Binggrae Samanco Rice Cake

Carmina was able to try a new one Bingrae Samanco Rice Cake. I have always been fond of trying Bingrae Korean Ice Cream when it is available in my area. The best part  Assi Fresh Plaza Inc  always have it by set of five pieces when you purchase their ice cream. There are variety of ice cream that you can try I've never encounter my frozen items melted they make sure it is secure when it arrive in your location. I was able to get it for PHP 300.00 ($6.00) for five pieces of 150ml.

Binggrae Melona Melon vs Binggrae Melona Melon Tube

The difference from Binggrae  Melona Melon vs  Binggrae  Melona Melon Tube well I will explain the pro and the cons of each one for you to understand. The first one that came out is Binggrae  Melona Melon that is on a stick and when you eat it is kind of messy on your hands when it melts and unable to eat it right away. The second one is the Binggrae  Melona Melon where the ingredient is inside a tube where you can just hold it twist open the top of the tube where there is a line. You just need to squeeze and push it up kind of like a push up ice cream that they use to make in the United States. Only difference it is a plastic tube not made of paper. Binggrae Melona Melon Tube is not messy at all you can control how much you want to put in your mouth. If, I we're to choose I'd pick the Binggrae  Melona Melon Tube you can easily place it aside and doesn't come out only when you squeeze it out. Assi Fresh Plaza Inc  has a promotional where you can purchase it by five pieces a

Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing made in the USA

Carmina was introducing by Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing the year 2017 when I was visiting my dad and his wife during Memorial weekend. My dad and his wife brought me over to their close friend’s home who had cooked a meal during that time. They had served all sort of Filipino and American dishes.  The salad dressing they had was Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing during that time I was able to take two bottles back home to the Philippines. Now, I don't need to purchase it when I am traveling back to the United States and bring it home to the Philippines. Sometimes you get worried because it is made of glass bottle you don't want it to break during the packaging inside your luggage. I was able to purchase my Briannas Honey Mustard Dressing from Shopwise Grocery Store for PHP 239.00 ($4.78) 355ml.
