⁣ Delighted to try @streetbitesph homemade mango ⁣ Delighted to try @streetbitesph homemade mango sticky rice. Their version of the Thai-inspired dessert comes in an ample serving of local and pure sticky rice, topped with Cebu mangoes. It also comes with a sauce cup of coconut cream so we could pair it to our liking. I like that the rice itself is mildly sweet to serve as a base for the toppings. ⁣ ⁣ On the other hand, Oping’s special pollo empanada is truly glorious!!! You could see and feel that there was much attention on the delicate handmade dough. Inside are generous fillings of lean chicken meat, ham, cheese and raisins. Everything’s fresh and no extenders were used. It’s so good that I still enjoyed one even when I just brought it out from the fridge. ⁣ ⁣ #StreetBitesCebu⁣

Was so thrilled to be part of a RAPID TASTING of a Was so thrilled to be part of a RAPID TASTING of a product that is on its final stages of development and I’m quite sure this will be a hit when it is made widely available! ⁣ ⁣ Presenting The Federal Gourmet’s Black Truffle Potato Chips. We’ve heard of truffle chips or fries but they’re only available in a few mid to upscale dining establishments. This one, you’ll be able to order as you please soon. ⁣ ⁣ The chips? Definitely not your ordinary chips! Loved ‘em upon first bite! It’s not greasy, has the right saltiness, it’s very crispy and of course the distinct taste of truffle is just enough that you can still recognize the potato. ⁣ ⁣ Interesting bucket packaging too. It looks like something I can easily buy for a movie when cinemas reopen, for Netflix and chill at home, or something I can pop to my mouth while intensely playing ML. CALOCA.⁣ ⁣ For orders and inquiries, you may check out @thefederalgourmet.

It’s the first day of October and it’s the wee It’s the first day of October and it’s the weekend tomorrow, so it’s time to unwind with these fun cocktail mixes by Shot na Nemo!⁣ ⁣ I tried their “Poison” series.

I first encountered Hebrews Shebrews @hebrews_sheb I first encountered Hebrews Shebrews @hebrews_shebrews at Sugbo Mercado and The Market years ago, not knowing those were their first two branches. ⁣ ⁣ I remember enjoying their Okinawa milk tea, but no matter how I loved the drink, it is natural for us consumers to go back to brands we are familiar with. ⁣ ⁣ Fast forward to today, I’m so glad to be reacquainted with this proudly local brand. Hebrews Shebrews now has 11 branches, the closest to me being 10 minutes away from home. ⁣ ⁣ They sent me four of their recommended drinks. As a hardcore milk tea drinker, I started with the basic. Hebrews Shebrews Specialtea was velvety smooth to drink and has a delicate balance of flavors. I really felt the freshness of the tea. The Oreo cream cheese milk tea was creamy and sweet to my liking. I also understood why Dark chocolate milk tea with egg pudding is one of their bestsellers, it’s like a kiddie drink. And I’m pleasantly surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed the Green apple fruity Yakult with nata. It is so refreshing, I’ll crave for it on a hot day.⁣ ⁣ Overall, I’d say that Hebrews Shebrews is a good place to satisfy your milk tea cravings and friendly enough to offer other drinks for those who aren’t really into milk tea.⁣ ⁣ If you’re wondering why Hebrews Shebrews, the owner who is a milktea lover herself sought help from the Lord in putting up a business with something she was passionate about. Thus, “He”, the Lord brews the tea together with her, “She” = Hebrews Shebrews
