Yet again in my quest for healthy snacks and foodstuff, I came across Cheese! Yes, everyone knows that cheese is a very healthy snack. It is especially good for your bones due to the high level of calcium found in cheese (just like milk). As I am getting older, I guess I really need a lot of calcium. You know, old people and their brittle bones and what-not. Just think of cheese as milk but are in a form which is more digestible than milk. So if you eat cheese, it is like you are drinking milk just better!

So I went to Shop N Save yesterday and bought myself a cheese snack. This is the Bel’s Party Cubes which are actually little savoury cheese bites and I am betting they are meant for kids. Kids don’t like plain cheese and boring wrappers, so instead you name them party cubes, add a little flavour to it and wrap it in very attractive aluminum foil and the kids will love it. This set comes with Ham flavour, Tomato flavour and Green Peppercorn flavour.  Hmmm….I wonder whether little kids will love those or not? But anyway, I am a cheese lover and I love the flavours, especially the Green Peppercorn.

Wow, 50% fat in dry matter! Cheese spread! 24 cubes! Savoury cheese bites! French words too!  And look at that red cow! Hey, cheese in Singapore is very expensive. This small amount of cheese (125g) costs about $6.50. In Singapore, everything is getting more and more expensive. Even rice which is supposed to be cheap in Asia is getting ridiculously expensive. I often wonder what the government is doing everyday.

Maybe next time I will try the Mushroom - Blue Cheese - French Onion flavour pack.

Well, these are the photos of the 3 flavours. They are Green Peppercorn, Ham and Tomato. I really like the Green Peppercorn flavour. It feels a little minty and goes very well with the cheese. Oh, if I am not wrong, this is soft cheese. Not the hard cheese we usually find in the stores.  I am not a cheese expert but I think that means that the cheese has not been aged for long. So, the cheese flavour is not strong. In fact, I would say that there is hardly any cheese taste in these cubes. I also enjoyed the tomato cheese cube. Nothing much to it, just a little tomato flavouring to plain tastless cheese.

You can easily swallow the entire cube whole. Just peel off the foil and in it goes down your mouth and into your throat. Easy Peasy. You don’t have to waste time cutting cheese off big blocks with a knife anymore and then biting the hard cheese. It is so soft, you can hardly feel it when it goes down your throat.You can even place the cube on a piece of bread and then use a knife and make a spread.

Anyway if you are looking for a healthy snack for your kids or for your grandmother with no teeth, this is a good one. It taste wonderful too. Of course, it does cost quite a bit but then what doesnt in Singapore? Oh by the way, I am a cheese fan myself!
