Topic: Treat of the Week

Treat of the Week: Banana Hazelnut Crepe from Tokyo Café

Treat of the Week: Banana Hazelnut Crepe

The verdict: A delightfully sweet treat that brings together some of our favorite comfort foods: ice-cream, chocolate-hazelnut spread and chocolate — all spread over a nice yummy crepe and banana slices, and topped with whipped cream.

Treat of the Week: Oreo Puffs from Grillery

Oreo Puffs - Grillery

The verdict: A savory twist on a sweet treat. We eat our Oreo cookies in different ways — straight up, dunked in milk, crumbled in ice cream — but Grillery offers you this classic cookie dipped in batter, fried up and drizzled with chocolate syrup.

Treat of the Week: Crispy Suman at Latik from Romulo

Treat of the Week: Crispy Suman at Latik

The verdict: A twist on a familiar snack.

Treat of the Week: Marshmallow Mocha from Subspace Coffee House

Marshmallow Mocha from Subspace Coffeehouse

The verdict: It perks you up like a coffee yet is sweet enough to have as a nice treat when taking a break from the holiday shopping and traffic madness.

Treat of the Week: Lava Cake from Subspace Coffee House

Treat of the Week: Lava Cake from Subspace Coffeehouse

he verdict: Chocolatey and decadent. It’s so rich, it’s difficult for just one person to finish off, so share it with someone you like. The cake is heated up before a (cute) barista serves it to you, so the chocolate “lava” filling will be quite warm.

Treat of the Week: Lemon Meringue Cupcake from Frostings

Lemon Meringue Cupcake from Frostings

The verdict: Sweet and tart, great with coffee, and satisfying even when you factor in the inflated prices of cupcakes recently. Spend: P45.

Treat of the Week: Sabanana Chips from Villa Socorro Farm

Sabanana Chips

Sabanana Chips from Villa Socorro Farm are paper-thin banana chips with just the right amount of crunch. These chips are probably thethinnest  banana chips seen in the market today, but still with enough substance that makes biting down on them a satisfying noisy experience.

Treat of the Week: Toblerone Cheesecake from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

Toblerone Cheesecake at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

  The verdict: Lighter and more mousse-like than the usual cheesecake, which means this treat was inhaled in under five minutes. A good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it. Spend: P130. This treat was purchased (and consumed) at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Greenbelt, Makati City.

Treat of the Week: Paperpod Seedpaper

Paperpod-Seedpaper-204x300

How do you make sure that your handwritten letter lives on in your recipient’s heart? By writing your missives on Paperpod Seedpaper. This product by entrepreneur and Economics graduate Ethel Francisco features seeds embedded in the handmade paper sheets that your recipient can actually plant and grow after reading.   Once your addressee is done with your letter, she can moisten the paper with some water, then seal it inside a plastic bag for two to three days until the seeds sprout. When that day comes, she can then replant the seedlings in soil and remember how your words nourished a living thing.

Treat of the Week: Theo & Philo Artisan Chocolates

Theo & Philo Artisan Chocolates

The verdict: The green mango and salt (yes, green mango and salt!) flavor satisfies those crazy cravings for sweet, sour, and salty all at the same time. It’s confusing but richly rewarding, not that our words can adequately describe this. The point is that it’s quirky and odd, and also quite addictive.
