Snack Time: Oishi Gourmet Picks Potato Chips in Salted Egg Flavor

-
What?! Just when I thought we're over the salted egg phase, a big basket filled with bright yellow bags of potato chips suddenly arrived on my door step. I was seriously so surprised to received this as I didn't know a delivery was to be made and I've never seen this specific chip variant ever before.

It's the new Oishi Gourmet Picks Potato Chips in...*dan dan dan dannnn*...Salted Egg Flavor!

If you remember back when I was still residing in the Lion City, I got into this major salted egg craze starting from that memorable dinner at Irvin's Live Seafood House. Yes, that popular salted egg chips that got the entire region hoarding actually had a full service restaurant before and that's where those chips were born. Two years after that visit, the entire Lion City went Salted Egg crazy! From the traditional liu sha bao (salted egg custard bun) to all sorts of creative salted egg infused dishes from Chicken Cordon Bleu stuffed with Salted Egg, Salted Egg Pasta, Salted Egg Pizza, Salted Egg Croissant and of course, my all time favorite -- Salted Egg Pork Ribs.

That salted egg craze has spread like wildfire and it has reached our shores. I have to say though that I was quite impressed by Oishi's take on the famous Salted Egg Potato Chips. First, let's talk about the packaging. Contained in a bright yellow bag, you'll sure catch this among all the potato chips displayed in the supermarket shelf. Secondly, the taste. The salted egg flavor was definitely very present and I love how the chips stayed so crisp. Making this is easy and challenging at the same time. I have attempted to do so twice and it was quite a challenge to keep the chips crisp over a long period of time. Given that the way this chips were made involved a more advanced process, I love how the flavor was evenly spread out that not a single chip was left unflavored or not coated by the salted egg flavoring. I also love that the salted egg has a sweeter taste and it wasn't too rich or overwhelming at all.

Lastly, the price. For a little over Php. 30, you get a bag of Oishi Gourmet Picks Salted Egg Chips. That's literally a tiny fraction vs. how much the famous branded salted egg potato chips costs. In other words, you get more bang for your buck with the Oishi Gourmet Picks Salted Egg Chips. I got a basket of about a dozen chips and I happily spent the recent Holy Week snacking on these regularly.

Grab your own bag of Oishi Gourmet Picks Salted Egg Chips at any major supermarket near you. Enjoy!

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
