As I checked my daily e-mails (primarily because I receive it on my phone) I came upon an e-mail by one Katherine Cheng. Cheng, as we called her back in college, sent a long email very formal, very business-like, and was asking if I could feature this product on my blog. Cheng and I met in college at the Faura building early 3rd year. She was tall and daunting but looked friendly and cool. I think I ended up sitting beside her. We got to know each other better through the course of the semester primarily because of our funny (not in a good funny haha, but weird funny) Political Science teacher. That’s Cheng.

Her e-mail was asking me if I could do a feature for her product on my blog. I reluctantly agreed. You see, I don’t usually agree to featuring things on my blog without actually trying them and liking it. I was a bit nervous and seeing that Cheng was a friend back in college, I trust that what she was going to send me was not some icky thing.

Justin, Cheng’s business partner, arrived at our office with a bag of chips and 2 small bottles of dip. I thanked him for the trouble and quickly brought it to my desk. I made a cup of coffee (it was a rainy rainy day, and a cup of coffee is just what the doctor ordered!) and slowly opened the bottles. I opened the one labeled Taco Dip.

Chuckle Taco Dip

Dipped the first cracker in.

And it was awesome! I was so relieved that it was something I really liked. I asked the Team to try it as well, and they couldn’t stop getting. Before you knew it, the dip was gone and so were the chips! We even had yet to try the italian kind!

Chuckle Italian Dip

We quickly got Fita (unintentional endorsement!) and opened the italian dip. It reminded me of olive oil and soy sauce Balsamic Vinegar they prepare at Italianis right before your main course starts. I loved both dips. I liked both so much, that I quickly texted Cheng and ordered 4 more bottles to give to The Club to try out. (*ahem* club, movie night when I get back?)

If you guys are looking for an alternative for dips, do email me at foodiemanila@gmail.com for orders. One bottle is at Php 90 only! WAY CHEAPER than the commercial generic ones out there.

You definitely have to try these dips out.
