Jamba Juice - Robinsons Place Ermita

America's famous smoothie store Jamba Juice opens their second branch in the urban city of Manila at the lower ground Midtown wing of Robinsons Place Manila.

The store is easy to find because their place is located near the entrance at the same time just beside Starbucks Cofee.

Tried their Orange-a-peel, their smoothie of the month at their 200 pesos cup.


So what are you waiting for, if you haven't experienced the all American healthy living smoothie store, just go to Jamba Juice Robinsons Place Manila.

Jamba Juice - Now in Manila Philippines

One of the most popular smoothie store is now in the Manila Philippines, offering healthy options to the Filipino consumer.

The last time that I heard this brand is from my brother; because he noticed some of his American friends having a list of Jamba Juice stuff on their credit card statement, my brother told me that this was, at first we assume another fruit juice chain that is popular in United States.

So we are strolling at the Robinsons Place Magnolia just to chill out when we saw a Jamba Juice store, out of curiosity, we went there and try their product.

As we look on their order list, we noticed that their product are more into healthy living —especially they are the only food store that offers Oatmeal treats to customer, favorable to me because Im into Oatmeal; so only that time a smoothie to check if their product is just similar to other store like Fuzion (one located in Greenbelt 3 Makati) or it will create an impact to Filipino consumer because of its unique taste.

So I ordered a their Peach Perfection smoothies — combination of peaches, mangoes, strawberries, peach juice, apple-strawberry juice— on their largest cup, their largest is price at 200 pesos.

When I took the first sip, the first thing that comes to my mind is that this smoothie is definitely an American brand; in my experience, American fruit juices has their own distinction of taste which differs from other fruit juices locally manufactured or manufactured outside US. I really love its taste because it is not too sweet nor sour, just perfect to my taste buds — similar to fruit punch I guess; at the same time, we ordered also Cinnamon pretzel which the taste is comparable to Auntie Annes.

All I can say right now is, since that I tried their products in Robinsons Place Magnolia, at the same time, they are in soft-opening; I highly recommend this chain to those who are into healthy living without sacrificing it taste; you'll definitely go wrong with their food product.

Starbucks Hojicha Green Tea Latte and Frappucino

Starbucks Philippines launched their drink of the month for the year 2013, Starbucks Hojicha Green Tea Latte and Frappucino.

If you are a Green tea drinker(and to those who adds milk on their Green Tea) you'll definitely love its unique taste.


First, we try the Hojicha Green Tea Latte; when you open the lid of its cup, it has this bubbly appearance at the same time, you will see the Green tea content. The taste, a strong Green tea extract mixed with Milk will be your first impression once you take the first sip; what I like about it is that it is perfect, not too sweet and not too bitter which Green tea is famous for.

For those people who fond of hot drinks, Stabucks also has a Hojicha Green Tea in Frappucino variant. Our first impression of the Hojicha Green tea Frappucino, it has this taste of Mocha, Cookies and Cream which is not an ingredient of this drink. Another interesting about it is that on your left portion of your Tongue once you have a sipped, it has this Cofee taste experience; on the middle portion of your Tongue, you will experience the mix taste of Cookies & Cream, and Mocha.

It doesn't have an after-taste experience when it passed through throat way down to your tummy, very common to their Coffee base Frappucino --guess this is one feature of a Green tea; and the longer lasting Green tea experience that stays on your Tongue.


______________________________________

So if you are into hot drinks or Frappucino, I recommend to try their latest drink Hojicha Green tea which is available until March of this year; this is perfect for Green Tea drinkers and to those who wants to taste Starbucks Philippines latest offer.
