JAMBA JUICE BGC

2012-01-30T22:07:00.000-08:00

Jamba Juice --- At first, I thought it was just an ordinary juice store but when I googled about it, it was kinda famous especially outside the country. I never thought! lol

My close friends in the morning shift decided to go and try their different flavors and good enough, I wasn't expecting their big servings to be literally big. They have three different sizes -- small, medium and large.

When you get inside, it's cozy, you feel fresh like it's tropicalish (trying to create a new word). Yeah! kinda tropical because you'll see different kinds of fruits in their baskets and there are lots of oranges that you wanna squeeze. So cool!

They have their print there that is actually cool. See below.

It's cute. And it's true, it all started with a blender but totally will give you pleasure. But it's kinda disappointing that their tables inside are so cute that you can hardly put your things or other orders because it's like limited to only three persons. Anyway, I ordered Strawberries Wild -- a combination of strawberries, bananas, non-fat yogurt and apple strawberry juice. with free boosts: Immunity. I really don't get why they have this free boosts and shots but maybe they're known for that. There are lots of choices to choose from and I will post here the different choices so that everyone of you have an idea. Plus they have this menu item list with serving size, number of calories, saturated fat, carbs and sodium that is really beneficial to those who are health conscious. :)

And the fun part that I loved there is their photo booth. You can actually take a picture and directly send it to your email. Here's a sample of my pic:

I'll try other flavors. I'll keep you posted next time :)

California Berry

I just got it from my friend because she got a voucher worth Php 65. Thanks to Ensogo.com.ph for the promo :) I made my personalized froyo full of blueberries, mango and strawberries. Kiwis were not available at that time so I purchased it the second time I went there. I liked the taste because I enjoyed the presence of blueberries on top of it. Maybe if it was plain froyo, I wouldn't appreciate it.

I went back to grab another bite of yogurt full of kiwis and it was a more delicious combination of blueberry and kiwi. So Yum! :)

They have this logo that says, "Good Health Starts at Php 60". Well, they are promoting non-fat froyo that is really a good business strategy because it's a fad these days to be physically fit. But if I religiously follow the goal to be fit, then I would waste a lot of money. Froyo in every meal is not a wise idea. lol It gives me pain in my wallet. :)

They have a branch here at Market! Market! Mall located at 5th Floor, near Cinema 7 (If I'm not mistaken)

Bubble Tea: Bonifacio Global City

2012-01-29T18:56:00.002-08:00

We went there out of the blue because originally, we were supposed to go to Teazzle but it was closed so we walked a few steps from 31st Street to 30th Street and we were so thrilled to stay there because their ambiance was so CUTE --- pink, mint green, purple, yellow, white, etc love it! :) And with employees greeting you in Japanese: "Kon ni chi wa" (depends on the time of the day)

Menu: In English and Japanese translation

We love the tea, it was so milky. I ordered Strawberry Milk Tea because I think pink milk tea looks cute and it was kinda sour. Same with Tapioca Milk Tea. The chocolate milk tea tasted like dark chocolate but sweeter one. And I tried Taro Milk Tea the second time I went there. And I liked it.

Takoyaki: A Must Try

Their Takoyaki: two thumbs up. I so love it even the cream inside. Gosh! It's a comfort food :)

Location: The Fort Residences Bldg, 30th St cor 2nd Ave, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City

Teazzle: Bonifacio Global City

2012-01-29T18:56:00.001-08:00

My friends and I got a voucher from Ensogo.com.ph and we got it for only Php45 -- half the price. So we decided to get those teas and walked from Market! Market! to Teazzle, which was like a 20-minute brisk walk -- not really that tiring because we had fun walking but imagine if you would walk under the heat of the sun, then better ride a taxi. lol! So anyway, when we reached there, we didn't expect it to be that small, like a snug tea house. It was masikip if you imagine people coming there with lots of orders. They better expand the place for future purposes.

Their milk tea was okay compared to Jelly-G which contained lots of ice. lol I love Okinawa Milk Tea and Taro Milk Tea.

