Philippines Trip : Food adventures

Food is so cheap in the Philippines and affordable yet delicious food places are so easy to find. My favorite are dessert cafes and there are so many there yet I have a hard time finding a good one here in the U.S. Most of the ones I go to are in D.C. and New York, which are kind of a hassle to drive to even if they aren't that far. The Philippines is like my food haven. Oh yum...

 I overstuffed myself with this burger at the airport right before my flight. I was so hungry that I let my stomach make the impulse decision. I think it was like 1/3 lbs? But it didn't look that big in the picture! It was so good though.

 These donuts are from a shop called J. Co which is apparently pretty popular. I always see it packed with people. My favorite was their blueberry donut ( the one on the bottom right). It was topped with cheese and oh my gosh it was just so good.

 Just a quick lunch at Yoshinoya in Glorietta.

 Man, this ramen place is so good. Definitely recommending it. I got their miso ramen and it's my favorite. Located by Alabang Town Center. You should go. 

Philippines locked frappuccino, mocha with white chocolate pudding. Also available in green tea with white chocolate pudding. I wish we had this here in the U.S. 

 My favorite place to get taro boba. Been going to this since I was little, which is surprising since I'm old now so they have been around for forever.

 Cronut or croughnut? Well whatever it is, it's delicious.

 Brownies!

 My favorite cereal, Koko Krunch. Seriously, I brought back four large boxes of it because I love it so much.

 Salmon Linguini at Amici's in Ayala Triangle.

 Herb crusted fish fillet at Conti's in Serendra.

 Banana Nutella Crepe from Crazy Crepes at the food court of SM Aura.

 Bannoffee cake from Banappe at Ayala Triangle. I also got a delicious sandwich but I didn't take a picture because I was starving and was too eager to eat.

 Traditional hot chocolate at Mary Grace in Alabang Town Center.

 Bananalicious cake at Conti's.

 Ramen from Ramen Bar in Eastwood. Not as good as Yushoken.

 Siomai! These are much bigger than they look.

 More crepes! This was my favorite. It had huge slices of banana with a slice of cake and vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. This was some place at the top floor of the Megamall.

 "Nothing But Desserts" in Iloilo, I think more specifically Manduriao. It's right across of the Smallville 21 hotel. Top picture is chocolate mousse with mallows and nuts then two macarons in tiramisu and strawberry. The next night, got their Italian Tiramisu (it was gross, don't order it) and m&m cakepop.

 My free breakfast at Smallville 21. It came with hot chocolate too. Got chicken tocino on the first day but it was a little too fatty for me so I got tapa the second day and I liked it so much better.

Coffee break which is also across from Smallville 21 hotel. Triple temptaion, made up of a layer of white chocolate pudding, dark chocolate pudding, then a crunchy bottom layer of what may be cookie. Then topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips. 

A Hello Kitty Tiramisu from the Hello Kitty Cafe at Incheon airport, my last stop before coming back to the United States. Sad that my vacation is over, slightly missing the Philippines, but also happy to be back in the U.S. I can't quite say which one is home because in my mind, they are still both "home".
