My family and I love snapping photos on Ontario road trips, and grabbing Ding Dong Snack Mix in Ottawa was a crunchy highlight of our adventure. We picked up this Pinoy treat while stopping at Parliament Hill to shoot blog photos, its savory mix perfect for a quick break by the greenery. We paused to munch, taking photos and savoring the sarap. Here’s why Ding Dong is a must for Filipino-Canadian travelers.
We found the Ding Dong package in Ottawa, a sari-sari store treasure.
The Ding Dong package sits on our table, ready for our Parliament Hill snack.
The mix looked so tempting in a bowl beside the pack.

We spread some out, a tidy but messy pile to enjoy.

Made by Monde Nissin in the Philippines, Ding Dong mixes peanuts, corn bits, green peas, cracker nuts, and fava beans for a light, crunchy snack. It’s a Filipino favorite, budget-friendly at Ottawa’s Asian markets, but has peanuts, soy, and wheat, so I gave my kids a small handful. This meryenda added fun to our photo stop at Parliament Hill.
Ding Dong’s a tasty snack for Pinoy families exploring Ontario. Want more outdoor moments? Check out my YouTube playlist, “Ontario Bird Feeder Vlogs,” for 5-minute clips of backyard birds and feeder fun.
