J.Co Donuts - Hi Lychee!

On a Sunday morning, I was with my girlfriend spending time at J.Co Donuts. I love the variety in their doughnuts, and how they seem to capture the flavor accurately with their products.

So, today, there was this new flavor [or at least it seemed new to me], and I just had to give it a go. It was called "Hi Lychee" and as the name implies, is Lychee-flavored.

Nothing much to write here, except that if you like lychee, this doughnut captures that flavor quite well. Reminds me of those canned lychees with syrup that my dad buys from the grocery.

Ice Scramble: The Return of A Childhood Treat

One of my favorite childhood treats was ice scramble. I'd have it after school almost everyday while waiting for the school bus to arrive. It was nothing fancy, just like any other food you buy from the side streets. It was almost always the same, colored pink, made of crushed ice and probably sugar, has powdered milk and chocolate syrup on top. I couldn't, for the life of me figure out if there was a secret ingredient or two in this concoction, but it was a real treat, and a great way to cool down on a hot day.

For the past few months, I've seen one stall after another go up in malls hawking this classic treat, but now with each store's own arsenal of add-ons. Yesterday, after mass, one such stall was present outside Rosario Church. I didn't let it pass and I bought me a cup. It cost me 15Php [$0.33 USD] for the said cup. Of course, as I don't really bring around a camera, I just fished for my mobile phone and took a few snaps here and there.







I happened to take a picture of a stall I happened to pass by at Robinson's Galleria, Ortigas:



I spotted another one during my dad's visit to the dermatologist:

Mister Donuts' Chocolate Muffins

I dropped by a nearby Mister Donuts store a few days ago with my girlfriend to have a few doughnuts and coffee for breakfast before going home. Aside from the typical holed treats that we got, I chanced upon some awesome chocolate muffins.



They are soooooooooo good. I munched on a couple of 'em and they're filled with chocolate goodness from top to bottom. Definitely not for the calorie-counters out there. But definitely worth a try, for sure!
