Kainin Mo!





I promised myself that I would update this food blog with my “daily eats” but we all know that I have failed miserably.   So let me rephrase that statement into:  I will try as much as I can to update this blog often.

Recently, I was one of the very first few people in Asia to try something that’s deliciously different!  “Are You Sweet or Savory?” was the teaser for the new line of products launched by Krispy Kreme. When I received an invite to this launch, I figured that it has something to do with new “sweet” products  ad products which are not sweet.

I was not mistaken. Krispy Kreme now offers Kruffins and Pull Aparts - the newest addition to their already almost-perfect donuts.  The Kruffins are American-style handmade muffin-with-a-hole filled with rich and delicious fruits, nuts or chocolate with varieties which include Double Chocolate, Apple Streusel, Blueberry and Classic Kruffin.  The Pull Aparts, on the other hand, are the North Carolina original hand-rolled balls of dough, pulled apart and laid to form a doughnut like sweet bread, filled with sweet or savory varities such as Cheese, Bacon & Cheese, Sausage & Cheese and Cinammon.

I was barely awake during the launch since I normally would still be in bed at that time, so my taste buds were still not in the mood to be busy.  And that was the reason why I have only tried the Cheese Pull Apart.  I actually liked it!  My only concern with the whole range of products is the way the paper wrap sticks too much to the food item.  One word to describe these new Krispy Kreme treats: Awesome!

Krispy Kreme Baked Creations (Kuffins and Pull Aparts) are now available in stores.

Krispy Kreme branches: Bonifacio High Street, Greenhills, Ayala Ave., Greenhills Shopping Center Drive-Thru, SM Mall of Asia, Trinoma Cinema Level, SM Megamall, SM Mall of Asia Drive-Thru, Robinsons Galleria, Gateway Mall, Glorietta 4, SM Cty Annex (North EDSA), Annex 2 SM Fairview, Eastwood, Marquee Mall Pampanga, SM San Lazaro and SM Manila (Soon to open).  You may also call 0917-8053000 and (02) 633-2313 or log-on to http://krispykreme.com.ph for more details.

Simple + Good Food at Canteen @ Trilogy

It’s Sunday morning and you don’t have anything to do.  You wake up at 9:00 AM and wonder where you’re going or what you’re going to be doing.  It’s a bit too late to eat breakfast, but too early to have lunch.  You’re sick of the usual fast food breakfast staples and you don’t have the energy to cook something up. You’re also not in the mood to see too many people around you.  All you want is a nice and quiet brunch. Where do you go?

If you want simple but good (actually, great!) food, head on over to Canteen at Trilogy.  My friend Ish and I recently had Brunch at Canteen and boy did we love it there.  Canteen is located inside Trilogy, a lifestyle boutique.  The place is quaint and quiet and is  good venue to reflect on your life, choz.  I haven’t tried all of their food but here;s what Ish and I ordered:

Mad Madam Mim (Grilled double ham + cheese sandwich + fried egg + cheese sauce) - P250.00

Kesong Puti Panini + tomato + basil + olive oil - P180.00

If you’re coffee freak like me, then you won’t be disappointed.  Canteen serves Segafredo coffee.

Canteen at Trilogy is located at 110 Rada St., Legazpi Village, Makati City. They serve lunch, merienda, dinner and weekend brunch. You may get in touch with them through: (02) 338-2891 or through their website at http://simplegoodfood.wordpress.com/ or Twitter: http://twitter.com/Canteen_Trilogy

When I’m too busy working on a project at work, I rarely get up and away from my desk to do anything.  Sometimes, I even postpone trips to the bathroom just so I would not lose my momentum.  It is during busy times when I and some of my colleagues would go downstairs to Mini-Stop to stock up on snack items which will last us the whole shift.  Lunch, though, is not counted as we normally just buy from any of the fast food chains around the area then bring it back to our desks and eat it there while working.

Today’s snackbar:

  • Clover Chips (Chili and Chese) - leftover from yesterday
  • C2 Litro (Apple flavor)
  • Chocolate Crinkles (in Dunkin Donuts bag, because the small stall of Dunkin downstairs sells crinkles on the side)
  • Flat Tops
  • Nestle Chuckie
  • Pizza Bar (Hawaiian Flavor)
  • Fujiyama Seafood Snack
