Trying BTIC's Yogurt Popsicle


We went out today to Robinson’s Lemery to buy grocery supply for the next days and I’ve been eyeing this Better Than Ice Cream (BTIC) stall outside the supermarket every time we went here. So I went out of the supermarket area and check the flavors the BTIC offered while my folks and sister are still quite busy adding more goods in our cart while waiting for our turn at the cashier.



Once there, I saw this ad for the yogurt popsicle and opted to try it then for a quick fix before going back later for the other treats. I ask the lady what are the flavors they got that time – mango, banana and avocado. I choose avocado for something different since we often had mango and banana at home.  





Guess, I like it that much that I went for another stick after we paid for the groceries. Yes it is made yogurt but it doesn’t have the sour taste compared to the one I tried at Salcedo Saturday Market before. Also the taste of the avocado did not overwhelm the taste of the yogurt. There’s quite a balance between two combined.





Next time, I’ll try the other flavor plus bits of the frozen yogurt.

Sweet Treat for Christmas



Browsing Instragram account selling product is quite addicting and tempting. And with Christimas coming, I am trying to look for quite unique thing that can be given as gift to my family. Sadly, I end up buying quite a lot of chocolates for my kiddo and a part for me and my sister instead of what I really intended to check.

After so much thought, I finalize the list of chocolates my kiddo might want to eat and the sea salted flavored chocolate I wanted. The order was made via Chocoholic Galore in Instagram (IG ID:chocoholic_galore) which I seen first from a promo ad run by another shop I followed.

Here’s the list of chocolates I ordered:
1. Dove Sea Salt Caramel
2.  Cadburry Marvellous Creations Orange Lolly
3.  Cadburry Marvellous Creation Jelly and Crunchy Bits
4. Cadburry Dairy Milk Toffee
5. Cadburry Dairy Milk Orange
6. Hersheys Nuggets Toffee

My Sweet Treat for Christmas

The owner of the shop is friendly and quick to send responses via Viber. Also details of the chocolate inquired were provided upon confirmation of the order like sizes available and price of each size. Another good thing is there many options for the mode of payment so it will easy to pay for the goods ordered. For the shipping, the fee is PHP60 with no limit in the ordered chocolates which is cheap.

I opted to have the items paid via BPI and shipped to my workplace but she offered to just meet her husband (who happens to work near me) to save time and shipping. And here's the bag of goodies!  Some of the chocolates were even wrapped in cute Christmas greetings to save wrapping! I love the goods and cannot wait to make order another set of sweets from her.
