Jollibee Choco Mallow Pie

Jollibee Choco Mallow Pie is back and internet is going crazy about it. But while it's announcement has been shared on Facebook numerous times, people are skeptic about it thinking that it might be one of those false news circulating. Some friends and readers of this blog even sent me emails just to confirm if the news is indeed true when it started popping on their news feed since last May 8. 

So I went to the nearest Jollibee branch last Monday to check if the buzz was true. Upon confirming, I sent a group reply to those who have asked and now I am writing about it because quite honestly, it was the first time that I have tried this Choco Mallow Pie by Jollibee.

 

I might be living under the rock in the past because I cannot, for the love of all things yummy, remember that there ever was a Choco Mallow Pie at Jollibee. Perhaps because I am and still a loyalist of their Peach Mango Pie? I am not sure. I did an online research about the Choco Mallow Pie in the past and even that yields no result save for some forum that says it was no good.

KFC Sisig Rice Bowl and KFC Sisig Burrito

KFC Sisig Rice Bowl and KFC Sisig Burrito - these two new delicious offerings from KFC Philippines could be your reason why you should go and visit KFC branch near you, pronto. Especially if you are a fan of what I believe as one of the best Filipino dishes ever known to mankind, Sisig. And especially if you are one KFC fan who is mad crazy about the awesomeness of their rice bowls and sandwich wraps.

I am a fan of both - KFC and Sisig. Safe to say that I am digging these new KFC grubs.

As I was informed when I was first introduced to KFC Sisig, it is really hard to resist so just give in. And gave in, I did. I am happy happy to report and I personally like it.  The distinct sisig flavor was spot-on while the crisp chicken bites were delight to the bite.

Figures of Beans Coffee: Welcome to the Coffee Revolution

With the proliferation of coffee shops everywhere, there are plethora of coffee options that we, coffee lovers have seem endless. But I'll let you in on a little secret. While I have my favorite coffee shops that I frequent to whenever I go out, at the end of the day, I am still all crazy bout brewing my own coffee at home.

For some of us coffee enthusiasts, brewing your own perfect cup of coffee is the dream.  So when I was introduced to Figures of Beans coffee recently, I was elated. I have my favorite brands, but it is always a pleasure to meet new ones.

Figures of Beans is an online shop that sells whole beans and ground coffee of different kinds. So if you are also into brewing your own coffee or interested in starting this kind of caffeinated love affair, then this might be for you. 

Salted Egg Chips of Yummies by M

I have my own salted egg potato chips recipe so I have not really jumped into the quest for finding the best salted egg chips in Manila. Yet, I could say that I have tried quite a handful of salted egg chips brands available in the Philippine market since the trend started. Some were good, while others sadly fell short.

The recent one I have tried was the Salted Egg Chips of Yummies by M. And no beating around the bush here - it's amazing. Hands down, it was the best store-bought salted egg chips I have tasted to date.

So what makes this salted egg chips special? Glad you asked.

Suy Foods Halal Certified Longganisa, Tocino, and Chicken Food Products

I was recently introduced to Suy Foods products and I got a bit excited because one of readers' requests that I have been getting these days is review and features about Halal certified food products in Manila. Yes, Suy Foods longganisa, tocino, and chicken products you will be seeing in this post fit the bill, I am happy to report. 

Not only Suy Foods products are Halal certified, I deem they are also a tad healthier option for those who craves for the usual longganisa and tocino but are trying to dodge pork on their diet. As Suy Foods tag line goes, "It's all about Chicken!"

Halal food, I believe is no longer a foreign concept these days. For those who do not share the same beliefs though, it is guaranteed that you can still enjoy products of Suy Foods especially if you favor chicken over any other meat. 

Holiday Ham by CDO Premium

Christmas is upon us and just like the previous year, I am once again writing about Holiday Ham by CDO Premium, one of my favorite Christmas hams available in the market. Having all the legit reasons to indulge on all those glorious good food, isn't it only proper to choose what is the best for our family?

In terms of reasonable price and good quality, I must say that Holiday Ham by CDO Premium fits the bill. A perfect match for CDO Premium Holiday Ham you asked? Danes Cheese Ball of course.

As mentioned, I have already written about these two delicious tandem - CDO Premium Holiday Ham and Danes Cheese Ball. And I am happy to report that to this day, this combination is still a holiday staple in our household. A brand which I still believe in. 

Kumori Matcha Signature Cheese Tart

I sort of knew it was bound to happen, the creation of Kumori Matcha Cheese Tart. It is fortunate that whatever creation that Kumori Philippines put their hands on, it always ends up crawling its way to our hearts and tummy. And whether we admit it or not, we are destined to love it. 

The combination of universally appreciated cheese and  matcha, which popularity is very apparent these days more than ever, is not very unlikely. As a matter of fact, it can be one of the best combination there is if the one to judge is a matcha believer such as myself. 

I may have mentioned this here on the blog that I have deep affinity for matcha. This appreciation started years back when I was forced to ditch coffee for a while to avoid reflux which to this day I still believe was brought by the stress disguised as college thesis defense. While I refused to believe that coffee was the culprit, my love affair with matcha blossomed from then on.

Boy Bawang New Products

Of the many popular local snacks in the Philippines, I am guilty of really liking Boy Bawang Cornick to the core. Truth be told, I haven’t met anyone yet who does not like Boy Bawang – everyone seems to love it! Aside from the fact that munching on it is very addictive, another thing that probably endears Boy Bawang to a lot of people is its very affordable price.

Kindly friends from KSK Food Products, makers of the famous and well-loved Boy Bawang recently shared to us the good news about newly launched products by Boy Bawang.

As a fan, it made me really excited that Boy Bawang has expanded its line of product. So, aside from the  Boy Bawang Cornick we have grown to love, there are several other Boy Bawang snacks we can enjoy these days.

The Party Kitchen PH: The Best Party Food Delivery Service in Manila

Yes, The Party Kitchen is the best food delivery service in Manila for me and I am saying that with such a casual aplomb. That is because of the many food delivery services I have tried, The Party Kitchen by The Romulo Food Group impressed me the most. 

I have tried quite a handful food delivery services. Some have made it to the pages of this blog while the others have not. Recent need to prepare delicious dishes for last-minute party led me to discovering The Party Kitchen and boy was I thankful.

When it comes to food delivery services, the things that I am looking for are good quality food, fast delivery time, reasonable price, and impeccable service. I am very particular with these things because and The Party Kitchen passed all that criteria I must say.

Kangaroo Nuts Philippines: Your Healthy Snack

There are a lot of healthy snack options available here in Manila but my current favorite is Kangaroo Nuts - a well loved brand in abroad and now here in the Philippines, that specializes in premium snacks such as almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts, and mixed nuts among many others.

Kangaroo Nuts takes pride in the fact that their products are made from freshly-harvested top quality nuts and seasoned using only the finest ingredients. They are also known for having delicious and innovative flavors.

A lot has been said about the health benefits of nuts when taken in moderation making it the best alternative to the usual junk food most of us are used to consuming.
