Vitwater

It was a hot day when I saw this cold bottle of Vitwater at a small sari sari store on my way home from work. The bright color caught my eye... the "It's water + fat-burning" phrase on the label made me grab a bottle!

There are a lot of bottled drinks coming out in the market lately. A lot of promises, a lot of labels, a lot of tables and percentages and calorie counts or discounts to check.

I finished a bottle in one sitting. It wasn't bad. Though I wasn't expecting it to be that sweet. Not much of a thirst quencher. I would have wanted it a bit more bland.

Eng Bee Tin Store

I don't need to go to Chinatown anymore whenever I need a dose or two of EBT hopia! I was glad to find their outlet store inside Walter Mart in Makati.

The different varieties of hopia are there... even the "combi" ones.

Plus, the store offers so much much more than just hopia...

The tikoy rolls look good. I have to try them next time I visit.

These other Eng Bee Tin products are worth coming back to.

KFC Surfers

I was quite disappointed with KFC Surfers that's why I decided to make my own ebi fry last week. I guess I expected so much from this.

The shrimps they used were small.... the breading was too thick.... the breaded shrimps were curled and misshapen after frying... there just wasn't anything special about the dish. Even the sweet chili dip was nothing new. For three small shrimps in one order, I don't think the price is reasonable.

The macaroni salad always saves the day for me in KFC. Good thing I added this to my order that night.

I don't think it is finger lickin' good this time. I'll just stick with their chicken next time.

Sun Call & Text International SIM

Just when I thought I couldn't be any happier with my Sun prepaid service, their Call & Text International SIM came out! I got the chance to try it a while ago to see if true to their promise, I will only spend P1.00 per SMS to my sister in Arizona.

The new sim is preloaded with P5.00 worth of regular load and free 5 mins of international call. I texted my sister as soon as I put the sim in my phone. I wasn't expecting much because we all know how much Sun needs to improve on its signal coverage and SMS delivery time... but lo and behold, several minutes later, I got a call from my sister on my cellphone! She got my text!

I told her to hang up and let me try to see if I could call her back using my new sim, easily and fast.... and again, to my surpise, I was able to, easily and fast!

Who needs a landline when you can call abroad cheaper with the Sun Call &Text International SIM! At $.10 a minute, that is pretty tough to beat, don't you think? Even Yotsuba agrees.

Trust Sun to come up with packages and features that are unbelievably sulit and tipid.
