KFC Cheesy BBQ Melt: Another Fail Product

Kudos to the Marketing of KFC newest product “The Cheesy BBQ Melt”. Being a burger addict and entrepreneur, you actually made a fool out of me claiming in your commercial that you would rather eat this bunch of trash to a delectable burger. 

By using the power of media and marketing skills of course, you actually try to convince people to try your latest products. And yes you are good at it. But, I think you must make sure that what you offer is complementary to your other specialties.  No offense, but this product of yours is a sure FAIL.  

 Else, I suggest stop product expansion. You are just ruining your brand.  

Best Cheesecakes Philippines

I am a cheesecake lover. Actually, I am willing to die for a cheesecake. Just joking. But really, it is just simply delicious and tempting to try different kinds of cheesecake. Consider this list of cheesecakes I tried as my Christmas wish list. 

MY LIST OF BEST CHEESECAKES

1. Evert’s Desserts

Just browse through her multiply site www.evertsdesserts.multiply.com and you will see assorted desserts.But, what really stands out among them is her Strawberry Cheesecake. This is a no bake cheesecake so you are assured that you will taste cheese at its finest and its really cheese-rich. Moreover, one slice this scrumptious dessert already makes you full. Believe me, I am a heavy eater. I already participated in different eating contests.

One whole cheesecake cost around 600 pesos. For its price, taste, and appearance, it is number one in my cheesecake or should my christmas wish list.  

2. Burgoo Raspberry Cheesecake

When my family was still here in the Philippines, every weekend we usually go out food tripping. You see, food tripping is our way of bonding. And the first restaurant that pops up to my mind is Burgoo. Not only because my mom and the owner are really good friends, but because their food really taste good.  

And I highly recommend their Raspberry Cheesecake. Just look at how it’s presented and the thickness of this beauty. Yummy. Once tasted, your craving for other cheesecakes will boost. Definitely, you’ll search for more. Actually, this is the first cheesecake I ever tasted and after that experience, I became an avid fan of cheesecake.  

3. Chocolate Kiss Blueberry Cheesecake at Bahay Alumni UP

During my food business ventures, when we were looking for a good spot to establish our Picky Eaters Burger business, my friend and I went to UP. Then, we came across Bahay Alumni and we heard that the food they offer are great. Of course, we want to try out what they offer and I found out that they have cheesecakes such as Blueberry Cheesecake. 

I ordered this heavenly stuff and tried it for the love of cheesecake. And boy, I was sure thankful that I learned that place. The texture, the sweetness, the cheesy feeling, they just complement well with each other. If you really like quality for a low price, this is the place to go. 

4. Banapple Two-Nut Cheesecake

Since I studied my whole life in Ateneo, I should be familiar with great places that offer good food. Along C-5, you can find Banapple Restaurant famous for their Cheesecake filled with bananas. However, what I really like is their Banapple Two-Nut Cheesecake. For nut lovers, this is a sinful dessert. You’ll just tend to forget how much your calorie intake is when you’re eating this cheesecake. Forget about calories, celebrate and rejoice. This is one of a kind. 

5. Sugar House Blueberry Cheesecake 

Okay, to tell you the truth this is one of my date places in Makati. Sugar House. From the name itself, they basically not only offer sweet desserts, but the atmosphere and the ambience of that place is really SWEET. Anyway, I always order their Blueberry Cheesecake. 

The sweetness of the cream cheese is just right. More than that, what I really adore is their delicious crust.

These are my favorite Cheesecakes FOR NOW. 

Siomai House Philippines: Best Local Siomai Stall

It was not a bad idea after all resigning from my work at Makati, going to Singapore, and currently working at Ortigas. Not just because of salary and convenience since Ortigas is more accessible to me since I was able to escape the ever-making-me-hot-headed heavy traffic going to Makati in the early mornings, but because I was exposed to the industry of food business as well.

Being a food fanatic, it is a need for me to try different foods and critic based on taste and the value for money. I just heard SIomai House in Ortigas in Strata 2000 Building and boy it was really delicious. For just 25 pesos, I can get 4 pieces of siomai with chili on it.

Well, besides from its really low price, they offer QUALITY LARGE pieced of Siomai that can make you full once you added a cup of rice in it. Steamed to perfection, once you tried it, you’ll come back for more. I did. I was eating this meal 2 weeks straight before I ventured other food stalls. 

