KFC has stopped serving baked goodies


KFC Araneta Center, shopwise branch has stopped serving egg tarts for quite some time now.  I think due to the fact of low demand, and price just does not match the market.

Egg tarts needs to be served hot, problem with this is when a customer orders it comes with a 15 minutes wait time.  Beats the purpose of KFC being a fast food store, if a customer has to wait 15 minutes for them to prepare and bake it.

So, yeah, that product was discontinued, also their baked macaroni products are gone.

KFC Philippines, now have Baked Goodies


First saw this egg tarts in KFC Hong Kong almost 5 years ago.  It just arrive in the Philippines lately.  KFC now have baked products, such as baked macaroni and this egg tart.

The egg tarts here are a little bit smaller than the one I tasted in Hong Kong.  Maybe, they made it so that the price is more affordable in the Philippine market.  The egg tart costs P29 (about $0.70 USD).

So, how was it?  It was delicious, the crust is like a croissant, light and fluffy.  The egg part was like egg pie, the crust was the major difference with the ordinary egg pie.  I suggest you never let this desert cool off, so you can taste it at its best.

I would buy it again, if I'm craving for it.  I was able to buy one in KFC Shopwise branch in the Araneta Center, Cubao, QC, during lunch time.  I'm not sure, if other branches have it already since their website (http://www.kfc.com.ph) does not seem to have it on their menu.

Chatime milk tea drinks available in the Philippines

Grass Jelly with Fresh Milk
Last year (2011), I saw some stores open up and offering Milk Teas.  I pay no attention to them since, what's the difference on me making my own tea at home?  That is until a store opened near my work place, and I was given a free sample of their product by my girlfriend.  I was still not convinced that this is anything I would like.  But I had a hint that I liked the Jelly on the drink.  I think, it was milk tea with grass jelly.

So a week passed, we were walking and we saw the store packed with people in line to get their orders.  This is not only at the store near my work place, this is also true on their other branches.  People are lined up to order their milk tea at Chatime.  I was intrigued why this franchise is so popular, so I went to try something that I saw in their menu, which I was familiar with.  I used to eat Grass Jelly from a can when I was a kid, so this would probably be something I will like to drink.  To my surprise, when they served me the drink, the whole large plastic cup was full of Grass Jelly with enough fresh milk in between.

On my first sip, the taste was so good, I was hooked to Chatime from then on.  They seem to make their own grass jelly, since it's much softer and sweet than the ones I get from cans.  In fact, I recalled why I never bothered to eat grass jelly from cans anymore.

So, when you see Chatime in the mall you are in, don't hesitate to try something from there menu, of course, you have to like milk tea in the first place.  I myself don't like milk tea that much, so I got the Grass Jelly with fresh milk.

I think their prices, currently are:
  • Medium size P85
  • Large size P95
These prices are for the Grass Jelly with fresh milk.  Other items probably cost more or less, but are near the same price range.  Branches I know that are open are Gateway Mall & Robinson's Galleria.

Welcome to Food Philippines

Welcome, readers, I made this blog to help people know where there are good eats.  I often find myself wondering if there are any good restaurants or food stalls to visit here in the Philippines.  Hopefully with this blog I can help you save some money, by letting you know the establishments that have good food and service.

I will try to update often on places I have eaten and give my opinion on their food, service, ambiance. 

Also, from time to time, I will feature food and drinks available in the Philippine market.  I will inform you, on where it is available and how it is.
