We chanced upon a Mini Food and Wine Fair 

featuring A Taste of New Zealand 

held at the Plaza Singapura Mall by Cold Storage last week. 

And oh boy! were we in for a treat!

Review: Adobomart : An Online Filipino Grocery Store in Singapore

When you work overseas, homesickness is one of the hardest challenge you'll ever have to conquer. There are some things that makes it bearable -- the TFC channel, a kababayan you work with, a Skype call from our families or even Facebook updates from friends back home. Apart from Filipino company, we all miss that distinct Filipino taste in our food. From the simplest merienda (snack) to that grand fiesta food we all yearn for. 

A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a new online grocery store that carries Philippine branded groceries. I give you Adobomart! It is cleverly named after a famous dish of the Filipinos - Adobo. That alone makes the temptation of online shopping difficult to resist. And once you're in, it's hard to leave empty handed. 

New Peanut Butter Experience: Pic's Really Good Peanut Butter (Review...Sort of!)

So today, I had to go grocery shopping...alone. Sometimes I love doing it alone, and just going through one aisle after another, and then back again. I love discovering new food or new brands. On the other hand, I tend to over buy things I don't really need or even want. And I always end up buying more than my budget and even worse, more than what I can carry. And when I get home, my hands and fingers are cursing me silently as blood has drained out of them.

It's not everyday you find awesome grocery finds. But today was amazing! I found a new peanut butter brand that caught my attention because of the packaging, or should I say, label. I love labels that looks organic, homemade or anything that looks human made. This one shows awesome use of fonts and is very catchy, what with the phrase 'Really Good'.