Compared to other siomai in the market, its texture which is very important for siomai, is really high class even though their target market is for C+ to B class level. I really recommend this one especially for barkada food trips or barkada inuman for pulutan. 

Today, I am still thinking about going to buy some SIOMAI to make my day complete. 

Tiendesitas Event: Cris Evert and her business Evert’s Desserts

My friend, Cris Evert, is going to sell her homemade delicacies at Tiendesitas on December 6, Saturday. Her products are mouth-watering strawberry and blueberry cheesecake, carrot cake with and without creamy frosting, yummy revel bars, fudgy bon bons, chewy oatmeal cookies, and satisfying polvorons. 

And since she just started her business, she needs people to man her booth in exchange for free desserts lunch and dinner. Well, she asked her circle of friends, Chinese and non-Chinese, composed of cute guys and hot girls to man her booth. And I am really FLATTERED that I am included in that list.

Well, it’s been quite a while since I have social life since I am so busy creating business plans, marketing plans, developing website contents and other stuffs. Now is the right time for me to mingle with her circle of friends and hope that I get to know some cuties.

Come mingle with us. Enjoy the ambience of the well-known social haven Tiendesitas and enjoy more with her desserts. Who knows? Probably, you will find your dream partner there and your Christmas will not be shaded with the color of BLUE. 

Craving for something Big - Pizza Niro and Burger Avenue

I’ve been on a diet for months. And already lost more than 20 pounds. Right now, I’ve been craving for something BIG. Before, I can really eat a lot. 

There was this eating contest way back in Ateneo High School. I was the grand champion eating 23 hotdogs in 1 min 30 seconds. I think that is still the record of Hotdog eating contest in AHS because I heard the nearest time was 2 minutes flat. 

I also tried eating with Kenny Rogers Eat-All-You can Chicken. It was a challenge for me and my barkada. I finished with 16 pieces of chicken breast while my other barkada finished with 15 pieces. Sixteen of us were in double digits. We estimated how much losses Kenny Rogers incurred that day. It was around two thousand pesos. Hahaha. Now that’s what I call feast. After that, Kenny Rogers never again held Eat-All-You can promo. 

Now, I’ve been craving for a BIG pizza or a BIG burger. Then, I heard about this pizza - Pizza Niro that they serve 30 inch pizzas. Now, that is what I call BIGGG. 

I researched about this one where I can find the nearest branch. It is located in Makati near where I worked before. Hahahaha.

With regards to burger I found this one. This is from Burger Avenue also located in Makati Avenue. Wow, it was like what we serve before in our store. But, BIGGER, I sure hope this taste better. But, what I really like about this one is that they have a 5-minute contest.

Eat this for 5 minutes and they’ll make it free of charge. Yeah, that’s right. It’s around 200 buck. So for heavy eaters, these are the foods to go. So, who wants to go food trippin’ with me. Hahaha

A Love Letter for Cheesecake

Cheesecake and I are inseparable. I am forever a cheesecake lover and cheesecake dearly loves me. It seems there is always an attraction magnifying us stronger than ever before. Every bite of its delectable and simply scrumptious bits of cheesecake is actually making love with it.

This attraction makes me wonder and wander what cheesecake will help me feel like having sex without the feeling of any guilt? I’ve already tried plenty of cheese cake that makes  me feel horny while thinking of feeling its taste melting in my mouth. The ever filling Burgoo’s Raspberry and Oreo Cheesecake makes my life complete. The cheesecake of Cheesecake Etc., makes my day complete. The Blueberry Cheesecake of Red Ribbon. I’ve even craved for cheesecake of Bo’s Coffee. 

With my insatiable craving, I kept on searching for more and more tempting delicacies. Just recently, I’ve tried Evert’s Desserts (http://evertsdesserts.multiply.com) Strawberry Cheesecake. As I saw its round-shaped figured topped with red, heart-like strawberries, my mouth watered with eagerness to take its first taste. Slowly, but surely, I slipped my mouth at a spoonful of her strawberry cheesecake.

Bam! I was overwhelmed by the sensation. My senses cannot even explain the feeling right after that first bite. I was in heaven strolling and dancing with my precious loved one. And it felt like it was just my first time experiencing that sensational feeling.

I thank God for His wonderful creations. I also thank you Ms. Evert, for offering me your exceptionally delicious cheesecake. I hope that I also feel this kind of feeling once I tried your other sinful desserts.

I wish I can live forever with you. Truly, the sky is the limit for you my beloved…. Cheesecake.
