J.CO Donuts and Coffee will soon invade the Philippines!

J.CO Donuts and Coffee, the "fastest growing donut and coffee chain in South East Asia," is coming to the Philippines, and will open its first branch at The Strip in SM Megamall, Ortigas, Mandaluyong City this coming February 16, 2012 March 15, 2012!



This international premium brand, which comes from Indonesia, will open its doors to Filipinos with a refreshing new twist in the lifestyle cafe scene, and will surely send Pinoys lining up for their freshly made, delicious, melt-in-your-mouth donuts and Italian brewed coffee.

Using only the best ingredients found around the world, such as Belgian chocolates, Californian almonds, American honey, New Zealand cheese, and Japanese Matcha green tea, J.CO's donuts are created perfectly delectable.

Yesterday, three boxes of these delicious J.CO donuts found their way to my office, thanks to Alvene Ngo, and the Philippine franchisee of J.CO Donuts & Coffee, the "popular food chain that is fast sweeping across the Orient."


Assorted donuts, which include Heaven Berry (Strawberry heaven, made with strawberries and cream), Choco Caviar, Cheese Me Up (sweet-savory delight), Why Nut (American peanut butter filling and premium white chocolate topping), Green Tease (Matcha green tea imported from Japan), Choco Loco and a lot more.



One box of Alcapone, J.CO's signature product, where white Belgian Chocolate meets crunchy Californian almonds! Truly the BESTSELLER! :)



J.CO's popularity boomed overnight, opening its first store back in 2005 in Jakarta. Since then, J.CO quickly followed with 100 more outlets spread throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and more recently, Shanghai, China. Now, J.CO is here in the Philippines!

You definitely should not miss out on J.CO, the latest craze to hit Manila, and its opening next year! There is a special treat for the first 200 customers to visit the store starting 9am. Tag your friends along for a chance to get something extra special from J.CO Philippines.

EDIT:
P.S. Can I just say that (without any B.S.) this will definitely be a hit in the Philippines because of its delicious and really soft, yummy, tasty donuts (WINNER sa sarap!). Oh, and it's not too sweet, but the flavors play and blend really well.

New Krispy Kreme White Chocolate Filled Doughnut with Kitkat

Krispy Kreme Philippines released its newest treat, Snack Doughnuts with KitKat, which comes in three varieties, the Glazed Cake, Chocolate Filled and the White Chocolate Filled :) Since it's new and it has KitKat, I decided to give it a try. The doughnut was definitely Krispy Kreme - if you get what I mean (it's sweet and really chewy). I love the KitKat, but I am not sure I tasted the White Chocolate filling that much. Although, overall, it's yummy for me, don't expect too much from it.

Top Pot is a family owned business started by two brothers Mark and Michael Klebeck. Starbucks hand selected Top Pot back in 2005 to carry their doughnuts in the Starbucks pastry cases of stores throughout western Washington. Starbucks is pleased to offer its customers a unique, old style hand-forged doughnut.

Top Pot and Starbucks share a commitment to providing highest levels of quality and taste. Top Pot’s signature “hand-forged” doughnuts are made using very little automation in order to give each doughnut a hand crafted taste and look that is a perfect pairing for Starbucks® hand crafted beverages and coffee.

Krispy Kreme's Baked Creations - Bacon Love

I recently tried one of Krispy Kreme's Baked Creations, the Bacon and Cheese pull-apart (Php 75) available at Krispy Kreme Greenhills (one of two locations carrying the baked creations line). I love the bacon and cheese infusion and how they went well together with the soft and chewy bread. A little bit of mayo and black pepper made it more delicious. You have to try it!
