Jollibee Floats: A Great Summer Treat
Jollibee Float is now available at P45 pesos each with their new flavors Chocolate and Coffee. Personally, I like the coffee-flavored float. It tastes almost like the Starbucks variety. The ice cream on top is smooth, soft-serve ice cream drizzled with chocolate syrup swimming in strong-flavored iced coffee. It’s a nice and comforting tall, icy glass of refreshing cold coffee goodness. I work nights and it’s one of the main reasons why I love the Coffee Float. My resistance to caffeine is quite low thus a tall glass of Jollibee Coffee Float will keep me awake for hours.
Compared to the old varieties of the Jollibee Float, the Chocolate and Coffee flavors have more substance, nutrients and health benefits other than raising your blood sugar levels. Coffee contains anti-oxidants that have been proven to be beneficial to health. Chocolate, on the other hand, has equally good effects on your well-being. Dark chocolate has even been proven to help prevent cancer.
I think the Coffee float is a fantastic dessert and summer refreshment. The mixture of flavors, i.e. the bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, go very well together. I don’t think there is a store out there that sells a similar product. Â So for those seeking a break from all the sweet-tooth sweetness of fruity, sugar-water floats, Jollibee Floats are your best bet.

The Marketplace at Eastwood Citywalk 2: Update
Update: The Marketplace has resumed operations and will be available until the end of the month. They are open from 11.30 pm to 8:30 am Mondays to Fridays.
Recently I’ve been spending a lot of time in Eastwood City. The reason? I’ve been stalking and gawking at the goodies sold at the Marketplace in Eastwood Citywalk 2. I personally dubbed it as Midnight Bancetto because they are only available from 10 pm to 12 pm the following day. They are open the whole night and close an hour or so before lunch time the next day. So why don’t they stay open the whole day? Because the organizers are not allowed to compete with the bazillion restaurants that cater to all kinds of employees the whole day. This holds true for people going to the malls. Contrary to popular belief, there aren’t that many 24-hour restaurants open in the Eastwood area, despite to supposed high number of call center employees. According to an Eastwood mall employee I asked, she said (brace yourself for the answer) that the call center crowd were not as many as we thought and that they are not that big a spender on food as they are on beer, cigarettes, load and other consumer items. Enter the marketplace. Read the rest of this post »

Sofitel Manila is now online!
Please forgive the unflattering pictures. I just used my phone’s camera to take pictures around the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila. Only goes to show that despite using a low end camera, the images are still breath-taking, just as they were back in the 1970s when it was pretty much still named Philippine Plaza Hotel.

Shakey’s Pizza Castellana: Iberico flavors at its best
Seek and you shall find. True enough, my cravings found its match when I received their invitation for the launch of the new Pizza Castellana. It is a pizza that features authentic Spanish Chorizo, a special pork sausage with a distinctly dried smoky flavor. When used in pizza, the Spanish Chorizo produces a reddish oil that is the source of that wafting smoky smell when you open a box of Pizza Castellana. Read the rest of this post »
