The Italian Flag: My Favorite Shaved Ice Flavor


      


      There is a Hawaiian Shaved Ice Stall located on the third floor of Sm City Cebu, right in front of Worlds of Fun.  It’s Cherry’s Hawaiian Shaved Ice. I used to buy from Aloha but they closed down so I decided to try this and it’s great! I especially like the branch in SM because they have bigger servings than the one in Parkmall(there’s another branch, just so you know). A regular costs 55 php and a huge is 75 php.. and let me tell you, when they say huge it’s HUGE.
                

      My favourite flavors to put on shaved ice is STRAWBERRY, GREEN APPLE AND DAIQUIRI(supposedly alcoholic but since it’s flavouring it’s lime-ish). Together, they make up the Italian Flag or some weird 60’s wig.
                
     You can choose from a wide range of flavors to mix and match with.
              
     Don’t  get me started on their staff’s apron. It’s a maong apron with embroidered words “ WE SHAVE ICE” HAHA.

It's So Good, It's Sinful: A Maitre Chocolatier Review

    
          The Maitre Chocolatier Boutique and Cafe is located in the ground floor of  the Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu(near the grassy part). It's where you find practically everything they serve comes with chocolate, be it an Entree, Antipasti, or Main Dish.

         Me and my friends had a wonderful lunch filled with chocolate goodness. We shared a Chocolate Fondue which was served with several fruits(green apple, strawberry, melon, cantaloupe), Campfire Marshmallows and ground peanut. It cost around 290+ php and was worth every cent. It was thick, rich and absolutely to die for.



      

The Fondue was so yummy I just spread it on a plate and ate the thing. HAHA.. kidding





Since we were on lunch, me and friend Steven ordered a Chocolate Hungarian Sausage which was served with slices of toasted bread and Shauna had water(Mang Inasal Hangover). Cost us 128 php each and I know what you might be thinking, "CHOCOLATE AND SAUSAGE?!?"(my mom's reaction too) contrary to that, it was surprisingly good. we even dipped it in the fondue and it still tasted great!

     After our Chocolate fiesta, we paid the bill and on the way out we saw that they were selling different types of chocolate and chocolate products. They have Chocolate Bouquets where the flowers are made of Ferrero Rocher, perfect Gift for the Chocolate lover.

      


We left satiated and vowed to never eat chocolate again(a lie, obviously). HAHA
