Brownies Unlimited

coffee shake and sambos from Brownies Unlimited

Despite all the inconveniences I experienced last December, it's hard not to survive the human traffic during a holiday rush especially when there are a number of good stores out there that simply comforts our tired shopaholic selves. I found Brownies Unlimited to be truly helpful. Their store located near the boundary of SM Makati and Glorietta was a good spot to take a rest and enjoy a good merienda break just like what I did together with my bakasyunista aunt Bing. 

Will you buy a sweet corn for P50 a piece?

Dole's Sweet Corn Cobbler

Now here's something I discovered during my one week stay at our province in Mindanao. During the wake of my lola, (the reason why I wasn't able to attend as one of Boy Kuripot's winner for the Sweer Surrender Expo) my aunt, an employee of Dole Philippines, knowing how addicted I am to corns or "mais" handed me down a plate full of yummy vibrant yellow mais! She said further that they all came from Dole Farm somewhere in South Cotabato, I think. Dole's Sweet Corn Cobbler's vacuum packed, heatable and ready to eat  is currently exported outside Philippines. It looks like they don't massively market this product locally since obviously, Filipinos will still buy something fresh and cheap. This corn alone sells for P50!

But hey, this corn is deliciously sweet!

Recipe: Fried Bananas

Here's an easy to do merienda treat popular to Filipinos plus it's healthy too! This recipe is so damn easy, it wouldn't take 10 minutes to prepare and all you need frankly is a  cluster of bananas called saba. Peel and cut them in half and simply fry these guys! This easy to de recipe is ideal for health conscious buffs craving for a delicious healthy snack food :)
