Limited Edition Snack Spotlight :: Rapsberry Kitkat

This is the BEST specialty Kit Kat that I have ever eaten. Hands down. No brainer. If I could have a bucket full of these I would shove them into my mouth faster than you could say the word berry.

What flavour is it? Well, it's raspberry flavour. Now, raspberries are my favourite berry. If there is a raspberry flavour I will be picking it. For example, one of my favourite special drinks at Starbucks is a half sweet white mocha latte with 1-2 pumps of raspberry. Put raspberry in anything.

Well, this Kit Kat is raspberry flavour and they got all the things I love about that beautiful berry. It was a little sweet but more than that...it was tart. It had a nice sweet tartness to the chocolate wihch is what I love about raspberries. They have a beautiful balance of sweet and sour.

The bar ended up a little melted in the summer heat but after a little rest in the fridge it was delicious. I couldn't even eat it in my normal way. (I like to nibble the edges of the chocolate off and then eat the wafer). This bar...I just had to eat it.

Like all other mini Kit Kats, a single bar has 64 calories.

Ramen Reviews :: Maru-Chan Shoyu Ramen

Another look at some Maru-Chan ramen. This time the Shoyu (soy sauce) flavour. I enjoy shoyu ramen because it's got a less oily texture in comparison to tonkatsu ramen. This was no exception to that rule. It was definitely less oily than the previous ramens. It had a nice soy flavour to it. The noodles were thicker and I enjoyed their firm texture. They had a nice chewiness to them. I dolled up my bowl of ramen with a hardboiled egg, boy choi, carrots and bean sprouts. I split the noodles and broth in half to make two meals from it as I typically do. One package is a bit lower in calories than the previous ones. A package is 340 calories, 66g of carbohydrates, 4g of fat, 10g of protein and 2,300 mg of sodium. Instant ramen is always going to be high in sodium which is why it's important to be mindful and not eat it frequently. Also to dress it up with as many veggies and good things as you can!!

Adult Corner :: Asahi Orange Lime Chu-hi

Asahi does quite a few varieties of high alcohol chu-hi drinks. It's always hard to tell which ones are new or not though because they seem to do mostly citrus combinations. On top of that, Japan has a plethora of citrus fruits outside of the ones I'm familiar with. Bushukan, bunkan, haruka, etc. There's so many it can be dizzying. This one was orange and lime. A combination I hadn't ever considered before. I've done lemon and lime but never orange and lime. It was really good. There was a strong orange flavour at the beginning. The hint of lime came at the back end of it and left a pleasant tingle on your tongue. It was overall pretty sweet. One 355 mL can contains: 193 calories.

Adult Corner - Strong Zero Freeze Peach & Mango

The mango Strong Zero was delicious, the peach one is also pretty good. So when I saw this one at the store I knew I had to try it. I bought a big can but regretted this a bit. Why? Well, we'll get into that later. Let's talk about the flavour first. The peach and mango work okay together. The burning flavour of alcohol was a bit more present than with the mango but not as bad as peach. Peach doesn't work all that well with Strong Zero but it's okay. I think it works okay together. Here's the problem....the calorie content was insane. Normally for a Strong Zero the calories are around 50 - 54 calories per 100mL. This one? 81. 81 calories for 100mL! That's ridiculous!! The moment I saw the contents I almost chucked this out the window. The flavour was mediocre and absolutely NOT WORTH IT in terms of how many calories you're getting out of it. Plus, Strong Zeros are light enough to drink that you can drink one quickly without an issue. A 500mL can has ...
