CBTL Open House 2016: Vanilla Almond Ice Blended



Welcome a light and sweet concoction for this year's Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Open House.


I recently purchased a Swirl Rewards card that gives you cash back, free wifi at any CBTL store, and access to special promotions like this. Looking back, I should have purchased one before I started collecting stamps for my Giving Journal 2016 to gain the cash back/points that can be used to purchase menu items.


Just by showing my activated Swirl card, I got a free Vanilla Almond Ice Blended (regular size). What a treat! This was available for free between 10am to 11:30am today, January 17. I ordered mine without whipped cream.


True to its tag line, it was light and sweet. Perfect for those who want a sugary milky dose of caffeine.

Could be a snack, could be a dessert. Turon's crispiness plus sweet and salty flavors is a sure merienda or dessert treat. [...read me]

Two dessert items on this list! Dessert should be equally good as the main dishes in every meal. [...read me]



Barbara's Cultural Experience at Intramuros

Sometimes, it's not all about the food. The ambiance and location also contributes to the dining experience. Situated within the walled city, just across San Agustin church which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and within Casa Manila, this is a good venue to feel the historical Filipino vibe.
