Past are the chocolate era, welcome cheese and leche flan favored crunchy snack that made me say wowwowowww! These individually wrapped stick snacks is so yummy that I buy a box for me and another for my son. The mathematician geek in me computes that this is about P2.60 per stick. A sari sari store in our area sells this at P4 each. Not bad! But I just cant take one stick per sitting. Once I open a box, cant help but grab several sticks and munch over in front of the tube.
Product Name: Pugon baked Pandesal
Price: Small P3 and Big P6
Branches: NCR, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac,Cavite,Tagaytay, Batangas, Bicol, Bacolod, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Davao
I guess true blooded Pinoy always go ga-ga over hot pandesal, plain or with spread, with or without coffee. A new Pan de Manila branch opened couple of months ago a block away from our office in Paseo de Roxas Makati. I am one of the many who waits eagerly at its opening. Pan de Manila did not disappoint me in any way. On opening day until today that I am writing this blog, their Pugon baked Pandesal is a block buster. Strategically located near offices who doesn’t mind costly pan de sal for breakfast, its aroma every morning makes my tummy crumble. Wrapped in brown paper bags, my everyday 5 pieces small pandesal is as good as always,freshly baked, hot and tasty with every bite. I still buy pandesal in our downtown stores during weekends, but on office days, my morning route starts at Pan de Manila.

The new chicharon in town, made from dehydrated green peas, yummy, crunchy and worth the extra calories I am creating. At the first bite, the tastes battle with oneself, salty, sour and spicy in one bite. This no pig..uhm..no pork chicharon is not cholesterol free,mind you, but it surely can be an alternate of our all-time favorite chicharon.

I love Cornetto come summer or high water. The delicious ice cream makes me forget my name. Its firm inside and out and I always save the best for last....the bottom tip, where chocolate is collected at the end of the cone, making me eat the entire piece from top to bottom.

Who says Andoks is only known for its roasted chicken? I beg to disagree. I go to Andok not to buy those chicken and liempo, but their affordable and yummy bibingka available as long as their chicken are available. Topped with butter ,salted eggs and coconut shreads, wrapped in banana leaf, these bibingka are served hot. I can consume one whole piece all by myself.

By Kopi Roti

My first encounter with Kopi Roti’s Kopi Bun, soft bread with coffee flavored crust and buttery filling inside, was during a Stress Management activity at the office where coffee buns and coffee are overflowing. I don’t remember the activity anymore, but I sure remember the bun. The same week I visited their branch in Ayala Avenue Makati to recapture its glorious coffee and butter taste in a bun. Big fluffy bun makes me full at P40 only.

Product Name: Magic Pop Korean Snack
Price: P35 per pack, plain Magic Pop. P45 per pack for flavored Magic Pop
Flavors: Cheese, Barbeque
Branches: SM Branches
For the weight-conscious-but-loves-to-grab-a-snack people, sometimes me included though I am not that weight conscious but loves to grab a snack, this is for you. Your very own snack is born...uhm…cooked….uhm…made. No Trans fat, no oil, no cooking at all, these food are magically popped from whatever-their-machine are called. They are similar with chicharon, but not quite, rice cakes or perhaps popcorn, still, not really. It is plain looking but crunchy multigrain made from wheat and tastes good, not to sweet but not bland at all. Flavored pops are also available at an additional cost. I guess this is something we can say...from Korean with Love.
Product Name: Polvoron
Price: Range from P70-P120, pouch or box
Flavors: Pinipig, Pili, Cashew, Classic, Cookies and Cream and Chocolate coated
By MOTZ Food Products
Branches: Key malls in NCR
My personal favorite? All of them. For me,they are the best polvoron in the country and my taste buds cannot get enough of them. The polvoron is firm and melts in your mouth. The flavor is very distinct that you can recognize it with your eyes closed while savoring it. It is not too sweet,not too grainy and really Pinoy made inside and out.
