Greenwich dinner with bloggers

thank you again, Greenwich for that special invitation to dinner. slowly we are getting to be new BFFs. LOL and to share to everyone, we were really full eating Greenwich pizzas especially the BIGATIN PIZZAS. and just to share to everyone, get your mouth watering for these:

Greenwich's 5 Cheeses and Garlic Overload Pizza

Greenwich Pizza Fries (Cheese Pizza flavor with Pizza sauce dip)

Greenwich's special White Chocolate Brazo de Mercedes that i really love. this dessert is made by Red Ribbon but only available at Greenwich. white chocolate curls on top of fluffy Brazo de Mercedes. perfect with coffee.

Heavier on a higher level!

if most of you who thought they know what's inside the Greenwich box, you're maybe right because it's been on the counter for around a week now and it's in the TVCs. some have tried it and i know they have the same reaction as mine since they are so good and satisfying!

Greenwich presents the new heavy BIGATIN pizzas!

two pizzas that are overloaded with toppings: the HUNGARIAN SAUSAGE and BACON OVERLOAD or SHRIMP AND GARLIC OVERLOAD. choose or get them both for a fun feast with your friends-barkada. available in thick or thin crust that you will surely enjoy anywhere.

and speaking of barkada, in line with the BIGATIN PIZZAS are two additional BIGATIN personalities to the original Greenwich barkada. eventologist, TIM YAP and basketball star, CHRIS TIU leveled up the fun as featured in the TVCs.

so visit the nearest Greenwich outlet now or dial 5-55-55 for Greenwich delivery to try out these new pizzas.

what's in this Greenwich Pizza Box?

thank you Greenwich for sending me four boxes of yummy pizzas which i shared with officemates. now, guess what's inside.

if you don't have a hint, i will release it on Friday morning. :)

1st Philippine Chocolate and Ice Cream Show Photos

it's so nice to have attended the first day of the 1st Philippince Chocolate and Ice Cream Show at the World Trade Center. even so, it was more fun when there's no much people going around since there's an alleged "typhoon" when the sun is high up. there's also no power in most of Luzon after the strong winds shut off the power. it is perhaps one of the yummiest events that i've ever seen since i love sweets.

entering the exhibit halls, you will find different chocolate suppliers, manufacturers, machine developers and sellers. explore your imagination to create the chocolate you love.

at the center of the expo, you'll immediately see chocolate creations that are truly splendid. intricate details are put together to build one fascinating chocolate sculpture which can be smelled when you enter the halls.

and here are the winners of the chocolate sculptures:

2nd, 1st and 3rd placer

as you wander more in the exhibit halls, a cake decorating competition is taking place at the kitchen at the end of the hall. different chefs from schools, hotels and other chocolate inspired businesses show of their talents to bring in the most creative cakes.

are here are some of the creations:

it was a really yummy event i should say. though i only attended the first day, i'm still hoping for a bigger and more exciting Philippine Chocolate and Ice Cream Show!
