Bo's Coffee's New Offerings

Bo’s Coffee recently launched its own version of the Super Moist Chocolate Cake which is there 1st new offering! This old-time everybody’s favourite sweet delight is something one can't just resist, especially if paired with coffee at Bo's. Called the Super Moist Chocolate Cake, the concoction is a feast for one’s senses. This brown heaven has chocolate dripping deliciously from its core with every bit that you take and put in your mouth.

Some would say that the history of the chocolate cake goes back to 1764, when Dr. James Baker discovered how to make chocolate by grinding cocoa beans between two massive millstones. The resulting chocolate liquid syrup was poured in molds to make “cakes” of chocolate. Since that time, chocolate cakes have gone through several versions from the simplest home-baked chocolate cakes to those infused with fruits and champagne.

Offering #2: Cookie for the gods: a twist to a classic

Food for the gods is a delicious mix of butter, sugar, eggs, and nuts. It is up there with Fruitcake as a Christmas gift staple. And why not? You can never go wrong with a perfectly baked Food for the gods.

However, as is tradition at Bo’s Coffee, they are taking this Filipino classic one step further. In comes Cookie for the gods. Taking the same ingredients that make Food for the gods the goodness we all love to eat, Bo’s Coffee put a twist by making cookie versions.

Cookie for the gods is a crunchy gem of a cookie that teases you to have more than one every time. Available at Bo’s Coffee in Manila and Cebu, this sweet-smelling delight will never disappoint.

Bo’s Coffee’s Super Moist Chocolate Cake and the Cookie for the Gods are already available in Manila and Cebu.

Tentay Patis arrives in Cebu

Tentay Food Sauces Inc. remains committed to the same values that guided its founder — premium quality products at the best possible prices. With that, they chose to expand in Cebu in search of new markets and new opportunities.

In 1949, Ruperta D. Javier, an enterprising housewife concocted a fish sauce (patis) and fish paste (bagoong) from the fish hauls in the part of Navotas. Aware of the delicious taste of her sauces and proud of it, she simply named both “Tentay” which was how she was popularly called. Half a century later, her nickname became a byword for sauces and the products that carry her name has then increased from just 2, to capture the tastebuds of millions of people around the world – flavoring dishes in 11 countries spanning 4 continents.

The company’s strict quality control standards has enabled it to successfully penetrate other countries that exercise strict food importation, analysis and testing particularly on food additives and preservatives. Tentay Food Sauces Inc’s 1996 Golden Shell Award for Marketing Excellence is proof of the company’s continuous commitment to the same high-standards in food quality control set by its founder.

New Offering from Red Ribbon

I got chance to get a taste test on the New Offering from Red Ribbon Cebu which were the Crispy Chicken, Chocolate Fudge Cake and Black Forest Cake.

We tried the 1st course which was the Crispy Fried Chicken which was already chopped without any bones; marinated, battered and coated in seasoned flour are fried till it becomes extra crispy. And an add-on which makes this meal stand out in looks and taste, due to the sauce other than the usual Ketchup, gravy, mang tomas or toyo-suka combination.

Next was Red Ribbon’s Chocolate Fudge Cake which is sure to make any day delightful. Anything that's chocolate is truly to die for! Random Suggestion: Give in to a slice or two with a cup of brew, freshly steeped tea, or warm glass of milk.

The 3rd offering was described as the “taste of cherry orchard in high summer - with whipped cream”, the German dessert known as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, is embraced by the rest of the world in its more recognizable name: Black Forest Cake.

Quick History:
When Red Ribbon first opened its doors in 1978 in Tomas Morato, Quezon City, Red Ribbon’s Black Forest Cake is one of the first cakes that debuted on its shelves.

How much for the New Offering from Red Ribbon Cebu's New and Improved Treats?

• Crispy Chicken is available with a slice of Red Ribbon cake and drink for only Php148.00 or ala carte for just Php90.00.

This year, the planner is awesome. It comes with 3 different covers, with different feels (literally). WISH, the title of the card/planner gives back to SparkHope in enriching children's lives, one barangay at a time.

"More than 3,000 wishes of a brighter future granted with your planner. Thank you for helping to enrich children's lives one planner at a time."
