Foot due too some online shops we're quite expensive comparing the value of Philippine currency.

I was able to find that Aleyahmei.ph is selling it per pack PHP 24.00 ($0.48) the flavor is Strawberry.

Note:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for Fruit by the Foot and Aleyahmei.ph Online Shopee Philippines just was able to purchase my childhood snacks.
