The Return of the McSpicy at McDonald's Philippines

-
Back when I was still living in the Lion City, I remember looking forward to planned lunch outs with my colleagues D and I. These two ladies are truly the best food buddies as they're always so game to try anything and just about everything. Be it going back to our favorite Fried Chicken Biryani restaurant or heading all the way to Orchard for a good Indonesian lunch feast, there's never a dull lunch moment with them.

McDonald's is also one of our shared favorite fast food not only for their breakfast items but for their promotional products too. However, as I start to reminisce about our love for McDonald's in Singapore, I will always remember I's great love for McSpicy (or anything insanely spicy for that matter). While my spicy tolerance is pretty much as good as being able to enjoy a saucer of green chili with my daily mixed veg platter, my colleague I can really go all out with an already spicy ramen bowl with more chili or her ever favorite, McDonald's McSpicy. Once, after listening to her describe how delicious the McSpicy was, I dared myself to go try it and boy, did I just sent my mouth on fire within just the first few bites. Clearly, it was too hot for me to handle but I got to admit it was pretty good. It's the kind of sandwich that you just want to have more despite sweating buckets and quickly emptying out your large cup of Coke.

Yesterday, I got a surprise delivery from our friends over at McDonald's Philippines. Not a lot of info were given prior to the delivery so I wasn't really sure what to expect. As it turns out, McSpicy is back for just a limited time and it's one of those products that has won the hearts of the Filipinos when it first launched in 2013.

Not only are we having the original McSpicy (Php. 100) but it also brought along a new variant called the Garlic Parmesan McSpicy (Php. 100). Both comes with a generous piece of spicy fried chicken sandwiched in between pillowy-soft sesame buns and filled with shredded fresh lettuce and its respective sauce. One way to tell them apart is through the color of the sesame seeds on the bun. The Original McSpicy comes in an all-white sesame bun while the Garlic Parmesan McSpicy is sandwiched in between a black and white sesame bun.  

So, which McSpicy is better? 

My family had fun sampling these two sandwiches as I can only take a few bites as I fear that the spice level might take me to the labor room sooner than scheduled (heheh!). They enjoyed it so much that it was hard to get a proper vote on which variant is better as they liked them both! Looks like we have a tie! 

Now, do me a favor and go try these two McSpicy sandwiches too! Do let me know below which one you loved best.

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Back at Cibo : Trying Something "New"

Happy Easter!  I hope that you were all able to have a good and peaceful Holy Week. After all, it was the perfect time to reflect, to repent and to have hope for He has risen again. As for me, I spent it with my family and gave my kids my undivided attention.  Given that the past week was all about family, let me share with you one of my family's favorite restaurants. With all our varying tastes, it honestly is difficult to agree on a restaurant because what may be good for me, may not be something my parents would be keen on trying or returning to and so on. Cibo is a place where we're all happy to dine in and it's simply for these 3 reasons:  #1 Quality is always top notch. We can always expect their pasta noodles to be al dente and tasty, their pizza perfected baked and they have a good selection of hot and cold beverages too.  #2 Service is always consistent. No matter which Cibo branch we go to, we are always well taken cared of by their staff.  #3 They ...
