Peppermint Pot and Sea Salt Caramel

Trying out Seattle's Best's newest coffee beverage. Rae and I usually want our coffee plain and simply black. However, SB's poster got us very curious. Also, we wanted to avail of the 20% discount because we are their MOA branch's company of the month for July. Yey!



Rae bought the sea salt caramel mocha which has a very cute starfish on top. Mine's the peppermint pot mocha which looks exactly like a pot with a bud of peppermint. They looked so cool it took us a while to finally drink it.


Rae's starfish and my soil are already sinking when we decided to get it over with. Hehe.

We found it too sweet for our taste. I liked the mint flavor but I had a hard time finishing mine. I gave some to my office mates and they actually liked it. Oh well, I guess it depends on one's preference.

I'm now back to my usual black coffee. :D

ABE Restaurant @MOA


My officemates and I went to Abe in MOA last November. Abe is one of those fancy-looking restaurants facing Manila Bay. We go to MOA everyday but we rarely go to that area since restaurants there are, well, fancy.

We ordered:

Calamares in su Tinta (Php250)

This dish has a very funny side story. Earlier that week, I craved for adobong pusit. For that week alone, I managed to eat adobong pusit three times, in different varieties. I think my officemates ordered this to make fun of me, or maybe they're doing me a favor because they thought my craving can't be satiated. The squid was cooked with the ink, which turned everything black, including my officemates' lips, teeth and tongue. Then I started making fun of them so we're quits. :D

Bicol Express (Php265)

This, I ordered by mistake because I was thinking of the meaty Luzon-version bicol express. That's what you get for not reading the menu carefully. It wasn't that bad really, tastes like the bicol express I'm used to minus the meat. But I did miss the meat. I just didn't know that that's what authentic Bicol Express is. Good thing we ordered this next one... 

Knockout Knuckle (Php595)

This is their take of the famous cardiac-delight crispy pata. It was very tasty and crispy, the way crispy pata should be.

I'm pretty sure we also ordered Sinigang na Bangus Belly with Ripe Guava (Php399) but i don't know why I failed to take a picture of it.

As for my good friend R, she went there with her boyfriend E and her family that same week (meet the parents? yikeeeee). She said it was her first time to eat at their MOA branch. I can't quite remember if she said anything else except for that ridiculously priced house iced tea she and her BF ordered without checking first how much it was. Good thing my officemates and I chose house water. Hehe. Lesson learned: Water is better, healthier, and cheaper, than iced tea. :)

Peanut Butter Galore

Our first stop--Peanut Butter & Co.  

Yipee!  Ever since their branch in MOA opened this year, I have been curious of the place and thought it was worth the try. Rae, her boyfriend, and I went there last Thursday for dinner.

Table Tops

PB&Co.’s concept is very unique.  Except for coffee and soda, every food they offer has peanut butter in it. This will make you very curious about how everything tastes like. The menu is fun and very creative. The place is small and neat.

Menu was a little limited but all were interesting.

We ordered: PB hot choco (P65), BBQ wings (P165), and curry chicken spaghetti (P185).

Three cups of steamingPB hot choco. Yummy!

I should say we were blown away by the peanut butter hot choco. When we removed the cover, the nutty scent roused us. I'm not a big fan of hot choco but I liked this one since it’s not too sweet and not too creamy.

Three pieces chicken wings, cut in half, with chili PB on top.

 Nothing really extraordinary with the BBQ wings. Surprisingly though, the peanut butter taste did a good job blending in with the spicy bbq flavor.

Curry Chicken Pasta. Taste’s better than it looks in the picture.

The Curry Chicken Pasta was the most interesting.  Curry pasta sause is something for all of us. Peanut butter was drizzled on top but the curry taste was overpowering. The sauce is quite rich and the taste is enjoyable.

I wished we ordered something to neutralize all the PB we ate. But all in all, I could say our dining experience has been satisfactory. 


I googled PB Co. and I found out that their menu is created using each of their 12 peanut butter flavours - creamy, crunchy, curry, dark chocolate, green tea, chili, cinnamon, white chocolate, sun-dried tomato, butter cardamom, and sesame. They make their own peanut butter and it is all natural. They also sell their gourmet peanut butters jars in their restaurants.

Check this out! They sell cherry-flavored and caffeine-free coke.
