Rock Salt and Cheese

What? Rock salt and cheese? In a drink?

That was my initial expression when my cousin told me to try out Happy Lemon's specialty. The name itself got me quite intrigued as to how the flavors would complement each other. I doubted whether I should really try it. I am a sweet tooth and the name Rock Salt and Cheese sends 'sour flavor' signals to my brain.

However, my food lover instincts couldn't just say no. So I headed off to the Happy Lemon branch in TriNoma to satisfy my curiosity. The store is located on the 4th floor near the cinemas.

There are three variants of Rock Salt and Cheese to choose from: Green Tea, Coffee, and Cocoa. Of course, I ordered Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese. It costs PhP90. I had to wait a few minutes to get my drink, considering the queue was long. And I have observed how the Happy Lemon crew creatively pour the melted cheese on top of liquid chocolate. Then, they added chocolate powder to garnish it. Yum!

One creative drink.

I excitedly went to a nearby table and tasted this unique drink. The first sip exceeded my expectations! The rock salt and cheese topping was not sour as I thought it would be. It had a gentle saltiness that reminded me of cheesecake. However, I was a bit disappointed with the cocoa as it tasted bland and ordinary. But its one-of-kind combination with the rock salt and cheese gave out a good and satisfying result.

It was surprising how the flavor complemented each other. I can describe the drink in one sentence: It is comparable to eating a liquid chocolate cheesecake. And I love cheesecakes! Therefore I love Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese!

Ratings:
Taste: 4 out of 5 stars
Service: 5 out of 5 stars
Store Layout: 3 out of 5 stars
Overall: 4 Stars

I will definitely be back in Happy Lemon to try out more of their drinks. I heard the Yakult line is great too!

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead. I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore 2019 planner! The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did! Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included! He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench . Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather. I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner. The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
