Chewy Goodness

Working in SM Megamall gives me an opportunity to scout around and try new things. One of the snack places we fell in love with is Chewy Junior, located at the Lower Ground Floor of SM Megamall Building A:

Their "hero" food item is their chewy cream puffs:

They also offer delicious thin-crust pizzas and fruit slushies that are must-tries as well

I love their clean white-walled interiors

Plus, the fact that you can see their "kitchen"

And that everything is made and baked in front of you

For their cream puffs, you can opt to "make your own"

But we wanted to try their concoctions, so we had Chocolate Almond and Chocnut, which were both a bit messy to eat—but fun to eat, mind you :)

I think the fact that it's chewy on the outside, the "shell" keeps the cream and everything sweet intact and a bit less messy to munch on :)

Price range:

cream puffs and pizzas go from P45-P55. Not bad and quite filling, I say!

What is Deal Dozen?

For those who don't know what DealDozen is, here's a short feature I wrote on them last June for Manila Bulletin:


The Dealers
There's a new deal site in town, but it’s not your usual coupon website. The brainchild of a group of very talented professionals, each one of them screens their offerings based on their lifestyle and personal tastes. This means, only the best and most-wanted “bids” are “for sale” at DealDozen.com, such as food, travel and wellness escapades.


Barely two months old, DealDozen.com has already “sold” great deals–Alta Vista de Boracay and Eskaya packages to gadgets from Samsung, and even a P350k off deal for a brand new 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse. What also sets them apart from other plain deal sites is that it’s the only deal site that integrates one’s Facebook accounts on their deals, enabling updates on one’s Facebook wall on every deal made. Visits to DealDozen.com are also more engaging as they offer reviews and blog posts by well-known personalities and bloggers. This way, one is given a more personal guide, with tips on how to enjoy the most out of their purchased deals.


To celebrate its launch, DealDozen.com threw a party at Member’s Only at The Fort Strip, hosted by Magic 89.9’s DJ Boom. The highlight of the night was a raffle for a package to Alta Vista de Boracay for 3 days and 2 nights, which was given to three lucky winners. Check out who made it to the night’s most stylish cut:

Actress Andi Eigenmann proves that you can be fully clothe and sexy at the same time. She easily pulls this off with hot red lips.

  

Deal Dozen’s Bianca Crisologo sports the color-blocking trend with feminine shades of fuchsia and orange.

Designer Stacy Rodriguez shows off her legs with a front mini hemline. She toughens up the neon pink dress with a blazer and a pair of booties.

Philippine Tatler’s Nina Estacio and JL Ladrido are all draped up in complementary hues of blue and pink.

Makeup guru Jigs Mayuga goes for some French flavor in a double-breasted suit and folded-up trousers.  He accessorizes with a bandana/handkerchief wrapped around his neck.

School Pride

I'm not big on hand sanitizers, but these will make me use one ;) 

Got these babies from Watsons Marketing girl Denise Congco earlier today...we had lunch together, along with friends from the media and beauty blogger friends :)

I got two: one for myself (Ateneo) and one for the hubby (La Salle) :)
I love the school and logo prints on the side.  I haven't had the chance to try the other scents, but I sure do love the green one---vanilla and lime.

Get yourself one too :P) At P60 each, eight schools are represented with four variants to choose from: nectarine orange, candied apples, vanilla and lime, and oceana fresh.  Available at all of the Beauty Section of SM Department Stores and Watsons.
