Red Mango-licious

Indeed, you can taste the yogurt’s tartiness and this is exactly the taste of Cold Spoon’s frozen yogurt we tasted in Pampanga, Philippines. … It is packed with live and active cultures and they have healthy options in terms of toppings — Mandarin Orange packed with Vitamin C and they don’t serve Oreo cookies.

Tootsie’s Tagaytay

I’m sure you must have seen Tootsie’s banners along the Tagaytay ridge inviting you to try them during their dry run. … I was happy to see an alternative Filipino restaurant other than Viewsite, Josephine’s, Leslie’s or the grill restaurants along the ridge.
… As Rache said in her blog post, Tootsie’s Patootsie , we’ll give it a try after a few more months.
