COCO’S Passion Fruit Tea Burst. What’s best here is its Cheesecake and Pearl Milk Tea, which has an abundance of cream in the milk tea, swirling it in so there’s just as much cheese as there is milk tea.
I also love how concentrated the tea flavor is in their cup — all the toasty, roasted notes of tea are present and never overpowered by sweetness.
Its pearls, however, are disastrous, so if those are what you look forward to in a drink, this place is not for you.
Jollibee has announced that it is bringing in Panda Express to Manila. What other food franchises are likely to head over soon?
Today is the last day of the much-lauded Negros Fair. Head over to Glorietta to support local entrepreneurs and stay for lunch. Don’t miss out on Enting’s famous kinilaw; the shrimp one, in particular, is delicious.
