Jollibee\u2019s Choco Mallow Pie
P32 for one, P89 for three
We first spotted Jollibee\u2019s Choco Mallow Pie in a Facebook post written by someone who had eaten three in one sitting. \u201cWhoa, \u201d we thought. And then, the next day, we ate three in one sitting.
Jollibee\u2019s Choco Mallow Pie is tiny but mighty chocolatey. Some people complain that it\u2019s too sweet but these are the same people who will complain that s\u2019 mores are too sweet. We like our sweets sweet. (Also, we love s\u2019 mores so much that we can eat them every day.) And that\u2019s essentially what the Choco Mallow Pie is\u2014our beloved bee\u2019s take on the classic campfire treat: a mix of melted chocolate and gooey marshmallow trapped not between graham crackers but inside a chocolate version of that Peach Mango Pie crust we all know and love.
McDonald\u2019s Creamy Truffle Shake Fries
P70 for medium, P139 for BFF
Can\u2019 t deny it, we\u2019 re obsessed with truffle everything (the thought of Va Bene\u2019s truffle tagliatelle fills us with joy) so of course we had to try McDonald\u2019s Creamy Truffle Shake Fries. Did it taste like our favorite truffle fries from Diamond Hotel? Not really. We still enjoyed it though. You get a whiff of that rich and earthy scent when you rip open the packet of powder and, once you\u2019 re done sprinkling and shaking, you can enjoy creamy, cheesy, chive-y fries with a hint of truffle flavor. It\u2019s the most affordable truffle fix we know.
What\u2019s next, Quarter Pounder with Foie Gras?
Dunkin\u2019 Donuts\u2019 Cheese Trickles
P35 for 5 pieces
Something has stolen the crown from our Dunkin\u2019 Donuts favorites: Cheese Trickles, which they introduced in 2015. These little munchkins are balls of delight. (I like to think of them as baby ensaymadas.) They\u2019 re sweet, salty and cheesy and you can\u2019 t stop at eating just one.
Wendy\u2019s Vanilla Frosty
P38 for small, P60 for medium, P74 for large
For decades, we believed that we lived in a world that had only one kind of Frosty\u2014chocolate, that cold creamy cross between soft-serve ice cream and milkshake that we loved so much we used to play hooky and skip classes so we can grab a cup. It was only recently that we found out that Wendy\u2019s had introduced a new variant in 2006\u2014 vanilla. We discovered it at a tiny stall in Greenhills. It was cold, creamy and comforting\u2014it offered such a relief from the summer heat. We liked it so much we wanted to inhale it. But when we asked the Wendy\u2019s girl if we can use a straw to slurp it up, she said, \u201cMa\u2019 am, mahihirapan po kayo.\u201d
We\u2019 re done kicking ourselves for not finding out about Vanilla Frosty sooner. We\u2019 re now in the process of making up for the lost time by enjoying at least one cup every week. And, while writing this, we just ordered Twisted Frosty Salted Caramel Crunch, Twisted Frosty Classic with Oreo Cookies and Frosty Tops \u2013 Mango Graham Burst.
Yellow Cab\u2019s My Stuff
P195
Every phone call to Yellow Cab is a struggle especially when we\u2019 re alone. We always want a taste of all our favorites\u2014#4 Cheese pizza, Hot Wings and pasta\u2014and so we always end up over-ordering, overspending and overeating. But Yellow Cab has put together their greatest hits in one box: My Stuff, giving you pizza, pasta and wings in an affordable package. And you get to pick what\u2019s in your box: Pepperoni or #4 Cheese pizza pouch? Charlie Chan Chicken Pasta or Spaghetti with Meat Sauce? Garlic Parmesan, Sriracha, Barbecue Chicken or Hot Wings? Now if they\u2019 d only add Chicken Alfredo Pasta as an option, life would truly be perfect.<\/p>\n
