Krispy Kreme’s Holiday Donuts – Raf Bautista, Managing Editor
Like many of us, I love a little sweet treat every now and then. And I’ve been recently craving Krispy Kreme’s holiday donuts that hit the spot (which I typically pair with my forever fave, their Strawberry Lemonade). They look appealing with their Christmas designs and make for a nice sugary snack.
Kenny Rogers Cheese Roast – Precy Tan, Copywriter
You might like Kenny Rogers Cheese Roast because it’s the perfect combination of tender roasted chicken paired with the rich, creamy goodness of melted cheese.
The flavors balance each other beautifully—savory and slightly smoky from the roast, with a satisfying cheesy indulgence that takes it to the next level. Plus, it’s comfort food that feels a little elevated, making it both familiar and special at the same time.
Mamou USDA Prime Grade Steak – Gelo Quijencio, Multimedia Artist
Mamou Steak is just on another level—it’s so flavorful and cooked to perfection every time. The tenderness of the meat makes each bite feel like it’s melting in your mouth. I love how they season it just right, letting the steak’s natural flavors shine. Pairing it with their delicious sides makes the whole meal feel like a special treat. Honestly, it’s one of those steaks you keep craving long after you’ve had it!
Easy Tiger Beef Noodle Soup & Pan de Manila Frozen Yogurt – Nica Glorioso, Features Writer
Easy Tiger’s Beef Noodle Soup isn’t complicated—just what the holiday season needs. The soup is rich and well-seasoned, the noodles are chewy without being tough, the beef is cooked well, and they serve it in such a big, hearty bowl! It’s a pleasant, simple dish that can be oh-so comforting.
I love Pan de Manila’s popsicles, but I recently discovered their frozen yogurt pints, and they’ve quickly become a new fave. They’re sweet, refreshing, and just the perfect amount of tart. After I recently had my tooth extraction, the Mango and Strawberry frozen yogurt kept me company.
