taste test – The Hungry Traveler PH

Since we are now on season 3 of ECQ here in the Philippines, that means we can’t still go out and dine-in in our favorite restaurants like before.

Glad to know that Taste of Joy exists and delivers affordable set meals perfect for parties at the comfort of our own home.

Taste of Joy has been in the food industry since 1993! We’re not that familiar with them because the branches they have are located mostly in South areas.

But now, they are covering all parts here in Metro Manila for deliveries so they are now starting to make noise here in the North area.

One of the promo bundles in Taste of Joy is their BTS meal. BTS stands for “Big Team Special” and is good for 4 to 6 persons already. The price for this promo bundle is 675 PHP. BTS meal includes the following:

1 extra small bilao of spaghetti

BFF MEAL

The BFF meal is one of their newest promo bundle in Taste of Joy. BFF stands for “Big Family Foodtrip” and is good for 4 persons. The price for this promo bundle is 859 PHP. BFF meal includes the following:

1 extra small bilao of chapchae
4 pcs of pork BBQ

Our personal favorite is their Chapchae! Imagine eating a “bilao” of Chapchae! So good and it has a lot of toppings. We also want to commend their Pork BBQ because the meat was still tender after few hours of taking pictures.

Overall, all the food we tasted were delicious. We recommend you guys to try these promo bundles from Taste of Joy. Good food, affordable promo bundles, and much safer because they deliver straight to your homes.

These two donuts have been circulating on my feed for a long time now. And being the curious food blogger, I finally gave in and tried the two trending classic Filipino donuts.

So let’s talk about the trending Lola Nena’s and Mix-up Breadhaus. Both originally from the Philippines so we can say their donuts are Filipino classics, like the ones that we bought in a bakery.

PACKAGING

Lola Nena’s: shoe-box type, rectangular size

Mix-Up Breadhaus: square box

PRODUCT OFFERED

Lola Nena’s: Triple Cheese Donuts (also available in classic)

Mix-Up Breadhaus: Milky Cheese Donuts

PRICE / PIECE

Lola Nena’s: 200 php per box | 8 pcs in each box

Mix-Up Breadhaus: 220 php per box | 20 pcs in each box

WHERE TO BUY

Lola Nena’s: Bought it in their Commonwealth branch; you can also pre-order online

Mix-Up Breadhaus: Got it from J&M Your Food Shoppe; they deliver around Metro Manila and CALABARZON

TASTE

Lola Nena’s: Best eaten when hot to feel the melted cheese; there’s “umay” factor when eaten cold because the cheese will turn into a block of cheese; coated in sugar

Mix-Up Breadhaus: Small amount of cheese inside; the bread is tough when eaten cold (consume immediately); coated in powdered milk

FINAL VERDICT

Both are definitely good. Best paired with coffee!
Brings back the good old memories of our classic donuts from the bakery.
Both are messy to eat (sugar for Lola Nena’s and powdered milk for Mix-Up Breadhaus).
Price-wise, will definitely go for Mix-Up Breadhaus, for only 220 php, you can get 20 pcs donuts.
If you’re a cheese lover, go for Lola Nena’s.
