Chewy Junior is actually a franchise from Singapore. Unlike other cream puffs, Chewy Junior offers a cream puff that's crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside.
There Chewy Junior in Greenbelt 3 is located just beside Greenbelt 3 Cinemas. It's a small store with Chewy Junior Cream Puffs displayed on its see through window shelves.
Since Chewy Junior is crispy on the outside, it is fun to eat because every bite comes with a crunch. On the other hand, the chewiness of the inside makes the cream puff a bit heavier than the usual cream puffs. It feels like eating chewy buns with fillings.
Despite having topping variations, the regular flavors basically have four types of fillings: Vanilla Fillings, Chocolate Fillings, Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter Cream. If you want it simple, you'd better go with those with Vanilla Fillings. The Chocolate Fillings is recommended for chocolate lovers who have a sweet tooth. The Peanut Butter Cream is quite unique for a cream puff and it's a must try. Among their fillings, the Cream Cheese is the best! It's not unique, tasty and not too sweet.

Alive especially at night with its movie theatre, arcade, restaurants and bars is Greenhills promenade. Among the popular establishments therein is the pioneer branch of Happy Lemon. Happy Lemon originated from China and was franchised by the famous Smart Gilas basketball player Chris Tiu and his friends.
 |
| Lemon Honey with Seaweed Jelly (large P80) ♥Green Tea with Rock Salt and Cheese (large P90)
The Green Tea with Rock Salt and Cheese is one of their best sellers. Its best drank by drinking directly from the glass without using the straw. Initially, you will taste the salty creamy foam of the rock salt and cream cheese on top of your green tea. It will then be followed by the bitter taste of green tea. As you drink, the cheese will no longer be as strong as your initial sip and you will get to appreciate the green tea more.
The Lemon Honey with Seaweed Jelly is your typical honeyed lemonade with their seaweed jelly. The seaweed jelly is fun and enjoyable to eat.
|
 |
| Lemon Yogurt w/ Aloe (large 90php), ♥Lemon Peppermint / Nata de Coco (large 80php), Roasted Milk Tea w/ Black Pearl Sago (large 90php) |
The Lemon Yogurt w/ Aloe combines the sour flavor of lemonade and a mild tangy taste of yogurt. It actually turned out to be pretty good especially with the aloe.
The Lemon Peppermint / Nata de Coco is actually a unique and refreshing twist! It's really good. If you don't feel like having tea, order this drink instead.
The Roasted Milk Tea w/ Black Pearl Sago was the least creative option and the taste was also nothing special. However, if you prefer the classic milk tea, then you should try their version.
They have so many more variations to offer that we have yet to try out! How about you what's your favorite Happy Lemon drink?

Among the many establishments in Tomas Morato, there is a humble ice cream place that offers FREE WiFi called Paradis Natural Ice Cream. The interiors are cozy enough to hang out and chill or have a simple meeting with friends.
Natural Ice Cream
Whether its the Chili Chocolate with Saffron or the Wasabi, their ice cream is too sweet and rich for my taste. The Chili Chocolate with Saffron was thicker in texture than the wasabi. It was almost eating ice cream with bitter-sweet chocolate syrup. We appreciate the slight spiciness of the chili though. It was a great contrast to the strong chocolate flavor.
Soybet Ice Cream
 |
| Signature Ice Cream |
 |
| Toppings |
 |
| Chili Chocolate with Saffron (110 php) |
 |
| Wasabi (110 php) |
The Wasabi was very rich in flavor that after eating a couple of spoonfuls, you would be overwhelmed by the strong wasabi taste. It was actually difficult to finish a cup.
 |
| ♥ Strawberry Soybet (95 php) |
The Strawberry Soybet is delicious! It was lightly sweetened and refreshing. It's not as liquid as the normal sorbet and not thick like an ice cream either. It's somewhere in between. In terms of the taste, you probably won't guess that its made out of soy.
Overall, their serving size is good but the price is too expensive. It's good that they offer a FREE taste so you can decide the flavor you want to order. However, it would be great if they offer a combination of flavors in a cup because with their rich flavors, its difficult for one to finish it.

In the midst of the busy commercial plants and residences in Otis Paco, you can find Robinson's Otis. Aside from the Robinson's supermarket, Robinson's Otis offers a lot of dinning place selections such as "The Old Spaghetti House" or TOSH for short. It's a causal dinning place with a brick house ambiance perfect for a family meal together or a gathering with friends.
Appetizer
The Appetizer Basket contains three items listed in their appetizer menu. It includes the Calamares (Only comes with a mayo dip though), Chicken Fingers and Onion Rings. Its the best option to order when you're dinning with a group as everyone has their own preference or when you have yet to try out their appetizer varieties.
Spaghetti
Their Seafood Marinara is marked as their best seller in "The Old Spaghetti House" menu. is rich in seafood ingredients that adds flavor to the natural tomato taste of the red sauce. The pasta is cooked perfectly making the noodles enjoyable to eat.
The Gambasetti is another one of their best sellers. This dish is filled with shrimp and tomato chunks.
Pasta Meals
Not only is the Eggplant Parmigiana w/ Penne Pomodoro a healthy choice, it is also very delicious! This is one of our favorites at TOSH.
This Java Mocha taste like sugar milk! It made my throat sore and yet I failed to appreciate the mocha taste.
The Matcha Green Tea is delicious! Love the rich green tea taste complemented by the cool creamy sensation. I will certainly order this again.
As stated in their menu, the New York Cheese Cake is imported from the Cheesecake Factory in the US. This is a must order in every visit!

If you're a meat lover, they also serve the U.S. Beef Bistro Steak w/ Parmesan Spaghetti. They also ask you're steak preference when you order. The spaghetti is served plain with no other sauce than gravy. Thus, the spaghetti is eaten like rice. Every bite of steak is best eaten with the spaghetti. There is nothing special about this dish but the experience of eating steak with spaghetti.

| Strawberry Funnel Cake w/ Cream (110 php) |
The Strawberry Funnel Cake w/ Cream is okay but not as good as the cheesecake. The sweet and heavy strawberry syrup, lightly sweetened cream and the funnel cake goes well together.
Overall, you can expect consistency in the taste and texture of Tosh's pasta whichever branch you dine. Noticeable in this branch though it the poor and slow service. There is only one server for the entire restaurant so it was difficult for him to cope with the demand.

When we're hungry and need a quick meal or snack, we usually hit our shelves for either canned goods or instant noodles giving it the same old taste. Why couldn't we spend a few more minutes and try to experiment on canned tuna instead to make it somewhat a real meal? There are numerous possibilities using canned tuna.
One of the healthiest canned food I could find is tuna. The main benefit of eating tuna is its omega-3 fatty acid which helps in lowering the risk of heart disease, helps with arthritis pains, decrease asthma complications and tons of preventions (Alzheimer, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer). Did I already mention that fish is considered a brainfood for children?
