Frozen, Sweet, Creamy Delight

my craving for sweets is at an all-time high right now - hello calories! good thing i go to the gym and burn it all off. somehow.

creaMMMMMMy!

a spoonful of yummy goodness

this dessert from dizon farms, a famous supplier of vegetables, fruits, and now ready-to-eat snacks, is creamy, tangy, and not too sweet. the graham crackers layered, or should say, shoved, in between the rich, velvety goodness of sweet cream makes it even more tempting.

the snack patrol breakdown:

• it comes in a reusable plastic container, which keeps it very, very handy
• it's ready-to-eat and relatively inexpensive (of course it's cheaper if you make your own)
• it's available in major supermarkets like Rustan's and SM Hypermarket
• even though it's made up of mostly cream, it's not going to make you say, "it's too much"
• the balance in taste satisfied your craving for something sweet and filling
• the serving size is perfect for sharing with a friend, or for a second round of snack time
• it could use a bit more graham crackers and a bit more of fruit
• i wish this is available in every mini-stop and 7-11 around the corner so i wouldn't have to walk under the hot sun too long

Itadakimasu! Sanko's Cheese Almond Rice Cracker

this snack found its way to me through my officemate. i'm not sure where she got it, but its definitely not because she went to japan. i searched for it in my neighborhood grocery's international food section, and i didn't find it. maybe i need to go to Aji-Ichiban. it's a food-find haven, or should i say, snack-find haven?

the snack patrol breakdown:

• packaging is very nice and appealing - i love how big the japanese characters are and how clean-looking it is. i'm a minimalist. i love lots of white space.
• it's individually wrapped so the rice crackers don't get tough, chewy, or makunat
• it tastes weird the first time you bite into it. the cheese (white part) is salty, the almond is bland, the rice cracker biscuit is a bit salty and sweet, with that distinct "rice cracker taste" to it.
• the taste eventually grows on you
• the texture is, you know, "cracker-y". the cheese feels like you're biting into a morsel of white chocolate. and the almond is crunchy.
