Chewy Junior Cream Puff

CHEWY JUNIOR is now in Greenbelt 3, Makati!! :-)

For those who are not familiar with Chewy Junior, it originated in Singapore (That's what I know).  I fell in love with this cream puff snack when I visited my sister in Singapore in 2009. There is a stall at the MRT near her place. You can smell the aroma of their baking and I always see people buying considering its S$1.00 per piece.  I initially tried 1 piece but I have to come back and buy more.  I would buy them in 3s, bring it home and eat 1 piece everyday. 

What makes this cream puff unique  among other cream puff I tried in my life is its crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside.  Then the bread is chewy inside and for me the cream filling is not that sweet compared to how it looks like.  I usually eat 2 pieces in one-sitting but worried of the calories it will give me if I eat more than 2  :-)  Yummy!

Prices: Php45.00 each. You can also buy in boxes. Box of 3s - Php119,00, Box of 6s - Php226, and 12s - Php439.

Aside from their branch in Greenbelt 3, Makati. They have branches in Trinoma, SM Mall of Asia and SM Megamall and SM Cebu. Follow them in facebook. http://www.facebook.com/ChewyJrPhilippines

MAKANSUTRA

 

I have been hearing about Makansutra so around September 2009, we finally got to try the place. Hmmm... the concept is really nice. Its like the food courts in Singapore - I can relate it with Food Republic. With that in mind and hearing that its really owned by a Singaporean, I was expecting the food will also taste the same. Sad to say it didn't appeal much to my taste. Maybe we just ordered the wrong ones? or maybe they adjusted the food to filipino taste.  The only thing I enjoyed among all our orders was their Barley drink.

I hope they can improve, since I really like the concept.  Having different kinds of Asian cuisine in one place. And prices are reasonable.  I will give it few more months and will try to go back again and order other viands..

Roti prata 90.00; Prawn mee soup 130.00, Mee rebus 90.00

 

Aside from not being content with my orders, I don't like my excess food go to waste so I requested for a take out bag -- then I was told its Php5.00 per container. What??!! First  time I've encountered a food outlet that charges take out containers. yikes!

Makansutra Asian Food Village is located at Manila Ocean Park's second floor. Behind Quirino Grandstand
