Strawberry Cheesecake Frappe

It's easy to fall in love with cheesecake. Any cheesecake for that matter. But when I saw Sbux blending them in their frappuccino, honestly I doubted them.

I was wrong.

Their latest frappe is actually a special variant of strawberry and cream. The difference is the topping. You get the classic favorite topped with creamcheese instead of the regular whipped cream drizzled with strawberry syrup. It's also sprinkled with Graham cookie crumbles. Not sure why we have dark and light crumbles though. To lend color to texture I suh-pose.

Location: Starbucks

Price: 190 PhP

Melon and Mushroom

Jollibee Watermelon Sprite float

Direct copycat from McDo's floats galore. Both floats are filled almost to the brim with ice. I loved McDo's Rockin' Ruby with all its strawberry goodness while hating the Green Fizz which is after all some green goo with fake kiwi flavors. Anyways, I haven't tried Jabee's Coke float so I can't compare it yet. But the Watermelon float is good. With its pinkish/anemic-red coloring you could say it almost looks watermelon-y but wait til you taste it... boom it tastes like Melon. Weird. But heyy its better than tasting like bittermelon.

Beef and Mushroom 39ers

This is like beef tapa with the excess button mushrooms and sauted garlic bits. Yum!

Former officemates celebrated a postbirthday for Lei. We met up at Greenbelt and she decided we eat at Big Buddha. I've been here before more than a year ago to celebrate Red's birthday. My favorite here is definitely the Yangchao fried rice hahah.

Price range is around 200-400.
