So there was a cart at the Farmer’s market back home and they had these charity hotdog – to raise fund for some children’s place in town.  Not a bad day for a quickie – so asked for one.  In order to get fed, one just need to make a donation, so  I did.  I see a lot of people giving like a toonie or a loonie but I gave $5 and the guy selling the hotdogs asked if I only wanted one.  Guess he must think $5 is entitled to more?

I asked for cheese fries and they gave me this at KFC – oh well, might as well try it right – it came with a combo that we bought for the family.  The wife wanted to try the ribs and so I bought some chicken to eat with this.  The sour cream and the meat and tomato is really not my thing, couldn’t stomach it.  Next time, I know to be sure to check before leaving KFC.

Have a new flavored cake this week at the local supermarket and since the wife likes bananas, we decided to give it a try.  Nothing spectacular and the inside was white, so it was ok but we won’t buy it again – I guess.

My favorite munchie store – been here before I was in high school.  Now that has gotta say something right.  Whether you need a newspaper, a drink, a snack or a sandwich, they even have ice cream – here is where you go.

Loads of munchies

A friend’s kid had her birthday the other day and his sister had baked this cake entirely on her own from scratch.  Since the kid wanted a princess cake, she made one that looked like a princess crown.  Those pink and black stuff i think are bubble gums.  They tasted pretty good too – one thing the Western gals are good at is the baking and the cookie making.

A slightly healthier version of snacks, only 90 calories for one serving.  As it is the wife already thinks i eat too much munchies, so she suggested this for me instead.  BBQ flavored, pretty good but the bites are so small and they are so airy for me.  But nevertheless, at $2.49 a pack – it’s not bad if you want to stay healthier.

The bulk barn had been opened like almost a year now and when it first started, like everything else everyone was raving about it.  But it’s not as cheap as they want us to think.  A trip to bulk barn for the 3 of us can come up to easily $20 and the wife and the kid don’t eat a lot of munchies at that.  Can you imagine, the families that comes with junk food kiddos ?  daylight robbery the wife said.

We picked a little of everything, so that we can get to try everything that looks interesting in the store.  But the wife said not to get the turkish delight, it is nothing like the ones, you get from a Greece nor a greek restaurant.  Quite the disapointment especially there is a no tasting policy.

Don’t think it is healthy but it was cheap and at 50% off – can’t refuse an offer like these here.

I wasn’t kidding when I told you all that I liked junk food.  Krispy Kreme in Japan is a must when we had a stopover there.  I bought a bunch to share with the co-workers in India and they were thrilled.   Eating it fresh brings out the ultimate taste of these donuts but it still tasted pretty good after a few hours.  Located in Shinjiku, Tokyo – we never miss this store.

The wife said i had to go to the hottest hot dog stand when i am in L.A.  – I asked her which one because I have been to so many and she mentioned pink.  So dutifully like any good husband i went to take some pictures and eat some.  It was definitely packed as you can see, open till late and full of greasy ingredients but the people here just loves it.

Yes, love the varieties as you can see up here and definitely must have the onion rings and the pink pop. You can find pictures of hollywood stars pasted all over the walls of this hot dog shack.
