Melona Ice Cream

Ever tried this Korean ice cream?

It's so creamy, big in size, and one great buy.

It comes in different flavors: melon, banana, strawberry, mango, and the mongo.

Tried all. But my favorite is melon of course.

Shot below was taken at a Korean supermarket in Ongpin St., Binondo Manila.

Each creamsicle costs P25.

Melona

- Launched in 1991 and covered the domestic food and beverage market with green wave

- Smooth and rich taste of real melon flesh

- Set the best selling record in the domestic "Popsicle" market

- Sold 280 million bars in 1994 and has been one of the steady sellers so far

So what are you waiting for? Haha. Go!

Melona is available at S&R, Rustans and local Korean groceries like in Binondo, Makati City (in front of Rufus', Burgos Circle BGC Taguig City, and even some restaurants like Mann Hann, Zaifu, etc..

Eng Bee Tin

This is one of the reasons I keep coming back in Binondo.

I love Eng Bee Tin! From their various hopia, mochi, cheese roll, and tikoy.. who can resist?

For only P42-44/pack, any cravings would be gone.

My favorite is the Ube/Pastillas combi.. But they have a new product - the mochipia which is a hopia with a tikoy-filled inside.. I think it's better than the plain ube.

What can I say? It's "HO CHA" (good food).

Tikoy time!

I am not Chinese but I super love Tikoy.

Tikoy is a sticky pudding which is usually a treat every Chinese New Year. It is considered bringing good luck inside home and it is usually given because its stickiness represents the strong bond of friendship that the giver wishes to have with its recipient. Well, I'm not sure but of this saying but I just love eating this. Haha.

We usually buy Tikoy days before the Chinese New Year. But this week, I went to Binondo and grabbed Tikoy and Hopia. Food Tripping in Binondo.. the best! Can't resist Eng Bee Tin Shop and uber delicious Custard Cake in Salazar bakery. Sometimes I go there just to ease my cravings.

How do I cook Tikoy? I like mine dipped in beaten egg then fried.

So, Kung Hei Fat Choi!
