Want to make and read your fortune the Hello Kitty way? Then use this Hello Kitty Fortune Cookie Maker!

Unlike the typical crispy  fortune cookie, this one is made out fondant. I’m not sure if that will be any good, but I have a strong hunch your fortune will definitely be sweet!

All that food talk is making me drool for dessert of the cupcake variety, especially if it’s from…

These beat Magnolia Bakery and maybe even Billy’s Bakery hands down! Red Velvet on the left, Brownie cupcake to the right.

Both are extremely good and both to me are winners! Yum!

I am seriously wanting these too! Wah!

Mitsuwa sushi is the best I swear! Well, first because it’s from  a Japanese grocery and not some random salad bar/sushi place. And second, I can’t complain about the price! It’s just less than $5 each!

Here’s a recent Mitsuwa discovery!

It’s from Tokyo Hanten, one of the food stalls in Mitsuwa’s food court and this was really yum!  It’s like the shrimp with mayo and fruit salad from President in Binondo (although take note, I said like. Nothing beats the President version!)

This dish is quite pricey though. I paid almost $10 for this one!

When it’s raining hard and the cool breeze out wafts through the open window, my Mom and I crave for a delicious beef noodle soup from Mitsuwa…

Oh the beefy broth and the chewy slippery noodles are just calling out to me! Unfortunately, can’t do much about our desire, since I can’t take my Mom and Berry out when it rains! Sigh!

Meanwhile, Hello Kitty’s sporty fans/sneaker fanatics are going to go gaga for these limited edition Asics sneakers.

Hmmm, I can’t decide if they are cute or embarrassing to wear. What do you think?

I love restaurant tableware, but I wouldn’t go to the extreme of stealing them off the table! So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these at Bed, Bath & Beyond…

These are normally used to hold cream or maple syrup, but I bought three for fish sauce (patis), vinegar and soy sauce!

Cool idea huh?!

My sister and her hubby and in-laws stood in line for 2 hours at Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn for this:

Grimaldi’s is an institution when it comes to pizza, boasting of thin crust pizza with fresh mozarella baked in a coal-fired brick oven to give it a smoky taste and crisp crust. Tourists and locals come to Grimaldi’s for the experience alone.

Admittedly, the pizza is good. But with a Brooklyn style pizza place near our apartment, which we can get in 20 minutes tops, why wait 2 hours for this? It’s not worth it apparently! As my sister said, Fuhgedaboutit!

Check out this huge gum ball stand at Modell’s, a sporting goods store near our place! It’s almost as tall as I am!

Each gum ball costs 25 cents, that’s about Php 12.50 a piece in Philippine currency! Quite expensivo huh?

The colors look so attractive and tempting though! If I were a kid, I might just ask my mom or dad for a quarter just to see the gum ball drop into my grubby little hands, hahaha!

Goodness, gracious! I was craving for Kettle Corn (you know, me and my “healthy” snacks…) and I saw this in the “healthy snacks section” of our neighborhood grocery…

It was yummy!!! I finished the bag in 3 days!!! And I just found it amusing that it was made in Popcorn, Indiana! Yep, there is such a place! See?
