We love PBCo.



I'm not so much of a peanut butter junkie. But when the craving hits ( which quite seldom ), I entertain.



 So it's condonable if it's only now that I give spotlight to PBCo ( Peanut Butter Co.)



It was not even a pb craving, just a no fuss hunger. You know how crowded Mall of Asia, on a weekend, right? It's hard to find a space to eat especially on meal hours. Right then, I spotted the white empty tables of PBCo. See mirror reflection (#photo), we were the only costumers. I was the one in the counter, daughters seated already. Unlike many whose attraction to a restaurant is define by the long q, mine is the opposite. Especially when already mad hungry.



I was snooping around the menu and was surprised to find interesting  peanut butter concoctions.



When you say peanut butter, you think right away of different sandwiches with pb spread, #a no- brainer.



So a blackforest pb sandwich, which I ordered half was not really something new. I'm sure you do pb sandwich at home with different jams or fresh fruits. This one was like that. It was peanut butter with a bit of cherry I guess.



We were excited much to taste the PB Burger thu'. My younger daughter who is a certified ( the mom certified, ok) burger junkie ofcourse had this. I took a bite and right at once, I knew I loved it. And I don't love burger per se. But this one, I like a lot. Yes, the peanut butter helps, but the meat I think is the bomb. It was so filling thu', it was the first time younger daughter let me helped her finish her burger.







And then my older daughter, the " chicken-all-the-time" girl, got a plate of PB chicken wings/buffalo wings. The wings were also drizzled with peanut butter. She let me tasted a bit and   omg_ it was damn good too!  Daughter uttered why she wasted so much time chewing on BonChon , when all the while PBCo got the wings she preferred. haha.






I swear, even the side dish potatoes were damn ass good!



We so enjoyed the food there, we bought some small bottles of peanut butter to go. To sample at home. Only P50 per mini bottle. We got white, dark, curry and pesto. By this time all wiped out. haha.

Good Old Muffins @ Real Coffee

Hookay.. everyone  who have been to Boracay many times or even just once must have had tried breakfasting at Real Coffee a lot of times or just once. But I bet there are still also like me who've been there at Boracay quite a lot of times but never been to Real Coffee.



Hookay.. I missed it on my past Boracay, even the time I stayed at Astoria which is so close to it. Hence, I had promised myself to not miss it the next time, anymore.



And then I was this close of missing it again during my most recent Boracay (1st week of this month), if not only I coincidentally stayed for a night in a room which stairs landed right at the entrance of Real Coffee!



So since it was technically just right down at " the next door" to where I stayed, I kept up with my own pace. I saw it quite full and busy after 7am & onward ,so I knew when to come.



I came at exactly 7am..





When the shop had just opened and I was the first costumer..



.. and whatelse do you think I would order? Nothing else but the Real Coffee's flagship_ the calamansi muffin! duh?! The verdict? I confirm every little yummy word written about it allover the net. It was what it is. It was very filling too if I may add. A muffin was enough to start one loaded beach day.



In a little while, my younger daughter woke-up and found me downstairs, @ Real Coffee. It was so just there downstairs, it seemed like it's a part of the place we stayed-in. She had a banana muffin and liked it  a lot.



My older daughter couldn't come down so we just bought her a pancake. She said it was good. I saw it being prepared with fresh low ( I think..)- fat milk. That was good enough for me.



Along with the pancake take-out, we bought other muffins to try. I particularly like "the ultimate muffin", the dark brown muffin in the picture. I guess, it's a house specialty cos it's the most pricey among all the muffins and got everything in it. But the calamansi muffin put Real Coffee in the map.




I love each one of them, I had  them all in a box to bring home to Manila.

Halowich

Apart from fruit shakes and milk teas, little sundaes  from Halowich at D'Mall in Boracay , were our favorite thirst quenchers.





While most tables there ordered big bowls of  halohalo and icecream, we chose to have these little cups. We didn't have time to enjoy those pretty giant ice cream to share as we were always running after our shuttle service back to our hotel. Our shuttle's drop & pick-up point was at the road entrance of D'mall and we usually ended our day at long beach there. With a sundae each.



Halowich, I heard rooted from the combi words of halohalo and sandwich. I don't know about their sandwiches, but their sundaes were good. It's hard to miss this snack house at D'Mall with its loud colors. The exterior with its food display is such an eye candy.

Sharetea @ Boracay

I couldn't be happier to have been able to bring my girls in Boracay two weeks ago and to have been able to steal a summery weather in November. It was hot and perfect. *more of this latest Boracay @ my other blog* 



Two "must haves" when in Boracay : sunblock with the highest spf # and liquid for hydration!! Fruit shakes  in every corner but daughters had made a pass on them and kept on searching.. for what? For milk tea!!! Their latest drink craze, especially the younger daughter.



Right on cue_ that day, Sharetea was on its opening day in D'Mall. Coincidence or what? And this was one brand they hadn't tried yet in Manila. And it was on buy1take1 promo! How perfect was that!..











... for them and for my wallet. But I don't like tea, much more milk tea!



So daughters got me this lychee yogurt shake which was very me.



We ended up with 4 _ ( L-R ) rocksalt & cheese w cocoa, wintermelon tea, bubble milk tea and lychee yogurt shake. It was buy1take1, remember. So we paid for two only.


Younger daughter was the happiest. She made it her official drink while in Boracay. haha.
