If there is frozen Brazo de Mercedez from Dimpy, check out this frozen sansrival! YUMMY!!  

It looks just like a regular sansrival but it has ice cream in it!

I discovered this at the Karl Edward Bazaar and Elaine was selling her cookies and pastries.  I actually liked her White House Peppermint cookies and Chocolate Chips which she was sampling and selling that day.  She was not selling her Frozen Sansrival but it was in her price list and I asked her about it and ordered it!  I LOVE IT!

I also featured Elaine in Baker’s Dozen when she was exhibiting at the Power plant mall.

I am CRAZY over CRAZY SUSHIs!  Also, aren’t you happy that now they found a way to make use of the leftover tempura batter that does not stick to the tempura?  Nothing goes to waste.  The “crunchy” part on the side of the sushi is the fried tempura batter pieces.    I wonder if they will give you extra if you ask for more because that is partially what makes it YUMMY! These are the three YUMMY kinds I have discovered so far….

I try to avoid going to Salcedo Market because you cannot imagine the temptation of going through all the booths there…I was just supposed to get the Bangus belly for dad last Saturday and true enough, on the way, I saw this! 

I couldn’t say no!  I just had to try it! And as you can see at around 11 am, it was almost gone

You can put lettuce, tomatoes, onions, chili sauce, garlic sauce and cheese.  

From the same makers as the steak and cheese! I have not tried that burger yet!

Our sister Tina always brings to Sunday family lunch tons and tons of chocolates.  Everyone always looks forward to this.  And many times, there is always a new discovery!    

The de Jesus family are all chocolate lovers!  

Thanks to Gerry and Tina for bringing us back these chocolates from Germany!   As we always say,  next time, BRING US WITH YOU!

Milka of course is a family favorite and I agree with you Tins, the Milka cookies are soooo…. good! But then again, I agree with Dina, your homemade chocolate chip cookies are much better… just try experimenting and using Milka chocolates.  And DAIM with Milka! I will share one bar with Keena because she loves Daim too. The Ovomaltine is still being saved for a special occassion!  :-)  Keep them coming!!

Whenever in the States, we go crazy with all the snacks they have to offer.  

Here are some new and exciting snack discoveries, most of which are CHEESE related ( of course!  ) :

Always like the Lindt truffles but this time they had STRACIATELLA which is white chocolate ( Heart2Heart’s favorite ) with cocoa pieces.  YUMMY!! This was a hit with everyone else !

 YUMMY flavor!!! Ants, when will we have it here in the Philippines?  It says Limited edition though.  I hope they make it a basic.  

This UTZ Cheeseballs is equivalent to 10 cans of the regular sized cheeseballs.  This costs only US$ 6.99!

From Trader Joe’s, FAT FREE but definitely not SUGAR FREE but YUMMY!!

EMAIL FROM KRIE:  ”go to gray’s papaya for the super sarap tastes-like-steak hotdogs (take the boys) ”

So I did!  YUMMY!! I just wish they had more locations so it is easier for us to get them. 

Rudy is a Filipino and he helped us out.  I took his photo and he told me to send it to him.  I told him he will be in Heart2Heart so this is dedicated to Rudy!

As usual we get harassed when there are many people lining up or ordering in a place.  Rudy asked us how we liked our hotdog. Gosh!  We did not know.  So we said, just put everything!  This is how “everything” looks like….

Jaime likes the ” EVERYTHING” while Javs and I liked the plain.  You get to taste more of the hotdog and Krie was right, they are “taste-like steak hotdogs.”  They have no mayonnaise but they have mustard on the counter if you want to put mustard. The hotdogs are very small so even my kids can finish two pieces.

Play the video to listen to the theme song while you read this to put you in the Pinkberry mood!  :-)

How I wish I were eating a Pinkberry right now!  Last year, James had mentioned to us about Pinkberry as Starbucks had invested in this new concept.  So it was a definite MUST TRY on our list.  We visited Pinkberry the night before we left New York.  We kept procrastinating since the family said it was not their type, it was sour, the kids did not really like it, etc etc.  The kids were expecting the typical soft serve or something like their favorite, Golden Spoon. So I guess when you have expectations, of course you will be disappointed.  Though Jackie and Krie told us they loved it.  So, just like anything else, it is a matter of taste.  This is now Heart2Heart’s all time favorite frozen delight! 

One shop had just opened a few days after we arrived near where we stayed.  and OH MY GOSH!!  James and I loved it!!!!!!! We wanted to pass by and get another Pinkberry on the way to the airport but we were running late!

There are only 3 flavors to choose from- ORIGINAL PINKBERRY, GREEN TEA and COFFEE

We were able to taste all since they sample out small cups- we liked the ORIGINAL PINKBERRY FLAVOR!  It is so refreshing and so YUMMY!  It is more icy than creamy and it has a sweet taste to it contrary to what the others said.  And adding the fresh kiwi and strawberry made it even taste better.    

Love this flyer which they gave out!

“Absence makes the HEART SWIRL fonder!”

It was so hot in New York!  There was a heat wave and there was a day when it hit a record high of 98 degress! Good excuse to have all the frozen delights! Though, even when it is cold in NY, we still get all the frozen treats!!  :-)

Yummy Tasti D-Lite!  There are many of them in the streets of New York but they vary in size.  The bigger the place the more flavors they have and the more candies they have.  We are lucky to have a big one beside where we stayed. The stores are a bit old already and have not been updated…but nevermind…we just go to get the soft serve.

All soft serves are 80 calories or less ONLY!!! But the taste is still creamy and YUMMY! It’s not ice cream and it’s not yogurt!

WOW!! Javier is in paradise!!! Only in big locations they have this much candy to choose from!

The flavors change all the time and small places usually only have one or two flavors.  So this location had six! The smallest size costs around US$ 3.50 and it goes up if you add toppings.

You can visit their website to see the Nutrition facts of each flavor:  Tasti D-Lite Flavors 

Javs always has to have his sprinkles, I like mine plain so I can taste the flavor of the soft serve!
