ABC Wednesday | U and V

I lost track of time, so another catch up post for me.


U is for Ube Ice Cream.

Known as purple yam, ube is considered to be one of the most unique ice cream flavor, maybe because it's a root crop (tuber). I admit this isn't my favorite flavor (strawberry is), but two weeks ago, my sister and I were craving so much for Ube Ice Cream, but that specific day, there was no available Ube flavor in the nearby supermarket! Well, I went back to the supermarket last Saturday, I was able to see the freezers (each brand has its own freezer) filled with new stocks! Well, I still want to taste that "Best of the Philippines" Ube Keso (Ube - Cheese) ice cream because it used the purple yam jam from Baguio City, but it was quite expensive, so I will just have to get back next time.


That day, I just bought myself a small container (possibly half a cup) of Ube Ice Cream, just to satisfy my cravings. Honestly, I still love Magnolia (the brand), but this one - Nestle, would do for now.


V is for Vietnamese Spring Rolls.

I am not much familiar with Vietnamese food, but this platter of Vietnamese Spring Rolls was served by Pho Hoa during the Appetite Magazine "Taste the World" event. Well, I could say I am not totally raving about it the first time I tasted it, but as I eat my second bite-size cut, I got to appreciate its taste. Since it's fresh (the meat inside is cooked, of course), it has a refreshing feeling to the mouth, and the sauce was something that binds all the flavors together.


 

Manang's Chicken Coupons

Just a few days ago, I shared to you about the newest Manang's Chicken branch... now, with 9 branches to satisfy the hungry tummies, Manang's Chicken are sharing these:

Happy eating!

Burger King Whopper Jr. Meal

Yesterday, my sister and I went to the mall just to roam around. I see it as a way to walk around, but yes, it was a great time to be with my sister. We went to eat late breakfast so we would still be full when we go to the mall, making us save money from eating lunch and snacks. We were quite firm that we will just eat snacks. Watching the first part of the Pacquiao-Bradley made us see the new McDonald's TVC for "Big n' Tasty burger," which was something we hoped to eat today, but the crew at McDo told us the burger's sold out already, so we went to think where to eat. Sister said she was already craving for fries, so seeing Burger King is now open again (they closed for a while for renovation), I told sister it might be a great time to eat BK again.





Seeing the menu board, I was pleased to see they have the Whopper Jr. Meal at only p135. A complete meal with a small cup of sundae... it was indeed a good choice.

I love Burger King Whopper. I love the slightly under-seasoned burger patty because then I get to taste the goodness of the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions and dressing when I chew my food. The sundae was good, too! The caramel sauce wasn't so sweet, making it a great dessert to cap off the meal.
