Maxim Patissiena - Café Choco Parfait Instant Coffee Review

Maxim Patissienma is a brand of fancy "cafe" coffee drinks. I say fancy, but they're not too fancy considering they come in stick form. Also, the picture on the front makes the drink look much, much better than it really is. You do not get that much delicious foam and the chunks are kinda gross, unlike the picture. Each...

UFO Yakisoba Instant Noodles Review

I have an obsession with Yakisoba Noodles. My absolute favorite instant yakisoba is the Ippei-chan with the mayo packet. I just love these and could eat them for every meal. Since I love yakisoba so much, I decided to order several bows of the UFO noodles. They looked really good, so why not? Each package is around 600 calories, which...

Mine was a little dented, but it didn't matter because most of the sticks inside...
