My Turkey Diaries: Nutella B-ready

When I was in Turkey I found this snack called Nutella B-ready at Macro for only 8TL. And that time I thought it was extremely expensive. Now when I went back to UAE I found the same snack at Emirates Coop for around 20AED and above. Which buying it from Turkey makes it more affordable than in UAE.

It has been months since I spent a month in Turkey but I feel like there are still many tidbits story that I can share.

Bear Brand and Alaska 🇵🇭

Not sure if I posted this already but here it is anyway. Alaska Busog Lusog Oatmeal and Alaska Chocolate. I had been away from Philippines for more than a decade now. That I do not know what's new with the food items back home. I am certain that these doesn't exist a decade ago. I found these at Al Maya and each packet cost 1.95AED and I purchased them to know what they taste like. Not exactly my favorite. But will drink them anyway if given to me.

Thanks again for dropping by.. I am sure I still have a lot of Asian products to share in the future. But one at a time.

Before and After Marriage

Pampanga's Best Chomps

Hey porky lovers like me ♥
I found this Pampanga's Best Chomps sausage in Al Maya. Price for a packet is around 11AED to 15AED. No doubt about it being a delicious bite size sausage. But then I find that this is not for me. I am still a bacon girl at heart.

That's all for today. More Asian goodies to come. More Asian skin care to come. ☺

Korean's Seaweed 🇰🇷

I became aware of seaweed only later in life. I mean I know sushi and whatever Asian rice rolls but I do not know what is the green thing is called. And I do not know that I can eat is as a snack. And when I do, I cannot stop myself from eating. Price is the only thing that is holding me back. Price is the reason why I do not have a stock right now. At the photo is one of the Korean seaweeds brand you can find in UAE market. I got this one from Waitrose Dubai Mall. One bag has 3 packets of these for only 7.00AED and you have to consumed it as soon as possible because if you don't even if it is not yet expired, the taste can be funny.

Once again, thanks for dropping by.

Till my next Asian snack find. ♥

Korean's Crispy Roll

I found another Asian snack that I like. It is called Neo Crispy Roll and it is Korean. Unfortunately for me this is expensive as it cost around 11.00AED and it is available only in Waitrose Dubai Mall. Here are the photos of the said snack:

It has 3 variants but I have taken only two. Cream cheese and cheddar cheese. It is like a wafer or rice roll with filling inside. Writing this post as one of the purposes of this blog is to share whatever Asian snacks and ingredients I find in this country. Ciao!

Thanks for dropping by.

Till the next Asian snack I find ♥

Goodbye #67: Pink Bikini

Saying goodbye to another item of mine. I will continue to do so until I reach my goal. I would have spend a day or two to finish it but then I have to go to work and run errands when I am not working. I purchased it years ago. 5 years ago maybe? When I was still stupid when it comes to my finances. You see in a year I barely go swimming and yet I accumulated a dozen or so bikinis. Please do not be a hoarder like me. Hoarding is never fun.

I am more determined than ever to keep on going with my goal. Because every single day I always find cockroaches to kill inside the house. In the past people judged me as someone who does not clean the house on daily basis hence the cockroaches. But I do not know anymore what else to do to make the place cockroach free. That in the end the only solution I can think of is keep on reducing the items I own and even the food. So they will not have any space to hide. But another concern is I am not alone in the house. Maybe I will deal about it once I am done with my own stuff.

Goodbye #66: Being Human Pink Pants

Time flies. Only back in June 2015 when I found out the Splash in Dubai Outlet Mall that offers the most affordable jeans in UAE (or so I thought) and I was still in my hoarding phase. I purchased far too many. There was a point that I already have at least 90 jeans. What did I achieved? Nothing. Nada. Just regrets. And now February 2017 I celebrate my 5 months of not buying any clothing. Feels good to liberate myself from hoarding. Will probably keep on raiding my closet and drawers for months to come.

Goodbye #65: Jennyfer Gray Sweater

Goodbye, Jennyfer gray sweater and thank you for the memories. If there is any. I purchased this more than a year ago because someone told me to. As this is for winter. But then the winter in the UAE is not that much cold. As a matter of fact we never even once had to switch off the AC at work or at the flat. And I never get the chance to wear any of my winter outfits. I mean the thick ones. I go to office wearing something else aside from the uniform but it's the kind of top you wear over your bikini. And I told myself that in order to achieve that owning only 100 items or items that would fit into two luggage  only, whatever winter outfit I will not be able to use until February ends has to go. Whatever clothing I won't be able to wear (not the winter clothing) until March ends has to go.
