Tweet New Sebastian’s Ice Cream flavors! Yum yum! I went ga-ga over this new flavor of theirs: Pearl Milk Tea! It’s creamy and delicious with mini sago pearls. It really is milk tea in ice cream form. Refreshing! Now if you’re a lover of Red Velvet cakes or cupcakes, you NEED to try this Red [...]

Tweet When my cousin Josh was little, I remember him putting wasabi paste on everything he ate. Sometimes he’d eat it straight from the tube. Yep, he was a little Wasabi Warrior. I wonder what he’ll make of this Wasabi Cupcake my sister got from Eastwood Mall. Josh is in the States now. How I [...]

Tweet Are you a pesto lover? You might want to try this new Artichoke Pesto from Stonewall Kitchen. I didn’t think pesto came in an artichoke variant, but hey, anything is possible! I liked the consistency of this artichoke pesto — thick enough to be a dip but not too thick to be a sauce [...]

Tweet Have you tried red beans in your milk tea yet? I haven’t till we had a snack at New Sunbeam Restaurant. There were a lot of tent cards on the restaurant tables and posters around the place promoting the drink that I just HAD to try it. That advertising worked, dear New Sunbeam owners. [...]

Tweet When I think Pinipig Crunch, I think vanilla ice cream on a stick with crunchy and chewy pinipig dotting the hard chocolate exterior. It brings back so many memories of childhood.

The flavors of langka, red beans, kaong, ube and all the other halo-halo mix-ins blended together in that leftover liquid. It’s delicious and you still can’t have enough of it. [...]

Tweet Thick coconut ice cream with chewy coconut flakes. Milk chocolate with almond slivers. Gah. This is definitely a really good summer snack. Presenting: the Almond Coco Joy Dive Bar from Sebastian’s Ice Cream. A bite of summer. This dive bar was inspired by the American candy bar Almond Joy, a product of Hershey’s. Almond [...]

Tweet Strawberry taho? It’s more fun in Baguio! Well, I’m guessing it’s only fun in Baguio too as you can only get strawberry taho from that region. It has the same soy base as regular taho, and the expected sago (pearls). What makes it different is the strawberry syrup and some strawberry chunks. A small [...]

Tweet What do you do when waiting for friends at a restaurant sitting on top of a gourmet shop? Why go shopping of course, then go snacking on your shopping finds. I was waiting for two friends at Terry’s, ready for our lunch date (Read “Holiday lunch at Terry’s”). Since I was half an hour [...]
