Yanjing's nonalcoholic beer review


This was my first time trying nonalcoholic beer, Yanjing claims it is China's #1 nonalcoholic beer, so I decided to give it a try. Like all beers, I didn't like the taste, I cannot pinpoint what the taste was, but it tasted weird with a weird bitter aftertaste (like those of artificial sweeteners). If you would like to try new things, I would recommend this, however if you are looking for a substitution for alcoholic beer, I suggest you to keep looking.

President's Choice - Greek flavored chips review


The President's Choice World of Flavours Greek chips combines Feta, Olives and Oregano flavours to one chip. This was one of the reasons why I had made this purchase because of my love for Greek food.

However, at my first bite, I wasn't impressed, because it tasted sour with hardly any hint of Feta cheese, Olives and Oregano present. However after several bites later, I can finally feel their presence, the reason why it tasted so sour was because of the Olive, and once you taste past the Olive you can feel the Feta and Oregano flavours sinking in.

Since this was a big bag, it took me over a month to finish (as I do not eat a lot of snacks at once), by the end of the second week, I have already been obsessed with the flavour. If you get a chance to come across this flavour, give it a try!

Scottish Toffee review


I sincerely apologize for the poor quality of this photo, I think my camera was having terrible problems so the picture quality is so bad. So let me describe the container a bit: it is supposingly a cylinder shaped tin can with the words Bonnie Prince Charlie, Scottish Traditional Toffee.

I have never had Scottish Toffee before, so I can't make a comparison. The Toffee tastes really good with strong caramelized flavor and extremely chewy, I highly recommend this.

白鶴酒 Hakutsuru Sake review




Hakutsuru Sake (白鶴酒) is the first wine I have tried that was served hot. yet, after my first gulp, I could totally taste the reason, because it was served hot, it allowed the alcohol to work to give it a strong taste giving an illusion of a higher alcohol percentage. I wasn't a very big fan of this drink, yes, indeed it tasted quite good, but it was too strong, a few small cups was more than enough for me.

Tim Horton's Frozen Raspberry Lemonade review


Nothing is more refreshing than a cup of frozen lemonade, especially when it is raspberry! Tim Horton's was doing their promotion of lemonade for just $1.

I really loved it, I usually avoid slushes because once you drink about half of the product, the rest is tasteless, this wasn't the case for this lemonade! I highly recommend it!

Coffee from Korea review


One of my friends was nice enough to bring back some Korean Coffee from South Korea. I liked it, I have never really liked strong coffees so I was able to appreciate this light coffee. I can't read any Korean so I have no idea of the brand or name of this product besides knowing it is a coffee, but hopefully if you come across this product you can give it a try! If any of you can type the name in Korean for me or translate it into English, please leave a comment below!

French Manicure attempt


It has been years since I have attempted the French Manicure, and as expected, I wasn't able to do a great job making my nails look as good as they could be.

The picture somehow made my French Manicure tips look weird, but they actually do look quite good in "real life"

I think the most important steps to making these French Manicure tips are:
1. Base Coat, so when you draw on the white lines the white nail polish stays better

2. It is best to use tape as a guide to make those lines, or you might end up with uneven lines (some looking bigger than others e.g. my pinky nail and my thumb)

3. Top Coat, without a top coat, it is easy for the white polish to wear out easier, and that's not good, if you have to redraw that line every 2 days.

Hope these tips help!

Bier Market review


I have been to Bier Market quite a few times so I will write a general review of this restaurant & Bar, since I know hardly anything about beer.

First, to get in you need an ID, they literally have a bouncer in the doorway checking to see if you are of legal age. You are then ushered by friendly servers to a table/bar depending on what's available and where you want to eat/drink. I find this second procedure a little disorganized, several times have I not been served to a table and ended up having to search for a table for myself (which is poor service).

I am totally impressed by their wide selection of beer, they literally have EVERY beer you can think of.

The food is ok, there are a lot of seafood choices, but it is a little pricey.

I would give this place a 4.5/5

Italian Sodas at Second Cup review


Italian Sodas at Second Cup! It was my first time trying Italian Sodas (I didn't have a clue what they were) and I liked it! Second Cup's Italian Sodas were on special for $1 for a Medium Soda Flavor of your choice between: Raspberry, Citrus or Lime.

So what are Italian Sodas you ask? Good question! Italian Sodas are Sparkling water mixed with fruity syrups.

Prior to this post, I have tried all three, and my favorite has to be Raspberry because the raspberry flavor works so well with the Sparkling water, while Lime and Citrus are less flavored compared to the Raspberry one.
