Jollibee Releases JolliDance Showdown App and Jolly Pinoy Collectibles

 I'm a believer... in dreams made of happiness.. and what a child wants it to be. I believe it's something that would let them develop even BIGGER things, improve race and make technology beneficial for themselves, and generations to come. 

 

Just week ago, Jollibee got us to experience something new. They have been working so hard together with a US based tech company called Trigger to make use of the new generation Jolly Joy Box and how they would get to make this simple packaged treat for kids become a great live dance studio for Jollibee, you and his whole crew! Unbelievable? Yes, but not quite impossible as we saw it in action last week! It's called JolliDance Showdown!

Step 1 Go get a Jolly Kiddie Meal (Jolly Joy Box shown above) and enjoy it in the store, at home, or anywhere in the world!

Step 2 Download the JolliDance Showdown App on the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play

Step 3 Once installed, open it and scan your Jolly Joy Box. You'll see the actual box come to life and be a full blown Jollibee Store complete with disco balls and stuff!

Step 4 You can also take a selfie and join Jollibee and friends in the lovely dance number

Step 5 You can also make your own dance track by going to the DJ for Jollibee section and dance it off with Jollibee!

Step 6 To get Jollibee's friends like Hetty, Popo Potato, Mr. Yum or Twirlie, go to your nearby Jollibee store and scan the special sign so you can unlock them all. Remember, you can only do this one character per day so you have to go back to Jollibee!

You'll love how Jollibee and his friends would be able to interact with your kids and it's just super cool to see it dance the whole day without getting tired. Imagine it on top of your table, your toys, your couch, your car, and just about anywhere you could fit that Jolly Joy Box! It's like magic and it's the first time for any fast food restaurant to launch an app of this nature! You'll love Jollibee all over again! 

That's not all, because they've also got something for the young and young at heart. Take a look at these lovely Jolly Pinoy Collectibles!

The Hetty Vinta Getaway would remind you of Zamboanga where these lovely boats are found. She also moves and plays the sound of the waves. It's not your ordinary toy which you can get for 150 Philippine Pesos for each value meal purchase.

The Twirlie Pinoy Sorbetes on  the other hand will make you miss the grandfather of all Pinoy street desserts, the ice cream and vehicle we call Sorbetes. She also calls for customers and rings that little bell on her hand when she needs too. This is just too fun!

My personal favorite among all the toys is this Popo Carabao Farm. Of course KUMACOW is related to the Philippine Carabao and the cute french fry guy takes care of the audible mooing animal he's with. You should get this!

For some touristy fun, get this Mr. Yum Kalesa Fun toy. It also shrieks like a real horse at a touch of a switch. Don't you just want to take it home?

Nothing comes close to being Pinoy than the real deal Jollibee Jeepney! If you want to know, Jollibee even calls passengers to ride on this cute little jeep beside him. He doesn't just make YUMmy burgers, he's also a barker!

As I mentioned, you can enjoy these lovely Jolly Pinoy Collectibles by purchasing a Jollibee Value Meal and 150 bucks! That's a steal if you ask me because this lovely toys would last you for generations, you just have to take good care of it!

Now how's that for a Jollibee laden post? You've got the JolliDance Showdown App, plus a ton of new Jolly Pinoy Collectibles to get when you're inside a Jollibee store anywhere in the world! Oh yes, whether you are in the US or in the Philippines, the next time you crave for Chickenjoy, Yum or Champ Burgers, you'll see these inside the store so collect them all!

Jollibee Releases Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger and Halo-Halo Sundae

Looks like Filipino brand Jollibee is dishing out its arsenal as they bring out for a limited time some good ol Pinoy favorites. In celebration of Philippine Independence this whole month of June, they introduced a new concept, the Jollibee Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger and my personal favorite the Halo-Halo Sundae!

The Jollibee Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger is made of your original Yum beef patty topped with Chicken Adobo Flakes on a soft bun. This makes the burger extra savory, garlicky, peppery, with a hint of dried laurel, vinegar and soy flavor. It's to pay homage to the #PinoyAndProud people who love that home cooked Adobo, a candidate for the national dish in the Philippines. 

