The Jollibee Halo-Halo Sundae is part of the fastfood chain’s limited edition Filipino selections launched as part of the Philippine Independence Day celebration this June. (The other one is the Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger, which has lower reception compared to this dessert, I think.) It’s the usual Jollibee Sundae topped with Halo-Halo toppings. After eating one last Tuesday, I ate one more the following day, and one more last Thursday. ...
Wow, this post was waiting for so long to be posted. Anyway, here’s what I did (and took) during the recent AniZone activity at Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas Center. We stayed the whole time at Bo’s Coffee for the said activity, and I was able to try their hot Matcha Latte, which costs ₱150. Here’s my short impressions on it: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jay Agonoy (@jayagonoycom) ...
Hello, guys. I was supposed to pull this post up last week if not for me overworking myself, so before I go back to bed, here’s a quick recap of all the food and drinks that I’ve had from last week’s “Blogapalooza: Horizons” in Quezon City. Arla / Cocio Arla and Cocio are distributed by the same company in the country, Fly Ace Corporation, from Denmark. Prior to drinking Cocio, one of my friends recommended it, and his recommendation is not a joke at all. At a price range of Php60 to Php70, I guess this one’s worth its taste and price. ...
“For having loved and lost, you are a richer person.” Man, I love that message veiled in the curtains of this restaurant. We are treated to this good place at Pioneer St., Mandaluyong City called Lee Hak Korean Buffet, and I took this opportunity to add more photos for today. I heard that Lee Hak was not a buffet resto from the start, but when they converted to buffet, they are welcomed by a lot of people nearby. In addition, its proximity to Shaw Boulevard, Brgy. Kapitolyo and the Greenfield District (then called EDSA Central) makes it a good catch. ...
Taking a break from the recently-finished Tourism Lifestyle & Business Expo, here’s the photos that I took in the middle of the night. The one above is at Kapitolyo in Pasig at twilight, where there’s no one around. This one is at the Glorietta Mercato Centrale night market — a half-liempo meal worth Php50, just the right one I want to eat as a treat after being on the field for half a day or so. ...
The signs says it — I’ve been to the World Street Food Congress Jamboree at the Bonifacio Global City earlier. It was so hot — thankfully, I was able to get in without a hitch. The first stop — where you can read on what you need to know about the Jamboree This is Chey Sua Carrot Cake from Singapore, priced at Php200. It’s crunchy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. I felt the lack of taste, but the fluffiness of it made me forgive its flaw. ...
During FLOW’s concert at Ozine Fest 2016, I hanged out with my friends and then we went to Ramen Santouka at the Veranda of the nearby Mall of Asia. Santouka started with lack of satisfaction. Hitoshi Hatanaka and his family got a quick meal in a ramen shop, and he was not satisfied with the taste of the ramen — and considering that they watched a series called Tanpopo (which features a ramen resto), he got inspired to make his own ramen that he can proudly serve to his family and opened shop in Hokkaido in March 1988. ...
Before I get busy with work, I want to kick the week with some useful pieces of information: 90% of what you smell is what you taste, There’s this this called “coffee tasting,” where you smell, slurp, locate and describe the coffee, There’s a difference between the milk used in latte and the milk in frappe, The darker the coffee roast, the deeper the body it has (and the lesser the acidity it has), The Arabica breed of coffee is more susceptible to diseases than the Robusta breed that is used in instant coffee, and more. That’s what I’ve learned during the Starbucks Coffee Appreciation Festival at the Shangri-la Plaza Mall yesterday. I’ve tasted shots of different Starbucks blends, and I even got a caramel latte. ...
It’s been long since I posted here, so let me tell you my experience during the 20th of February, the day where I was supposed to go to UP Diliman for AME Fair X: In anticipation of the upcoming World Street Food Congress this April, Singapore-based food guide Makansutra, the Department of Tourism and Ayala Malls presented the 15-Hour Food Frenzy Safari, which took the local and international media present to a five-city trip throughout Pampanga and Metro Manila to taste the delicacies these cities can offer. Our Awesome Planet’s Anton Diaz also brief the participants what to expect on the tour. ...
The Tamagoya Noodle House in Antipolo City. [Photo by Juan Angelo Custodio] After participating in AniZone’s first series viewing in Marikina featuring Halo Halo House, I got the chance to visit a restaurant that is closer to what Japan offers — Tamagoya Noodle House. Before you get inside Tamagoya, you will be welcomed with their menu. [Photo by Juan Angelo Custodio] At around ₱180, you can enjoy a big bowl of ramen that should serve as your dinner for the night. The metro and nearby provinces felt a few light rain showers, so it was the perfect time to keep myself well. ...
