For the fee

Banofeee, to be exact.

Here's another discovery from SG.

Yup, Nissin has Banoffee wafers!

While it's not as good and flavourful as the Banoffee pie of Banapple, it's a good snack if you want a lighter version of that.

Way back Wafer

 Lola Dita would always have a lot of food in their room. In fact, they even had a double door fridge inside their room, and they would keep a stash of goodies there, like ice cream, chocolates and gummies from Spain.

Another thing that Lola would always have was a can of Nissin Chocolate Wafers. Back then, my eyes would always gravitate to the big, brown can with a very interesting vintage graphic. It showed a street scene from (what I felt like was) the 1940s, and had different women in bikes. 

They stopped producing that can here in the Philippines, and that memorable visual was gone from our shelves.

But apparently, it's still pretty much alive in Malaysia.

You could just imagine my thrill after seeing this. It felt like being back in my childhood, inside Lola Dita & Lolo Iking's room in Morato.

Amazing how snacks can be a way of going back.

Scramble!

Strange but true: I haven't tasted Ice Scramble (or Iskrambol) in my life.

That said, this wafer from Lawson is going to be the closest I'll get to this iconic Pinoy street concoction:

I'm not sure how Ice Scramble really tastes like, so I'll just just believe this wafer when they say it tastes like this.

My name is (Cafe de) Lucca

If this was a Friday Magic Madness post, we all know where this would be going. (Hint: Suzanne Vega.)

But it’s Saturday, so it must be about something else.

That something is a new discovery from my Snackers Haunt in Cubao.

This Cafe de Lucca Strawberry Wafer Roll is super delish! It’s like my favorite Giziku, but in my Go-to fruit flavor.

I’ll remember this name from now on.

Major-Major(ico)

Another day, another snacking discovery.

Since way, way, way back then, from the time of Giziku and Stik-O, I’ve been a huge fan of Wafer rolls. Especially Giziku which I would just devour!

When Wafer rolls started, it was usually just chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.

But as time went by, more and more flavors were introduced. And from my usual chocolate and strawberry, I, too, have expanded my Wafer Roll repertoire to include these flavors from Majorico which I found at my online Snacker haunt:

Yup, Matcha and Milk Vanilla!

Was it good? 

Yes, Major(ico) good!

Dalgona but not forgotten

It's been almost a year since the first Community Quarantine status was implemented in the country.

That means it's been almost a year since we were introduced to Ube-Cheese Pandesal, Burnt Basque Cheesecake, Baked Sushi and Dalgona Coffee.

Yup, them food trends that were brought about by the whole CQ situation.

While some of those trends are still pretty much around, some of them have laid low. One of those under the "laid low" category is Dalgona Coffee. It's rare that people talk about it or write about it anymore.

Except for me. Because of this particular discovery.

Yes, there's Dalgona Coffee Wafers! It was something that I found (and bought) at one of my online snack haunts.

Let's see if this is enough to revive that forgotten trend.

You can stand under my Fiorella... ella... ella...

Another day, another yummy discovery.

After the Fiorella wafer bar from a few weeks back, I became interested in the brand and researched what other yummy offerings they have.

That led to the discovery of this Fiorella Crunch White!

It's a good balance of texture and flavours. From the creamy, white chocolate to the thin, crispy wafer, to the hazelnut filling. Each one is subtle, so when meshed together, each profile works and blends together.

What other yummers hides behind the Fiorella brand? That, we'll have to find out.

Finding Fiorella

Here's another fabulous find!

Fiorella Dark Wafer!

Saw it randomly while doing groceries online, and thought of trying it.

Amazing what you can discover online these days.
