I had my first encounter with this last May, when my teammate arrived from a business trip in United States. She brought this along with a huge bag of assorted chocolates. Thanks, Leah, for introducing me to this addictive mixed nuts!

Kirland Signature Trail Mix

After a couple of months, I had this craving for the perfect sweet and salty combination and I cannot get this off my head. For nights, I was looking for people who are in the US, who will be coming home in the next months. I did not care if I have to wait as same thing will happen if I ask those online shops that accepts US pre-order. Thankfully, Ayex’s Ninong Roland was sent there by my previous company for a training. I messaged him over at Facebook and I was so happy he agreed.

The other night, hubby came home with the 4lb pack of this Kirkland Signature Trail Mix. I am solved! To make me more happy, Ninong Roland gave it to me for free! What an early Christmas gift!

Beijing Goodies: Preserved Peach

April 27, 2011 by 3 Comments

My teammate, Resty, spent his Holy Week in Beijing China. It has been a custom in our team to bring something for everyone every time we go elsewhere.

In his email, he said he was supposed to bring exotic street foods, just like our isaw and betamax, but way more exotic than ours.

What you see on sticks are cockroaches, scorpion, centipede, sea horse, etc. He planned on bringing those but are not allowable inside the airport.

So instead, he brought us the usual goodies. Among those, I liked this preserved peach the most. It is not too sweet nor too hard to chew. The size is also perfect as an afternoon merienda.
