bombay mix


I bought this mix based on strong recommendation from my indian co-worker which has "chick pea flour, corn oil, moong, split peas, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, sugar, paprika, sesame seeds and chili powder" ... and she actually said "spicy, full of fiber and very good for women!"

Calories Peek: One pound mix has a whopping 2240 calories 

My beauty excuse: Apparently fennel can relax the uterus and promote natural breast enhancement, and coriander can help proper secretion of the hormones and thus induce proper menstrual cycles and reduce pains during periods. Amazing !

munchies for rabbits



Tomato. Potato. Spinach. I am starting to feel like a rabbit munching on these veggie straws heehee ... each straw is long and hollow in the middle which thus gives that crunchy bite, and you cannot taste any "veggie" flavor  ... taste more like salty grain chips ... 

Calories Peek: 7 oz bag has 910 calories ..

My beauty excuse: Mum, I am eating my vegetables ... and finishing all of them too !

exotic cream wafers



Coconut and Durian ... don't you feel like you are in an exotic place? ... You can taste the coconut flavor in the wafer, and it is has that crisp, light and not too sweet taste which I like ... as for the durian one, I find the smell too strong, or rather overpowering, for a wafer munch ... (ok, before you judge me, I am a actually durian fruit lover ... so I know what a durian is !)

Calories Peek: Two exotic wafers has 90 calories ... each pack has 24 wafers (trust me, it is so light you can consume all at one go!)

My beauty excuse: ... exotic ... beach ... sun ... relaxation ... calm ... breathe in ... breathe out ...

chips with full of sunshine


Got this big box from Costco which comes in 4 flavors - original, ceddar, onion, salsa ... started with the original one, the chip is crunchy and grainy, it has a saltiness-and-sweetness taste, the thinness makes it easier to munch too ... I would say go for original if you want the "healthy" taste, cheddar if you want the "cheese" taste, onion if you want the "strong" taste, and salsa if you want the "veges" taste ... hmmm, my choice --> salsa !

Calories Peek: 1.5 oz snack size has 210 calories ...

My beauty excuse: New type of chips in town called Grain Chips ! Suppose to be the healthy version made of corn, wheat, oats, buckwheat, whey protein ... geez, this munch is full of fibers!
