McDonald's Cookie Butter McFlurry and Salted Caramel Sundae

I may not be one of those who went crazy over cookie butter since it hit Manila shore but I have to admit that I do enjoy the treat once in a while. So when McDonald's Philippines released Cookie Butter McFlurry as part of their Holiday Sweet Pleasures Desserts line up, I thought that I should try it one of these days, and I did.

I am currently residing at the mountain where it is perpetually cold most of the time, but we do have some hot days in here too. Today is one of those days so, to the nearest McDonald's I dragged my siblings. I deemed that it was the perfect time to try Cookie Butter McFlurry and the Salted Caramel Sundae.

Desserts options at McDonald's may not be extensive just like most fast food chains, but I must say that although limited, their line up I always find pleasurable. Their apple pie for instance, remained to be one of my favorites. Their creativity in terms of coming up with variety of flavors for their sundae and McFlurry, on the other hand remained pretty impressive. So it was half expected that they'll jump into the bandwagon that is cookie butter.

Mochiko: Speculoos Cookie Butter Mochi with Biscoff Cookie Inside!

If you have been reading YedyLicious Manila Food Blog, you would know by now how I love Mochiko. They are by far one of the best food finds in Manila I was introduced to during my visits at Mercato Centrale. Recent visit to Mochiko Shangri-La branch to have a taste of their new flavor Mochiko Speculoos Cookie Butter Mochi reminded me of my deep affinity for this creative Japanese dessert.

The craze that was Speculoos Cookie Butter may have taken a back seat for months now, but it is still there nonetheless.  Hence, the ride that Mochiko took by introducing this relatively new flavor is noteworthy. Keeping up with the times and executing it really well is one great feat that Mochiko is known for.

The fact that Mochiko has expanded to several branches from the time of its inception, and still loved by many, is a proof that they are still on top of its game. All through the years, creative minds behind Mochiko managed to create interesting flavors to make Mochiko all the more close to foodies’ hearts. Their spin on what’s popular and in-demand to the food landscape in Manila is noteworthy and well-worth the try, always.