Foccacia: A Romantic Place to Eat

2012-01-29T17:56:00.000-08:00

My officemate introduced this to us. She hasn't actually gone here but she was consistently inviting us to come and join her and eat at Foccacia. We arranged our schedule and off we went even if the rain was pouring heavily. We enjoyed the pizza; it was so good and I enjoyed rolling the pizza filling it with alfalfa sprouts and arugula leaves. Super Yummy! :)

Lots to order

Their seats were awesome especially their high chairs. I enjoyed the view from above. Super cool! ;) And they had this color combination of red, black and white -- twas like Valentine's Day everyday. You would actually enjoy the stay if you'd be together with your partner or have a date with friends. Although, it's kinda expensive but worth it. :)

Cool Menu on the Wall

I super enjoyed eating this pizza. It was like you were creating something different to a pizza, like putting some healthy stuff on it then roll it and presto: ready to eat :) It was like a Dear Darla Pizza @ Yellow Cab but this one's a much less oil compared to dear darla.

Anyway, just a trivia: Because I was really curious why it was called Dear Darla, so who is Darla anyway? I googled about it and there I found out that Darla and Alfalfa are couples in love. It was from a film adaptation from the late 20's which was later filmed again to this new title "The Little Rascals". I haven't seen the movie though but it was interesting, I think. Maybe some of you have watched it and good thing for you :) Just a thought :) So better enjoy your stay their at Foccacia located at the Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Charlie's Grind and Grill

2012-01-29T17:05:00.000-08:00

Charlie's @ Pasig

I often go to Charlie's with my officemates during payday. It's kinda ritual. And whenever we eat there, I always get a big tummy when going home.It's kinda expensive but the serving is so worth it that you would want to eat the next half of the burger for the next day.

The first time I went there, I wasn't amazed with the ambiance because it was near a car wash and in my opinion, the two stores didn't fit that much to be together. But nonetheless, there were lots of people hanging out and visiting the store, probably because, it was near a car wash -- no, i guess, it was because of the burger, perse. LOL... so, I would say, the burgers are really good and you could share half of it to your partner or other friend but if you were like eating like a sumo wrestler then better savor every bite of it. :)

the burger that I hardly finish :)

The best buffalo wings :)

Fish and Chips

Fili Cheese Steak

Panko Crusted Deep Fried Cheese Stuffed Portabello Mushroom with Black Angus Burger Patty

How to go there: Honestly, I'm not good with directions. So all I can suggest is ride a taxi and make sure you're heading C5 if you're from the south (not Edsa because it's kinda traffic especially in Shaw) then tell the driver to head at Kapitolyo. You'll gonna make a u-turn upon reaching the Caltex gasoline station. Then turn right, then after you reach the second block, turn left. then you'll see the carwash first instead of the grill house. hehe... but here's the full address and tel #:

Address: 16 East Kapitolyo Drive, Pasig City
Telephone: +632 501-0137, +63 939-4504758

Gayuma Ni Maria

2012-01-28T11:01:00.000-08:00

YES! Because the food there is so great i wanna crave for more. i am really amazed by whoever thought of the names in their menu. it's quite unique because then and there, you will really be intrigued by those foods and what they taste like.

it was introduced to us by our boss and the whole team, CC team, decided to go there. so, how to get there in the first place. of course, from our workplace, Market!Market!, Taguig, we went to MRT Ayala station and headed our way to GMA Kamuning station, rode a cab going to Gayuma ni Maria. it was a different experience when you entered the restaurant because you could feel the spirit of love and the urge to be loved. i saw different decorations with aphrodisiacs and ice breaker, which i think, the purpose of the owner is to let the customers enjoy their stay and let them feel that they are just at home eating and having fun.

the food that i would never forget is the ROCK ME BABY because the baby back ribs and the mashed potatoes are a good combination. plus the 7 desserts we've ordered really rocks! How about the "I wanna have a 69 please!"

i just got the pictures from this link. http://www.clickthecity.com/metro/?p=9542 (thank you source!)
