Wanchai Ferry Review and Giveaway!!


Thanks to MYBLOGSPARK, I got to try Wanchai Ferry's Frozen Entree! Each frozen entrée has all the ingredients needed to prepare a great-tasting, complete Chinese meal for 2 in only 14 minutes! They come in five delicious flavors including Orange Chicken, Shrimp Lo Mein, Spicy Garlic Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken and Sweet & Spicy Shrimp. Additionally, all of the entrees have no added MSG!

We decided to try both the Orange Chicken and the Shrimp Lo Mein and make it a Chinese night. The Orange Chicken was too sweet for our taste buds, but my sisters really loved the spices they used and the amount of veggies. We had a problem with the rice turning out gushy, and they need to supply some extra sauce. It would actually be better without the rice, we think, so you may want to try that. The Shrimp Lo Mein was very sweet, and we found the shrimp too chewy, but that could be our own stove. The pasta didn't really fit as the noodles weren't Chinese-style, and the carrots need to be cooked longer as they are really thick. We also were not the biggest fans of the breading, but again, that is just our personal preferences. One thing we noticed was there are a lot of instructions, so you really have to keep your wits about you as you make these entrees.

For people who like sweet food, this will probably be a fave. I have never been a fan of sweet meat, so that probably influenced my take on it. It wasn't like I am saying it was bad, we just found it too sweet for our taste buds. If you like Chinese though, and you like sweet meat, or sweet food period, go out and pick from one of Wanchai Ferry's 5 meals. You get to cook Chinese at home, without having to have a culinary degree.

With Wanchai Ferry™ Frozen Entreés, you can enjoy Chinese restaurant quality Shrimp Lo Mein in your own home in 14 minutes. And there's no delivery guy involved.

  • THE FOUNDATION TO A GREAT MEAL Succulent shrimp that stay tender as you stir-fry them.
  • SOME SERIOUS NOODLES A generous serving of classic lo mein noodles that steam perfectly in just 2 minutes in your microwave.
  • WHOLESOME VEGETABLES Enjoy large cuts of Asian-style vegetables, like julienne carrots, sweet red peppers and baby cob corn.
  • COMPLEX FLAVOR MADE SIMPLE We’ve done the work for you, with a delightful, classic soy, ginger and garlic lo mein sauce.

Yoplait Whips! Review and Giveaway!!!

Thanks to MYBLOGSPARK, I got to try Yoplait Whips! Surprisingly, the delicious taste of Yoplait Whips! can also be enjoyed as a frozen treat! Simply place your favorite Whips! yogurt cup in the freezer overnight and you will have a chilled yogurt indulgence that you don't have to get from the ice-cream truck or at the parlor So this summer, before you hit the beach, park or your own backyard, don't forget to stock your freezer with Yoplait Whips! (We suggest removing the Yoplait Whips! from the freezer for 5-10 minutes before enjoying).


Yoplait Whips! are currently available in a variety of delectable flavors Strawberry Mist, Chocolate, Key Lime Pie, Orange Crème, Chocolate Raspberry, Lemon Burst, Peaches 'N Cream and Raspberry Mousse. Also, try Yoplait Whips! newest flavor Vanilla Creme which just hit store shelves!
Yoplait, the only leading yogurt with vitamin D in every cup!

I decided to buy the Chocolate Mousse and freeze it, and I bought a Strawberry one to try just as normal yogurt. Okay here is my review for the strawberry. I love the taste, it is juicy and delicious, but I did find the whipped factor to be a little strange. Maybe it is just the fact that I am used to yogurt having a certain consistency. It isn't a bad one, it is just foreign to me. I think people who like whipped cream cheese and items like that will love Yoplait Whips. It has the same delicious taste as normal Yoplait yogurts, just whipped. And the strawberry taste was really good. The frozen Chocolate Mousse was interesting. It still has that whipped quality to it, so it isn't like ice cream, but it's not like frozen yogurt either. I can't say I would eat this, personally, but if I was on a diet that restricted most ice cream and such, I might freeze some of the fruit flavored Whips to try. Freezing the chocolate might have been the wrong move, as my taste buds were expecting something akin to ice cream.

Thanks to BlogSpark, I get to give away ONE "Summer Cool Down" giftbag!

This includes a cooler tote, popsicle molds and a set of 12 color-changing spoons!!

I can even give you a $0.60 off downloadable coupon. Click Here!

Each cup includes the creamy, delicious taste you expect from Yoplait, and you don't have to feel guilty about enjoying it. It comes in Strawberry, Peach, Vanilla and Key Lime Pie!

Introducing the creamy Fiber One yogurt you already love, but now at 50 calories. This high-fiber yogurt in 4 delicious flavors is packed with real fruit and taste, making your day a bit sweeter. Plus, adding more fiber to your diet helps you feel satisfied. So celebrate geting a lot for just a little and you'll get 20 percent of the Daily Value of fiber. Dig IN!!

I picked the Strawberry to try and was quite pleased with the texture. I had been worried it would be gritty or something, to contain the fiber, but it had a smooth consistency. And with the low calories and sugar, this is definitely a good health snack alternative. Plus I got a good part of my fiber quota in, just by eating that small container.
