June 13th, 2017 — Food, Foodie News
Starbucks Philippines has new offerings from beverages, to food, to Starbucks Cards! But it’s the new Starbucks Frappuccinos which leads the pack with the Banana Split Mocha Frappuccino and Irish Cream Coffee Pudding Frappuccino.
New Starbucks Frappuccinos
I call the tandem “Dessert in a Cup!” Surely, the foodie term ‘Banana Split‘ rings a bell pertaining to a much-loved local ice cream house known as Magnolia Ice Cream which we have enjoyed since our childhood years.
And now, Starbucks is bringing this childhood favorite in a form of frappuccino. The new Starbucks Frappuccino flavors are the Banana Split Mocha Frappuccino and Irish Cream Coffee Pudding Frappuccino.
The former is a mixture of Mocha Frappuccino blended with banana puree, then layered on top of strawberry whipped cream and finally drizzled with chocolate and crunchy waffle cone pieces on top.
For the coffee lover, the second one is basically made of coffee and pudding made more special with Irish cream on top. I’ve tried both and I love the Banana Split Mocha Frappuccino. The Irish Cream Coffee Pudding Frappuccino is just ok for me.
Lime Torte Cake
New Starbucks Food Items:
How does a Lime Torte Cake, Mango Crunch Cake, and Chocolate Marshmallow Cake sound? They sound delicious, don’t they? 🙂
I went to Starbucks Circuit Makati the other day for the Neverland Manila Young Gunz EDM party so I passed by the Starbucks branch first for some bites, And guess what, I saw the Lime Cake and I ordered it.
I didn’t expact much actually. If you’ve tasted the Lime Cake from Sagada Province north of the Philippines, the other lime cakes would usually pale thereafter.
In contrast, it was surpisingly good! The new Lime Torte Cake was a symphony of flavors and texture with its sweet and tangy flavor partnered with crunchy and crumbly cake.
I’ve yet to try the other two, but I’m already excited to go back to another Starbucks branch. 🙂
Other new Starbucks food items I’m looking forward to try are the Whole Wheat Bagel, Bagel Bites filled with Cream Cheese, Blueberry Greek Yogurt Parfait and Mango Greek Yogurt Parfait which are finished with a sprinkling of crunchy oat granola on top. Add to that the Starbucks Cold Brew Pitcher Packs as well.
Starbucks Chill Mini Card
Father’s Day Starbucks Card
Lastly, with the upcoming Father’s Day, Starbucks Philippines made sure you have something to surprise your cool coffee-loving dads – the Father’s Day Starbucks Card! It also comes with a free greeting card for his special day!
Two other new cards are available now, the –  Chill Mini Card and Iced Coffee Card. The Chill Mini Card and the Father’s Day Card are available for a minimum activation fee of ₱500. The Iced Coffee Card, on the other hand, has a minimum activation fee of ₱1,000.

When we were young, we considered our father to be our Superman, because even after work, he would still spend time playing games with us, share stories and even help us with our homework.
This weekend, say thank you to your Superdad with the limited edition Red Ribbon Father’s Day Black Forest Cake.

It’s D-Day today, Dad’s Day! And with the fathers on mind, Melo’s Steakhouse has prepared something special for the man of the house – Steak Ala Dad.
Melo's Steak Ala Dad
Known initially to be the first restaurant to serve certified Angus Beef in the Philippines, Melo’s now also features Wagyu beef. And speaking of Wagyu, Steak Ala Dad is Melo’s latest creation to commemorate all the fathers for their hard work and sacrifices. I’ve tried it myself a few days ago in Melo’s Makati and the steak is soft and luscious just as what I expected from Melo’s. Although it’s my first time in Makati, I have tried Melo’s in Quezon City near ABS-CBN.
“We came up with our own Fathers’ Day Special which is certified to make the man of the house melt,†shared Melo’s Marketing Manager Carolina Santiago Macasaet, daughter of owner Carmelo L. Santiago, known as “Meloâ€.
Personally, I appreciate Melo’s personalized service in making sure that the steaks served in our tables were carefully cooked and grilled according to our liking. You can have your steak cooked in any level but I suggest you have them medium rare to have the firm surface while maintaining the soft meat inside. The Wagyu tenderloin is wrapped in bacon and sits on a serving of mash potato, some vegetables including carrots and asparagus, and mushroom porcini sauce.

Watch out as we’ll be featuring more of Melo’s new Wagyu variants soon. Subscribe and be updated!
Melo's Jupiter in Makati
So in case you’re browsing for a good place to treat dad on his special day, give him a taste of Steak Ala Dad which is in line with Melo’s expertise of the tastiest steaks, and perhaps follow it with Red Ribbon‘s Father’s Day Cake as well for a sweet finish. 🙂
