J.Co SM East Ortigas Now Open

J.Co recently launched it’s newest branch at SM East Ortigas and we couldn’t be more happier. Finally, our favorite “not-too-sweet” donuts are closer to home! The J.Co SM East Ortigas branch is their 44th concept store and I just love its simplistic urban interior. I can just imagine spending quiet afternoons here with a good book, an Alcapone, and a hot steaming mug of JCoccino.

Coinciding with the opening of the new branch is the launch of the J.Coffee Affogato Series. Traditionally taken as a mildly cold beverage or eaten as an “espresso soup,” the J.Coffee experts of J.Co have innovatively created three different cold variants that will surely be a hit in this summer heat.

Iced Cafe Avocado Affogato

The rich and creamy flavors in the Avocado Affogato blend just as well as they r...

Marinduque’s Pride: Arrowroot Cookies

Right in the heart of the Philippines is the small island province of Marinduque. The province is still part of Luzon and is included in Region IV-B (MIMAROPA). The place is just paradise with its untouched virgin beaches and more.

Marinduque is approximately six to seven hours from Manila – a three- to four-hour bus ride and another three hours in a ship (or commonly known as ro-ro). There used to be flights going to the province but due to the small numbers opting for plane rides, the flights were already cancelled.

Every year, tourists and religious pilgrims flock the place during the Holy Week because of the Moriones Festival. It’s a weeklong celebration where men, women and even kids roam city dressed up as Roman centurions...

The Taste Of Sweetness

When you’re on vacation or spending time with the family in town, you might crave a sweet treat. There is one item that is healthy for everyone, and it comes in a variety of flavors. Many ice cream stores offer no sugar added yogurt, and there are several toppings and ways to eat the yogurt that make the treat delicious for all ages.

One of the benefits of the yogurt is that it doesn’t have the high sugar content that ice cream has, which is ideal for those who are diabetics or those who are trying to watch what they eat in order to lose weight. You can get flavors that are the same as ice cream, such as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. It’s sometimes easier to get yogurt flavors with fruit in them as the fruit is brought out instead of the sweetness from the sugar.
