Golden Spoon, Japan

By | Travel, Yummy! | 2 Comments

Two years ago, our friends, Howard and Lynn, took us to Golden Spoon in Palm Springs.  We all loved it, especially the kids

So when we found out they opened in Japan, we made sure we stopped by to get some! YUMMY!!!  The nice thing about Golden Spoon which is different from the other frozen yogurt shops is that:

1.)  they have plenty flavors to choose from – they don’t carry all at once but they rotate the flavors

2.)  It is CREAMY and tastes like PREMIUM ICE CREAM. You can’t believe it is yogurt! One reason maybe the kids really love it

yet it is still HEALTHY!

We hope we can have this in the Philippines!!!!  Who knows ? 

Golden Spoon Tokyo – this branch was situated beside a skating rink in a mall.  It was a small one and had only 3 flavors to choose from

Erica Chao, the owner and Marketing Manager, was there.  He has great visions for the brand and franchising it not only here in the Philippines, but all over the world.  More power to you Eric!

And if drinks from vending machines are not enough, there are many many convenience stores around the city!! Round the clock 24 hours! Like having Starbucks in every block 🙂 Lawson has the best selection among the ones we have been to.  I wish COOP ( Sango and Coop March 1, 2007 ) ( New Snack Discoveries at Coop March 28, 2008 ) were still open 🙁

Malunggay Pesto

By | Yummy! | 4 Comments

Thanks to T. Manfred and T. Chinggay for this Malunggay pesto!  What a great idea to use malunggay for pesto.  

I remember my feature on Heart Warmers ( August 1, 2008 ) where my friend, Denise, supports

 the Trees for Life www.treesforlife.org tfl-logo-home.png

Project Moringa Tree in creating awareness on the benefits of the Moringa tree (Malunggay)  

 T. Chinggay also told me that for Christmas, she always makes it a point to help outreach, livelihood programs and charitable organizations. What a nice gesture!

My cousin, Robbie, heard about my love for yogurt and told me about his frozen yogurt!  I was so happy that he told me about it and immediately I ordered all the flavors!!

My favorite flavors are Vanilla, Strawberry Berry and Coffee.  It is more tarty than my favorite frozen yogurts that come from the machine, but I like it also.  YUMMY!!! I LOVE FROZEN YOGURT!!! I love hearing that it is healthy.  How can something healthy taste so good?  🙂
