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.

Swensen's® : The Ulitmate Sundae Experience Opens in Eastwood City!

Head's up summers here! But it's actually time to extinguish that craving with something more appropriate for the season and yes it'll be better because SWENSEN's is here!

Swensen's who opened their flagship store in Mall of Asia's South Wing now has something up their sleeves as they open their second branch which is just a stone's throw away from my office at the Eastwood City. It's in the Eastwood Mall's 2nd Floor Veranda; and I was so excited to get first dibs via the scoop off! 

People in central Quezon City now have reason to rejoice as those sweet, creamy, dreamy concoctions are heading over to our area with the same AWESOME goodness Swensen's is known for the world over!

My hot afternoon got extinguished with this Snickers inspired sundae they call Snick-A-Choc. I was always fond of the candy and this was greatly represented by that. It didn't disappoint in the taste department because they obviously do not hold back in giving you the best ingredients. Most of these are imported and only a few fruits are locally sourced. They do not want to compromise quality and take pride in making your sundae experience the ULTIMATE one in each serving!

World class preparation, storage and ingredients from Swensen's. You can expect nothing less!

For cookie lovers, this one is highly recommended. This is part of their Chocolate Fantasy line called Oreo Cookies'n Cream. I've tasted this one in the past, its like a freshly dunked cookie made cold. =)

Your Maltesers just got even better on this one called Frosted Choc Malt Fantasy. Those round maltesers could be hiding in velvety chocolate ice cream so I'm sure you won't have any problems looking for it!

One of their signature sundaes called Strawberry, Banana and Cream for obvious reasons is a top seller. I love this one too! Who can resist fresh fruits in Ice Cream anyway!

For Waffle lovers, this basket sundae they call Crispy Cocktail would definitely be something you would go for if you like that fruit fix together with Ice Cream. Who says it can't be healthy? =)

Those things you miss when you were a kid and you thought you won't see it anymore. Care for a Banana Boat? Yes they have that kind of Sundae too. 

If that version doesn't inspire you enough to have a weekend break with your kids maybe this Nutty Banana would make you feel a whole lot better!

It doesn't end there. They've got a whole lot of Sundaes and more in their menu that you haven't seen yet. If you don't think this is heavenly enough, try to stop what you are doing now and visit them at the 2nd Floor of the Eastwood Mall's Veranda and get your Swensen's fix. They are officially opening today, Saturday May 5, 2012. It's the best thing you'll ever do for your kids and loved ones. The ULTIMATE SUNDAE EXPERIENCE is just in Eastwood City or the South Wing of Mall of Asia. Take your pick and get yourself introduced to what Swensen's is all about!

Congratulation's Swensen's Philippines! Thank you for bringing the best San Francisco Sundae since 1948! I can't wait to see one more branch in my neighborhood soon!

The EARTHQUAKE: Swensen's Greatest Sundae Offering!

Swensen's is dubbed as America's Favorite Ice Cream since 1948. Successfully founded their first store in San Francisco offering quality, quantity and value for their money; founder Earle Swensen has shown the general public that this is the formula for running a great brand. I told you a few months back that this is already in the Philippines and it was high time that I try and encounter their biggest sundae offering promptly called "The Earthquake".

Just imagine 8 scoops of rich, thick, awesome ice cream goodness plus sweet crunchy toppings all in one huge bowl for you to enjoy. When I saw it that HUGE I knew I couldn't finish it all by myself so I got my friends to tag along. Myke Soon from http://mixofeverything.blogspot.com/ and Azrael Coladilla of http://azraelsmerryland.blogspot.com/ joined to encounter this phenomenal treat from Swensen's!

It's humongous serving and great ingredients spelled the "principle of the brand" and got us a little challenged. Scoop after scoop we tasted the different flavors as we shared one bowl of awesome rich ice cream sundae goodness! Az liked the almonds, whilst Myke liked the cream since its rich yet not too sweet. I love the various flavors and that's what is going to keep me coming back for more, for new mega sundaes never before seen in the islands!

Oh did I forget to tell you about the Rootbeer Float too?! =)

In my standards, it definitely passed with flying colors! If it was possible to take this home I'd probably have my folks jumping up and down of excitement. But that would melt on the way so you really need to visit their store at the South Wing - Mall of Asia. More branches will be opening soon! Rumor has it that they'll have one more in Eastwood! Get that Earthquake fix for sharing with friends and family!

They are open this holiday season too!
