The Sweet Treats Journal-Part 1!

SANFO TREATS

I ultimately love strolling at the mall! And every time I pass by Glorietta, I just can’t help but stare at these coated apples at Sanfo! One day , I decided to try it out. The coated apples whether with caramel, chocolates and nuts costs from P60-85. But one thing stopped me from buying the apple: the fear that it might be rotten since I don’t know how long has the apple been in their display. So one piece of advice I guess it would be best to ask the sales lady to cut the apple to double check whether its rotten or not.

And since I changed my mind, I bought the frosted banana (php 35) instead. Rot-proof though since it is refrigerated. The coating was great but since it’s fresh from the fridge, the banana seemed too cold. But otherwise tasted sweet and good still.

RAZON'S

I’ve tasted so many halo-halo in the entire 24 years of my life-from both fast foods like chowking, mall food courts, even the normal halo-halo sold in small stores in barangay or the streets but halo-halo never tasted this good until I tried-Razon’s! So what’s the difference? The ingredients are not as grand as the usual halo-halo but just a simple mix of saging na saba, shredded macapuno and leche plan with dayap rind. But as you stir it, each of the ingredients plus the milk and shaved ice blend into a sweet taste so unique. What makes it perfect is that it turns out to be very smooth, even and sleek! Razon’s halo-halo is definitely the best! You’d be strucked by it’s simplicity but it would leave you with its suave mark! Absolutely excellent! Plus it costs P60. Not bad for a great tasting halo-halo!

Aside from their fantastic halo-halo, you could also try their merienda meals like pancit luglug , dinuguan and other Filipino dishes. Razon’s originated from Guagua Pampanga now you could check out razon’s in Greenbelt, Makati Ave, Trinoma and MOA!

CEREALICIOUS

When I heard of this place, I was so amused that I tagged along my hubby/ pig-out buddy from Makati to try Cerealicious at their SM the Block branch. As we reached the place the 1st time, I found it cute-very childlike and colorful! The interiors are more of the American style, and the inside seems sunny and bright! Although the place is quite small and always jam packed, it would never fail to give you the same coziness and relaxing ambiance that coffee havens bring.

And the menu:
There are 14 varieties of garden cereals, 5 premium cereals, 24 different toppings, 17 special toppings to choose from! If these drive you crazy, you could choose from 20 cereal blockbusters whose names were derived from famous movies! (Which actually adds cuteness to their store) just a few sample names:
Jumango (from Jumanji)
Charlie and the Choc-nut Factory (from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
Nutting Hill ( from Notting Hill)
Mona Kissa Smile ( from Mona Lissa Smile)
Cashew Blanca ( from Casa Blanca)
Oreo Afraid of the dark (Are you afraid of the dark)
Erin Broko Peach (Erin Brokovich)

Talk about size, they have Trailer Bowls (medium) and the Blockbuster Bowls ( large).
My hubby decided to order Charlie and the Choc-nut factory (Milo balls, banana, choc-nut) while for a twist I ordered Jumango ( corn flakes, mango, honey crumble). It was so yummy that we finished the entire blockbuster bowls! Absolutely yummy plus its really something healthy!
One thing I noticed though is that the milk they place is not your usual kind of milk- It’s a special blend that makes sure that your cereal does not get soggy right away.

I was truly amazed by the concept! From the success story they say it started out as a thesis by a couple of UST Students and after the success of their 1st branch in UST, they opened more branches! Concept was truly original and fun!
Cerealicious is truly addicting! It’s healthy and fantastic! I’d definitely return and try to create my own mix concoction next time!
