Jolly Pong 죠리퐁

This is Oppa's 6 pack...LOL... Six packs of snacks for everyone (actually, it's just for me but, the  phrase "스낵 친구들" on the package translates to "snacks for friends")!

I'll kick off the six pack review with the popular Jolly Pong 죠리퐁. 

Given that it's a corn & wheat based cereal, it has 150 kcal. Not bad for those on a diet..and still a lot better than a bag of 350 kcal potato chips. ^^

Here are the corn puffs of Jolly Pong 죠리퐁 out from the bag.

Puffed corn glazed with honey or sugary syrup.

And since it can be considered as a breakfast cereal, I usually eat my Jolly Pong 죠리퐁 snack with milk... milk tea! ♥



Product Name: Jolly Pong 죠리퐁... I guess it's just a catchy name for a snack..a Jolly good snack.

Hole in the Pocket: I'm not sure about it's actual selling price in a grocery. I'm guessing, no more than Php 40 a bag.

First Impression: Because of it's popularity (yes, if you search "Jolly Pong" in Google, you're bound to find a great deal of reviews), I was expecting it to live up to its fame. The packaging is simple and you'll know you're about to it some kind of puffed corn cereal.

Taste Buds Say: Crunchy and sweet! But not too sweet..reminds me of Honey Stars. Though it's texture is kinda rough, probably because of the wheat, it's okay for me. It's distinct cereal/grainy taste makes you feel like you're actually eating a healthy snack. However, because of it's "puffed" nature and a single piece seems to be 60% air, you'll have to scoop out and throw more than 7 pieces of puffed pieces to appreciate it.

K-rating: 4/5.. my snack of choice when I feel too fat for potato chips. ^o^

Kimchi Sabalmyeon 김치 사발면


김치 사발면... Kimchi Sabalmyeon. Tried to copy the photo on its cover..but FAIL. haha. Note: 김치 사발면 Kimchi Sabalmyeon DOESN'T come with the actual kimchi. You gotta buy it in a grocery or resto. ^^;;

김치 사발면 Kimchi Sabalmyeon tastes better with actual Kimchi  김치 ...~

Still can't copy the bowl noodle's appearance on the cover - no matter what the angle.


Product Name: Kimchi Sabalmyeon 김치 사발면...  I think it translates to Kimchi Bowl Noodle (사발면).

Hole in the Pocket: Costs around PhP 40-45 in groceries.

First Impression: Given the orange-themed cover, I was expecting it to be very spicy.

Taste Buds Say: Delish! Wasn't spicy enough for me to not be able to sip some soup. It's spiciness level was just right and it's great to keep one warm in a rainy day. I recommend putting in some slices of kimchi 김치 for added flavor, texture, and crunch. It really has that kimchi taste and the noodles stay firm even after being soaked in soup for a while. If there's no kimchi 김치, you can pair it with seaweed laver or gim (김). ^^b

K-rating: 5/5... tasty and just the right "hot".