Aside from that, they finally made one of the things that I've thought of a few years back. They made a Halo Halo Sundae. The Halo Halo already made headlines in L.A. when it got featured in Anthony Bourdain's show but this version doesn't contain ice but only the ice cream they make on their machines. It was lovely, something that I didn't know would personally work... But it did!

Jollibee isn't also going to stop there, they will be making this whole month of June a little more memorable by holding tons of events and FREE Adobo Flakes Yum! Burger in the coming days so make sure you follow them on their official Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JollibeePhilippines or their website http://www.jollibee.com.ph. You can also have them all delivered through their new hotline by pressing #87000 on you phone because Jollibee wants you to feel how it is to be #PinoyAndProud!

Make sure you like their page because they promise more events as they participate in the Independence day festivities this June. Have you already tasted the burgers? How was it? I like the Halo Halo Sundae so if you can please get me another serving.

Figaro Releases "Blissful Holiday" Drinks and Meals

Had the chance to visit Figaro in Tomas Morato a few days ago together with some other bloggers as they introduced new holiday meals and drinks this season, they call it Blissful Holiday. I tried them all so don't be surprised why I'm fat for crying out loud LOL. Anyway, here's what we had :)

The Chicken Galantine Canneloni is much like our favorite chicken dish but it's stuffed inside Canneloni pasta and laid in with a chunky tomato based sauce with basil and parmesan cheese. It's hearty and filling, but more on the tangy side. This costs 189 and would be perfect with any cold drink I presume.

The Chicken Mushroom Cannelloni on the other hand is more creamy. For those who prefer a not to acidic kind of dinner, then this would be it. The mushroom bits are mixed into the chicken and stuffed inside the cannelloni pasta too. I think they sauteed that before pouring a little cream on top. This is my favorite. They make it al dente so you can still feel the pasta  when you bite into it.

For those who want a more filling plate, this is their Chicken Roulade Plate. It's got fried chicken breast rolled and breaded with meaty filling inside. It is served with a side of Arrabbiata, Pesto, Al Tonno or Carbonara. It's good for 2 actually, but if you're like me that can actually have a big meal... go ahead and make my day! This costs 249, a bit good for how big of a meal this is. Then, here's the drinks!

This is Hazelnut Cinnamon done three ways. One is a Jelly Float, the other is a latte, and my favorite is the Frost! It's all good, very affordable too and you kinda get the spice in the drinks so in a nutshell, it's christmasy if there's a term for that.

Premium Salted Caramel - my personal favorite among the cakes and pastries served that evening. It's deceiving because you think it's going to be chocolatey but no, it's more on the caramel side of things and it's really good.

For those who don't like it sweet, the Light Ginger Bread Loaf may be your best option. It's fluffy, like a soft gingerbread man and would be perfect with black coffee. I like that they stayed with the taste that would probably be more English if that makes sense. 

For those who love those sweet fruit bits on fruit cakes, this Fruit Loaf Mini is something that you would also like. It's like a lighter version of fruit cake but you get those intense bits of fruit you love in fruit cakes. I know that sounded a bit redundant but that's what it actually really tastes like. Yes this also has rum on it, but not going to make you buzzed after a piece or two. It's nice for those Frost drinks they have in the store. Order more!

 For those who want a combination of sweet and tangy, they've got this Fruit Forest Cheese Cake. It's baked cheesecake topped with whipped cream and layers of fruit cream and 5 kinds of berries. I think it was strawberries, raspberries, blue berries, black berries, red currant. I liked this one too. Have hot coffee with this one instead so it'll contrast with the cold cheesecake. Trust me on hot Hazelnut Cinnamon coffee.

Here's what happened during the small event at Figaro in Tomas Morato:


Figaro Blissful Holiday by kumagcow

For those who love merchandise, Figaro can give you the Figaro Notebook, Ribbed Tumbler, Vacuum Flask, Yellow Stainless Tumbler, Magic Mug, Coffee Belt mugs, Bean Map Mug and Mask Mug available all year and you don't have to collect stickers anymore to get it. Cool right? Aside from that, they've got Gift Certificates. It's the best thing to give if you're near a Figaro Branch and your office mates would just use it for their everyday coffee dose. It's available in 100 and 500 denominations, so no need to worry if you're out of ideas. They can decide themselves and get the best coffee at Figaro.

It'll only be available this holiday season so if you've got spare time, visit a store or branch near you!
