QC-NA 4 Schedule of Activities

with the unfortunate situation held earlier August, the Quezon City Tourism Council has decided to move the QC-NA activities on September 25 - 27 at a new venue, SM Sky Dome at the SM North EDSA.
this is one of a kind culinary festival that not only invites tourists to come to Quezon City, but also experience the diversity of food that QC has to offer. the most-awaited Lechon Parade will take place on the first day and more activities are already lined up for the next 2 days.

McCafe treats

it was a different visit at McDonalds. i usually go there to get a cheeseburger meal and even order a happy meal to get that available toy. but this time, i ordered a Nutty Brazo slice and a Caramel bar at their McCafe section. each piece of dessert costs as low as Php 58 but guarantees to satisfy your sweet tooth.

the Caramel Bar is a soft cake topped with butter. this inch-high cake is not as sweet like other caramel bars or even their caramel sundae. what i love about it is the layer of butter that melts inside your mouth. it's chewy and a surprise of raisin bits invites you to have more.
the Nutty Brazo is still my favorite. unlike the usual Brazo de Mercedes from our local bakeshops, this brazo is not at all too sweet and you won't get tired of the taste. the soft texture of the brazo until it's cream inside is moist and very yummy. it also has little bits of chocolate chips. while outside of the brazo is a cinnamon covering with pieces of crushed nuts to get that crunch. at least you have something to chew on.
each dessert treat is Php 58 and perfect to match with coffee beverages. it's available at the McDonald's branch where the McCafe Bar is present.
