Food Finds!

There isn't really much nice stuff in Duty Free. Nevertheless There are a few nice foodie finds....


If you watch the Food Network, there is a show there (well, used to be) called The Best Of, where the hosts goes to different cities and try the "best of" what that city offers. I remember they featured the White Castle burgers, but I forgot which city it belonged to! hehehe We came across it at the freezer section and bought a box out of curiosity...

Inside, you get 8 packs of 2 piece mini cheese burgers in microwaveable plastic wraps. You poke holes through the plastic and zap it in the microwave for 45 secs! It was actually good! I can tell they were really fatty burgers, but the box indicated just 17g of fat for the 2 burgers! 17g? MADAME NA PALA YUN ;p hahahahah Maybe I expected more. 310 cals per servinf (2 pcs per serve).
Here is another best of...Philly Cheese Steak Sanwiches!

They are like mini-sub sandwiches with deli-thin sliced beef and mozzarella cheese! They are individually wrapped in paper, so you just take out the sticker that closes the paper pack together and microwave for 90secs!!!



I like them better when toasted after microwaving to make the bun toasty =) It's really good!

Fast food from the freezer! At 410 calories per serving and 20g of fat! Yikes! I'm sorry, I really read labels of food----food tech kase ako, can't help it it's in the blood! =)

Fun foodie finds, but eat with caution, homemade sandwiches are still the best! =)

Hi, I came across your blog via gypsy soul (nena). OMG, white castle burgers!!!! Didn't know you could get them here (or at least the frozen kind). They are fatty, and in the States, you'd eat like 6 of them or 12 in some cases (great for hangovers).

Jen Tan said...

hello m.tan! Yes!!! They are available at Duty Free Philippines!!!

6 or 12??? WHOA!!! So far I have only manage to eat one piece at in one sitting..although I have my shobes(youger sisters)as "kaagaw" and being the good older sis that I am...I let the younger ones go have 'em first! ;Phahahaha. As we speak, they are just a memory to me as the box we bought has already been wiped out!Nonetheless, I am sure they left a good impression in our arteries! hahaha

Thank you for reading me and dropping a line =)
