Jollibee Tuna Pie is Back (Limited Time only!)

Written on February 24, 2012 by in Breads / Pastries / Cakes, Breakfast, Comfort Food, Fast Food Chains, Food Delivery, Food Product Reviews / Features, Sandwiches, Seafood, Snacks

For most of us, come Lenten season, we take it to heart to fast or go on a meatless diet. We are certified meat lovers and I believe that those of you who share the same love for anything with generous amounts of beef, pork or chicken understand how hard it is to give up meat during this time. Well, guess what. Avoiding meat don’t have to be boring or bland ’cause Jollibee Tuna Pie is back and it’s just so timely.

Jollibee Tuna Pie, no need to go on a boring meatless diet

I am a big fan of Jollibee’s Tuna Pie. Back when I was still working somewhere in Ortigas, I remember taking a cab on my way to work, asking the driver to go to the nearest Jollibee drive-thru and ordering this to start my day as I work nights and didn’t want to eat rice. It’s good enough to get me through hours of work before I needed to get a complete meal in the morning, before my shift ends (breakfast time).

Jollibee Tuna Pie filling

I love Jollibee Tuna Pie’s generous filling of chunky tuna flakes, the creamy peppery sauce and vegetables that accompany it, and the crispy crust wrapper. I can gobble up one of these in a few minutes! And I know a lot of of you already have an idea how delicious they are.

KFC Zinger Double Down : A Hot Meaty Surprise

Written on November 28, 2011 by in Beverages / Drinks, Chicken and Eggs, Comfort Food, Desserts / Ice Cream, Food Delivery, Food Product Reviews / Features, Foodie FYI / News, Sandwiches

When I took my first bite on a KFC Double Down sandwich when it was launched months ago, I enjoyed its sinful meatiness. A lot of my friends and fellow KFC enthusiasts have also raved about it, and were demanding for the return of this sandwich. Now, imagine how excited we were when we found out they decided to bring it back with a hot new twist – KFC Zinger Double Down Sandwich.

KFC Zinger Double Down - up-close

Our family, especially Ken, enjoys spicy food. So we really, really wanted to give this a try. The KFC branch in Malabon no longer delivers to our area for some reason (why?!? :( ) so we had to go to their store to order.

To prepare ourselves for this spicy experience, my nanay and I bought KFC Krushers too. She picked the Strawberry Lush yogurt Krusher, I got the Kookies n’ Cream. We ended up finishing them off before our orders were completed. It’s ‘cause of the weather! :D

There are more new Krushers flavors now and I want to try the rest next time we go to KFC. I’ll order the Mocha Krunch, Rockin’ Road or their Christmas Krushers Winter Berry and Dulce de Leche. The classic Krushers are priced at Php 65; yoghurt ones are at Php 75, while the minis are at Php 45.

I really hope they include us again in their delivery areas. :( Sorry, can’t get over the fact that just a month ago, they still deliver and now, they can’t anymore. :D

The Cookie Jar’s Yummy Treats!

Written on April 20, 2011 by in Baking, Breads / Pastries / Cakes, Comfort Food, Desserts / Ice Cream, Food Delivery, Food Product Reviews / Features, Foodie Discoveries, Foodie Stores, Shopping, Gift Ideas, Pasalubong Ideas, Shopping

My bro Ken and I are both pastry lovers. He particularly loves cakes and baking them. I love different kinds of pastries, most especially cookies and have been planning on learning how to bake myself. That’s why when Rae of The Cookie Jar sent us these goodies, we were both excited to try them.

By the way, my bro and I love their packaging. The box, jar and tin can can be easily recycled. Kudos for that! They also used earthy tones of colors, which makes the packing more elegant. Perfect for gifts!

You might be wondering what makes The Cookie Jar different from other cookie or pastry shops. They are aiming to make baking cookies easy for newbie bakers with their jars of ingredients mix.

We got this jar of ingredients for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. You can see the stack of flour, sugar, oats, and semi-sweet chocolate chips from this clear jar. No need to worry about measurements.

At the back of the gift tag that comes with each jar, you’d see baking instructions. All you need to add with the mix of ingredients are butter, vanilla and 2 eggs.

We haven’t baked the cookies yet, but will write a separate post for that. We’re saving it for a pick-me-up get-together with a friend next week. :)

Now, if you don’t have an oven, you’re not that confident with you baking or you simply prefer already baked cookies, you can also buy these cans of cookies.

We received a can of The Cookie Jar’s Homemade Triple Chocolate Cookies. Each can contains 10 cookies, by the way.

As soon as I took a bite of the cookie, I was delighted with the chunky bits of white and semi-sweet chocolates. The cookies were also chewy, which I love, love, love.

Pizza Hut Night, Lechon Pizza Review, Promo Alert!

Written on January 19, 2011 by in Celebrations, Comfort Food, Food Delivery, Food Product Reviews / Features, Foodie Promos, Giveaways & Freebies, Pasta, Pizza, Promos / Giveaways / Contests, Reviews, The Burp Society

Back in November, I posted about Pizza Hut’s Lechon Pizza promo on their Facebook fan page where you can win a feast or gift certificates. Well, guess what!?!

I won gift certificates from Pizza Hut's Lechon Pizza promo - CertifiedFoodies.com

I WON!!! If only I wasn’t at our computer shop, I would’ve jumped up and down in glee! I won Php 1,500 gift certificates from Pizza Hut, one of my top favorite pizza joints.

Pizza Hut accommodated my request to have my prize shipped to my home - CertifiedFoodies.com

I had issues with how I could claim the gift certificates because I can’t close the shop just to pick them up. That’s why I’m so grateful that they accommodated my request to have my prize shipped to my home address through courier. Thank you so much, Pizza Hut!

So, I had it all planned. I tagged my friends from The Burp Society (formerly known as Tomador Inc. :D ) on the photo post where I won and they were the ones who were invited, too, for the pizza party. It was supposed to be a super late birthday celebration for one of my friends, and a post-Christmas and New year celebration all rolled into one.

My friend Badeth has her Pizza Hut Palm card with her. I confirmed with Pizza Hut’s customer service agent that I could use the Palm card. I was asking ’cause I thought they had another promo for delivery, like their All-You-Pay promos in the past.

 

!PROMO ALERT!

I interrupt this post to tell you about Pizza Hut’s latest All-You-Pay promo. For only Php 499, you get 2 Family Pan Pizzas. Available flavors are ultimate Cheese, Supreme and Hawaiian Supreme.

This promo is available for DELIVERY only until March 10, 2011. So, hurry and take advantage of it now! Call 911-11-11 for Pizza Hut delivery!

Back to regular programming… (no, this is not a sponsored post).

 

What did we order? I really, really wanted to try the Lechon Pizza so we ordered one (1) large (14") pizza for Php 499.

At first glance, I was a li’l skeptical about the Lechon Pizza. I mean, it looked a bit greasy to me. They had a separate package for the pork roasted skin that you can either break into pieces or grind to spread all over the pizza. They even include extra sauce.
