mbsbmendoza
Been craving for Jeprox so decided to give this a try. It’s crunchy and convenient but not really satisfying for me. It lacks the ‘umami’ taste of Jeprox that I am craving for. I am thinking maybe I could splash a bit of oil and sprinkle some salt and put in air fryer for about a minute. But, that will be a lot of work. So I guess I wont buy this again.

If one is craving for a taste of home, jeprox does the trick! Love that it’s not too salty!

San Sebastian Tuyo with Garlic in Olive Oil

This quality product makes a great addition for customers keen on authentic Filipino cuisine. Known as Tuyo, this dried fish is a staple in native dishes, and the added garlic enhances its distinct, briny flavor. Olive oil preserves its richness while adding a Mediterranean touch. It can be used in a 'Kare-Kare' stew or served with a 'Sinangag' breakfast plate. It's healthy due to its high protein content and the olive oil's heart-healthy fats. Frozen, it provides prolonged freshness and convenience for busy households. Happy savory cooking!

Not impressed. Connie’s gourmet tuyo is my favorite. It has no bones but they don’t sell that anywhere here. Tolerable that it’s in olive oil. Again, Connie’s brand from Quezon City is the best. I’ve tried this one. It’s okay.
