the past months have been quite busy, and there was not much new things that i got to try out so i am combining my food test for july and august.
starbucks: banana chocolate puff, bacon parmesan stromboli, banana raspberry frappuccino, tiramisu frappuccino
banana chocolate puff – php 75.00
i do not know if because i bought this in the morning, then ate it when i got home, that it was just ok for me. this is a flaky and buttery pastry with chocolate and bananas inside. the pastry is actually good. i just feel that there wasn’t enough chocolate and that the taste of the bananas were a little overwhelming.
bacon parmesan stromboli – php 120
my new favorite at starbucks. i love anything with bacon! this is a flaky, buttery, crunchy crust filled with bacon, tomato, parmesan and mozzarella. i could easily finish one of this in a sitting. you could taste all of the flavors in each bite. the perfect savory pair to your coffee. 🙂 i hope this stays in the menu.
banana raspberry frappuccino – (grande) php 170 (venti) php 180
The Banana Raspberry Frappuccino® blended beverage combines the berry goodness of our Raspberry Blackcurrant juice with milk and a peeled banana
this is my favorite among the “banana” line of frappuccino that was launched. it has the right amount of sweetness and tart. one good option if you are looking for a non-coffee based drink.
tiramisu frappuccino – (tall) php180 (grande) php190 (venti) php200
Tiramisu Frappuccino® blended beverage features our delicious blended coffee flavored with Tiramisu sauce then topped with bits of biscuits, cheesecake- inspired whipped cream, Tiramisu sauce drizzle and a dusting of cocoa powder.
the flavors of this drink is really nice. i like the combination of the tiramisu sauce and the cheesecake whipped cream. the sweetness was also just right. although this could mean a lot of calories with all that sauce, whipped cream and cocoa powder. 😉
seattle’s best coffee: strawberry fields
strawberry fields
again, i availed of this drink using my sbc planner coupon. this is an ice-blended drink made of strawberry puree and crushed chocolate cookies, topped with whipped cream and that cute strawberry candy. this is like the strawberry oreo ice cream that is available locally. a little sweet for me, but if you are a fan of strawberry or cookies or both, then this is for you.
chowking: happy pao
happy pao (panda and piggy) – php 109
these paos are just too darn cute that i bought a box of three while buying food from chowking. the panda has chocolate inside, while the piggy is your asado siopao in a cuter form. 🙂 the chocolate pao was actually good. the filling was not to sweet, and they did not scrimp on the amount so that you get chocolate from every bite.
happy eating! 🙂
