McDonald's McCafe's Frozen Strawberry Lemonade

While browsing the web for information on the Civil Engineering board exams, I came across the photo on the left on a National newspaper's website. I've heard of the McCafe, but I still haven't tasted it yet. I did hear some feedback about it from one of our seniors at work and when he found out how muchit costed, he said that he'd rather spend that much at Starbucks.

Apparently, a McCafe drink costs about 100 pesos. A Starbucks Frappuccino costs at least 155 pesos for the tall size, and a Bo's Coffee blended Frappuccino only costs about 60 pesos.

So if you ask me, I think I'd rather go to a local Bo's Coffee outlet and have a brownie with my frap for less than a hundred pesos. But if there's someone out there willing to give me a Frozen Strawberry Lemonade, I'd be more than willing to taste it for you and write a review about it.

I still wonder if they put whipped cream in it and if the whipped cream is even worth the extra pounds.

Bo's Primo Chocolate Chips and White Chocolate Glazed Doughnut

On a rainy day after the seminar at Pag-IBIG FUND, I was feeling a little down and decided to take a stroll at the nearest mall. To take shelter from the pit-pattering of the rain, I ran into Fully Booked and scanned the latest magazine collection on display.

Thinking about the current financial crisis that I am going through, I went upstairs to look for ideas for this blog. I was hoping that I'd save up any remaining peso I had in my pocket, but my loneliness and longing for a blended cup of coffee got the best of me.

The bookstore had a coffee shop situated in the middle of it, which is perfect for people who just want to sit down and relax.

I got myself a Primo Chocolate Chips blended coffee for PhP125.00 and a White Chocolate Glazed Doughnut for PhP60.00. The doughnut's size was sort of ridiculous for me, but it would be perfect if you shared it with someone.

The guy on the counter offered extra whipped cream, but being mindful of the pouch that's starting to form in my midsection. I politely declined.

Another reason would be because I thought the cream tasted too greasy and gave me the impression that it tasted like cake icing. I had fun chewing on some chocolate bits and pieces but didn't like the whipped cream too much.

About the doughnut, when I first bit into it, I could taste the creaminess of the cheese cream used to create the glaze on it. On first sight, it's as if it's calling out to you just begging to be bitten. It had a slight sweetness to it, but the cream-cheese flavor prevailed.

Maybe I should try making my own doughnuts soon. :)

Perri Todd's: All-American Grilled Burger

While in Iloilo, my group and I went on a tour of our own instead of going along with the Iloilo bloggers. We were too comfortable in bed and just felt like staying in instead of waking up early to see the sights. Plus, we were on a tight budget so we couldn't afford the tour even if it was super cheap already.

Perri Todd's is just one of the places that we went to. The place was as Americanized as they can get. It reminded me of Pop Tate's minus the booths. In case you didn't know, Pop Tate's is the fictional cafe that The Archies hung out at.

We tried out their Premium Burger with Cheesy Mushroom Dressing and a tower of two and a half liters of Iced Tea.
