Kruster Lemon Cream Sandwich Cracker



Review:
Each pack contains 15 pieces of sandwich crackers.
The cream has the distinct smell and flavor that comes with lemon food flavoring, sweet with a lick of sour in the finish and lingers in your mouth for awhile. The cracker was made with shortening so they're airy and slightly salty. It didn't resist at all when I bite them. Very crunchy, very nice. They're quite sweet, but not as much as Lemonia. You could eat a few and still reaching for more.

This could go really well with tea. Skip the Earl Grey, it already has the citric punch. Instead, go for English Breakfast or Jasmine tea and you're in for a pleasant afternoon.

Chitato Mi Goreng flavor



Indomie Mi Goreng is world-famous and critically-acclaimed to be one of the tastiest instant noodle. Mainly produced in Indonesia, it is loved by locals who often would pack a few whenever travelling and those who living abroad would go as far as importing or smuggling through friends.

Few months ago, Chitato, a potato chip brand under the same manufacturer of Indomie, suddenly announced new flavor and it's everyone's favorite Indomie Mi Goreng. It caused quite an uproar back then and the stock rarely available as people kept buying them. There were mixed reviews; some says it's too spicy, tastes nothing like Indomie Mi Goreng at all, or they got addicted. Things have calmed down so we'll find out if it really worth all the hype or a failed epic mash-up.



Review:
Upon opening, the smell of mi goreng is out to my room. I gave a few sniff, picking the fragrance of fried shallots, chicken powder, and a bit of kecap manis. So far it's promising.

The bite of truth.
It's spicy. I didn't expect it to contain chili powder; must be to represent the chili sauce in the original Mi Goreng. Few munches later, I can confirm that this indeed tastes like Mi Goreng or better. Highly umami from chicken and garlic powder, contrasting sweetness from kecap manis and touch of heat from chili powder. Flavorful yet not sickening like other Chitato's flavor. The chips itself got a nice crunch. I think this might be my favorite Chitato flavor, other than the Plain Salt flavor. Now I know why people went as far as buying it in bulks. It's just THAT addictive.

Actually, this is quite amazing. It's been hours since I finished the bag yet my room is still smelling like Mi Goreng. I guess you know what I'm going to eat for my next meal.

Serena Milk Short Cake Cream Biscuits



Review:
It contains twenty pieces of biscuits per pack for less than a dollar. Sweet deal, I say.

Perfectly crunchy for a biscuit. Not too hard or too crumbly, just right. They're quite sweet thanks to the cream but the slightly chocolatey biscuit tone it down, resulting in a balanced flavor. If you're not a sweet tooth, this is perfect for you.

This biscuit might not be anything sort of special but it has no flaw either. With its affordable price tag, you might want to stock it up. They're great company to your favorite cup of coffee or tea.

Lay's Potato Chips Sour Cream and Onion Flavor



Review:
It doesn't smell much different from other Lay's flavor, only with a hint of onion. The sour cream and onion flavor is there but it's subtle. If anything, it's the salt that dominates the flavor. Thankfully it got nice crunch so I can still enjoy this as a chip on its own. I'll leave my sour cream and onion fix to Pringles.

Wall's Love Matcha



As you can see, the top is a bit crushed but it's the only one left so I've got no choice.

Review:
It's soft, like the usual Wall's economical line of 'ice cream'. Apostrophes because that type is closer to Soft Serve, which is a type of ice cream that is softer than regular ice cream as result of air being introduced during freezing. But even when compared to McDonald's vanilla cone, they aren't sweet enough, have a distinct chemical flavor, and melt very quickly so I can say they're low quality ice cream. Thankfully their premium line, the ones being sold in plastic box and bleached cardboard container, have better quality.

Back to the product. Love Matcha got vanilla ice cream for the top layer, green-tea ice cream in the middle with a layer of chocolate , crunchy cone, and white choco chips sprinkle. Inner tip of the cone is sealed with solid chocolate to prevent ice cream seeps out. The vanilla ice cream was so foamy, like whipping cream, while the green-tea one manages to stay a bit more solid. Flavor-wise, the vanilla wasn't anything special while the green-tea chocolate could use more sugar to balance the double bitterness from matcha flavor and chocolate. The part I enjoyed the most was actually the cone. It's sweet, crunchy, and slightly toasted.

To sums it up, it's in poor quality but considering they cost less than a dollar per piece, I guess it's just a realistic sacrifice to make frozen treats readily accessible for the people in lower economy spectrum.

If you can love Wall's ice cream, you can love this. But if you just love matcha flavor, you can skip this one and won't miss much.
