So when I saw Trader Joe’s Fireworks Chocolate Bar ($1.99 USD), I had to have and review it. “Like any good romance, Trader Joe’s Fireworks Chocolate bar is sweet and hot, with just enough explosive moments to […]

Before I get into my Tea Sparrow Subscription Tea Box review (and give you the promo code at the bottom!), let me give you a bit of background. Because of my Chinese heritage, tea has always been a big part of my life growing up. I remember my grandpa would always have a carafe of […]
Ever dreamt of browsing the racks of a grocery store and being able to just pull whatever you like off the shelf to try? I have, and therefore I was supremely stoked to get an invite to Grocery Showcase West 2014. Livin’ the dream! Grocery Showcase West is an annual trade show held by the […]
On my recent trip to the States I visited the beloved Trader Joe’s again, as with all my trips down South. This time one of the products that caught my eye was the Trader Joe’s Thai “Dry” Chili Paste. As Hitman is a huge fan of Thai food, I thought I could make good use […]
