Le Delish Diaries: Something Speculoosly Good Baking At Go Nuts Donuts

Go Nuts Donuts had been on my list of my fave sweets shop since college. I would crave their donuts every now and then and even up to now. My all-time fave flavor are Pastillas and Strawberry. I could devour 3 donuts in one sitting. I like how soft and pillowy their dough is and you can really taste the strawberry flavor and its not too sweet either.  Its just the perfect donut for moi.

And now, Go Nuts Donuts has officially joined the craze. Speculoos Cookie Butter craze that is. Manila has been going ga-ga over the Speculoos Cookie Butter for quite sometime now. So, Go Nuts Donuts came up with this brilliant idea of adding Cookie Butter as one of their donut flavors, inspired by Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter. Amazing right??

As seen from their Facebook Page and Instagram, they are baking something speculoosly spectacular and its coming soon. I just cannot wait! Can you?

Speculoos Cookie Butter is a cookie butter spread from Trader's Joes. You can spread it on pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, ice cream topping, dip, etc. It also has Lotus Biscoff Spread as the European counterpart. Personally, I love both.

Le Delish Diaries: Jollibee's Ultimate Burger Steak

Jollibee's Ultimate Burger Steak had hit my Facebook and Instagram feed like a storm. Everybody's talking about it and I've always been curious since it was launched. Even the fiance wanted to try it because we're such fans already of their regular Burger Steak. And so last weekend, we did.

Jollibee's Ultimate Burger Steak

For the price of Php 119, you get the Ultimate Burger Steak plus a soda. Not bad, I mean not bad at all. The patty was as big as the patty of their Champ Burger which was way bigger than the regular patty. It also came with rice topped with fried egg, fries underneath the quite huge patty then mushrooms, garlic bits and gravy to top it all off. 

The serving was huge compared to their other meals and it can be pretty heavy on the tummy as well which I think is a good buy for its price. It also tasted delish since we were already a fan of the regular Burger Steak except this is way more self-indulgent because of the fries and fried egg.

I finished the whole plate in no time savoring all the meaty goodness. Jet loved it too and I think after licking our plates clean, we loved Jollibee even more. I hope their Ultimate Burger Steak will be a mainstay on their menu for good. Yum!

Le Delish Diaries: Bono Artisanal Gelato

Ice Cream is my kind of dessert. I'm not really a sweet tooth but ice cream is a sweet that I would crave from time to time. Gelato for me is a way more decadent ice cream and a good gelato can transport me to heaven and back.

I've been to Rome, Italy 3 times and every time I'm in the city center I would chow down a scoop of gelato. Now from my experience, not every gelato is equally good. Some are just really plain ice cream disguised as a gelato. I've tried a few on my first visit to Rome and didn't quite like it. On my second tip however, while walking in Piazza Navona I bumped into this tiny shop that claims to have artisanal gelato and so I got curious and tried it. The gelato shop name was Frigidarium. It does sound a little creepy but not a bit in the shop was creepy. I say its more like heavenly. They serve all kinds of flavors and I just fell in love with their Pistachio. I know you might say that it could be just any pistachio ice cream in the market. It could've been but not. It was the tastiest, most decadent, richest and creamiest pistachio gelato I've ever tried. It was divine.

 

After that divine gelato experience, I'm always on the look out for something that would topped that experience. And it took me by surprise that a gelato divine experience like that at Frigidarium can be found here in Manila and I shit you not.

Last Sunday, Jet and I went to Makati after coming from the SuperSale Bazaar. I've already seen Bono Artisanal Gelato every time I go to SM Makati but never tried it since I thought there would be nothing special about it. But as I read food blogs, I found out that it has good reviews and also, the owner of Bono actually studied gelato making in Italy and that got me really interested.  That being said, I dragged my fiance to have a taste of their artisanal gelato.

Php 130 for a scoop

As I was choosing my flavor, I had quite an ordeal deciding what to get. I wanted all seriously. In the end, I was in a battle between Speculoos and Cereal & Milk. The winner? Cereal & Milk and it was the perfect choice. I like how big the cereal bits were and it also had a tinge of saltiness to it. Yummmyyyy!!! It was just oh so creamy and rich and milky! I wanted a whole tub of it on my fridge every day!! It transported me to Italy and back. The experience was delicious and I promised myself that I would get a scoop every time I'm in the area or even a double.

Their ingredients are fresh and top-notch and they also make it by batches. Nothing beats good quality. I officially salute Bono Artisanal Gelato for an equally divine gelato experience like the one I had in Rome. And I'm so glad that I don't have to travel far just to get a damn good gelato. Benissimo!

Le Delish Diaries: Mr. Jones Greenbelt 5

Me and my fiance Jet would go out on weekends for our usual weekend date. We wanted to try something new, somewhere we haven't eaten before and Mr. Jones at Greenbelt 5 seemed perfect.

Mr. Jones have that 50's diner feel hence the extensive diner food they serve. I was really tired that day that I couldn't decide what to get. While I was having a hard time choosing, my fiance on the otherhand, quickly pointed out what he was having.

I was actually battling over their Wicked Truffle Mac n' Cheese since I love everything truffles over their Fish and Chips but I don't know. My lil munchkin in my belly was craving something crunchy that night so I opted for their Fish and Chips instead.    

Fish and Chips Php 385

The Grilled "Truck Stop" Pork Steak Php 420

The Grilled "Truck Stop" Pork Steak was the choice of the fiance and he liked it a lot. The pork was tender and flavorful and the mashed potatoes was also on point. Meanwhile, my Fish and Chips was just ok. The batter wasn't crispy and it has a strong flavor of dill which I recently found out that I had an aversion to now that I'm preggo. I loved the fries though. And service was also good.

Still, I would definitely love to come back and order differently then maybe their Fountain Licks might just win me over.
