Snack Attack


I go through weird food phases, during which I have constant craving for a certain food and I'll keep eating it over and over again until I move on to the next phase.

Bee's amazed at my ability to eat the same thing everyday and not get sick of them.

The behaviour is actually very in line with my obsessive compulsive personality, if you think about it. :P

Last week, I couldn't stop thinking about char kuey teow and fried bee hoon (Singapore noodles). I kept on bugging Bee to buy them for me despite his well-meaning nagging about how unhealthy they are.

But this weekend, it's all about chocolatey snacks! (Yes, there is nagging about them too.)

Let's stick our heads into my pantry and see what I've been nibbling on.

Cakes from Secret Recipe

Chocolate and banana cake (My favourite from Secret Recipe)

Chocolate walnut brownie

Loacker Quadratini - Napolitaner

All hazelnut fans have to try these crispy wafer squares with rich filling!

I didn't like this one bit

My current favourite - Oreo Wafer Bites
Oh-so-smooth-and-creamy!

Dark chocolate pecan cookies by Pepperidge Farm

And of course, the good ol' Famous Amos cookies

Freshly baked chocolate chip and pecan cookies
(Ready packed ones never taste as good.)

Now, what have you been munching on?

Mentos. Those are seriously addictive!

Mmm... but your Famous Amos cookies look better. *snatches some and runs away*

Oh but you must try the Muzic Hazelnut or Chocolate flavour (Purple or Red packages respectively). I haven't tried the one that you've bought (vanilla) but I think it won't be nice. But please, you HAVE to try the hazelnut or chocolate ones! I promise you, you'll be hooked!! Those were my comfort food especially in times of stressful exam periods! :)

Chocolate ar, too sweet for me... not my cup of tea...

helo there ;) Found your blog from elvawenn's and cbenc12's. In respond to your JPN post, I would say they are the best gov department in M'sia. Not like I have the experience but I seldom hearpeople complain about their working attitude and so on. I guess it's because they have to make the newly-wed happy, who wants to be annoyed on their wedding day right? Try mess with people big day and you will be doomed? *LOL*

I have a very obsessive compulsive personality and I can eat the same thing over and over again too! LOL Have been munching cheesers for the past few days! Cheese attack!

Lucifer: If you can eat the same thing for lunch for A WHOLE MONTH, you, my friend, have some sort of obsessive compulsive personality in my book. :D

Emotionalistic: Haha. So it lasts longer than expected huh?

Elvawenn: They don't just "look" better, they taste pretty damn good too! *Happily munches away* Hehe.

Iamthewitch: Haha. Alrighty, I'll grab some when I'm at the store next time. But only because you said so. :P

Olive Poppy said...

Josephine: Lucky you! I wish I like veggies and fruits too, but I think I'm programmed to only crave for unhealthy junk food. Bummer! :/

Doreen: Did you try their chocolate and banana cake? I think I can eat the whole cake by myself if no one stops me. :D

Cbenc12: Oh you ain't seeing nothing yet, sista! You should see my secret junk food stash in Melb. Haha.

Sab: We girls can never get enough sweets and desserts, can we? :)

Olive Poppy said...

Irene: Hey, welcome! :D
I think the JPN staff really do take their jobs seriously. I was especially impressed by how cheerful they are at work, instead of being all grumpy and impatient. And I totally didn't expect that email! That was such a pleasant surprise. :)

Ld: Or maybe we're just both weird huh? :P

The Constantly Dramatic One: Because I can, uh huh! Uh huh! *Chews loudly*
(I'm pretty sure what I just did is illegal? Joking saja yah? Haha.)

Cc: Oh yes, a fellow OCP! And we're proud to be, yes? :D *Group hugs*
