BGC Food crawl stop 3: Brown Café

“What are the most picture pretty variants?” – me to the clerk Anchan Strawberry Latte with Rainbow bubble Photogenic indeed! A pink base from the strawberry milk and jam, blending to a blue hue from the butterfly pea tea = picture perfect drink. I liked that the strawberry flavor wasn’t that sweet compared to strawberry milk sold in tetra packs in the grocery. I’m not … Continue reading BGC Food crawl stop 3: Brown Café

BGC Food crawl stop 2: Shari Shari

Mango Lassi – mango syrup, fresh yogurt, mango topping What I thought would taste like artificial flavorings and candy-like mangoes turned out as a favorite! The mango toppings tasted, uhm, natural(?) and not like the ones preserved in syrup. I didn’t choose a fruit flavored ice since I thought it would taste like candy, but this didn’t. This one was sweet and sour and tangy, … Continue reading BGC Food crawl stop 2: Shari Shari

Food: Hui Lau Shan – Mangoes and More

The Food: The drink, rather. Mango and Coconut juice with Aloe Jelly You could taste a hint of creaminess from the coconut and the aloe flavor form the green jelly slush at the bottom of the cup. Previously tried the one with crystal jelly. It was a less sweet option and the jelly was more firm. Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Mini Chewy balls and … Continue reading Food: Hui Lau Shan – Mangoes and More

Food: Illy Caffe – birthday on a discount coffee break

Coffee break on promo at Illy Cafe after the Italian lunch at La Piazza thanks to Zomato Gold. For drinks, you have the option to get 1+1 or 2+2, but the +1 should always be the same drink as the one you are paying. Unlike in food, you could order different items and just pay the one with higher price. Cappuccino Served hot on interestingly … Continue reading Food: Illy Caffe – birthday on a discount coffee break

Food: Ambassador’s Ice Cream – Vegan Ice Cream

Ice cream stop before commuting on a weekday night on my way home. First heard about this shop online and what got me curious was the vegan ice cream label. They had a discount for some of their flavors that day so I took this chance to try a scoop. Deciding between two fruit dessert flavors – the Mango Biscoff and Apple Pie…via free taste! … Continue reading Food: Ambassador’s Ice Cream – Vegan Ice Cream

Food: Epilogue – Dessert and Coffee

Just like an epilogue at the end of a book, we had a coffee break at Epilogue after the discounted meal at Red Lobster. This time, with Zomato gold 1+1 on drinks. Promo after promo, huh? An interesting piece in the décor was the ceiling, looking like stained glass in an oval pattern. Even the tables were designed with a mosaic pattern of small tiles. … Continue reading Food: Epilogue – Dessert and Coffee

Leyte 2019: [05] Jose Karlo’s Cafe

One of the coffee shops with the best ambiance I’ve seen so far. Enjoy the homey and relaxed neighborhood vibe instead of the busy commercial energy from other more well known shops. I could imagine myself spending an afternoon here, finally making that novel or the script / show bible I’ve always intended to write. It’s filled with trinkets for display. You’ll find something interesting … Continue reading Leyte 2019: [05] Jose Karlo’s Cafe

Singapore 2019: Valrhona and Neuhaus Chocolates

What’s a trip without buying some chocolates from the airport? Here’s what I got from the Cocoa Trees store in Changi Terminal 1. Valrhona 70% Dark Chocolate Guanaja Starts with a stone fruit flavor – I quote from a the website – as I could not pinpoint that flavor that flavor when you take the first bite. Not really sure what it meant since I’m … Continue reading Singapore 2019: Valrhona and Neuhaus Chocolates
