In our family, cheesecakes are reserved only for ultra-special occasions. They are yummy, no doubt about that. But the price does eat a big chunk of our budget. In fact, we buy cheesecakes only by the slice. So imagine my delight when MetroDeal offered a whole 8″ Cheesecake, etc. cheesecake at 50% off. Instead of Php 995, the Mango Passion cheesecake I ordered only cost Php 495. Sweet!

For the whole month of July, Chef Joey Prats shares his expertise in baking desserts and pies in a series of baking demos using Tulip Chocolate and Crisco baking ingredients. I was invited to witness the first baking demo that was held last July 5, 2011 at Living Well, The Podium.

This is my new favorite, Hansel Premium Cheese Sandwich. I like it because I love cheese except Chiz Whiz. It’s better than junk food and it tastes like Combos!

Mami's Instagram shot while we were in KK, hehehe.

Mami bought this box of Hansel Premium Cheese Sandwich at 7-11 for 37 pesos. I think it’s not that expensive because there are many sandwiches in each box. I think it’s 15 to 20 pieces in each box. Aaaah, it’s so addicting because the cheese is not salty and the crackers taste so milky.

This is my last box. I hope Mami will pass by 7-11 again and buy us our Hansel Premium Cheese Sandwich stock for the week.
