Korean Cream Cheese Garlic Bread
The Cream Cheese Garlic Bread is a famous street food in South Korea. And because we Filipinos love Hallyu, a lot of online bakeries have made their very own versions of these garlic buns!
Sestra Quisina is among the online bakeries to offer this tasty food trend. They are also the first to market the pesto cream cheese and coffee maple bacon flavors, aside from the classic cheesy garlic variety.
You can purchase the classic bun for Php 90 a piece, the cheesy garlic flavor for Php 125, the pesto cream cheese bun for Php 130, and the coffee maple bacon variation for Php 155 each. Make sure to send in your order forms at least two days before your desired delivery date, as they only accept pre-orders for now.

Meiji Apollo Strawberry Cheesecake

However, did you know that they can be used as an ingredient to make your fave strawberry cheesecakes taste even better? Well, the Meiji Apollo Cheesecake will surely make you drool.

Unblended Smoothie or Nature’s Cereal
@lizzo ITS ADDICTING
? original sound - lizzo
This food innovation is a brainchild of chart-topping singer Lizzo, when she shared on TikTok how “addicting” it is to eat “Nature’s Cereal” for breakfast. Filipino Youtuber Bretman Rock also posted a video trying the recipe out, and it made people even more curious about it.
It’s actually very simple to make, and you can do this at home too. Just mix berries – the amount of what you would usually put in a bowl of smoothie -- with coconut water and ice. It is called an “Unblended Smoothie” because you are using smoothie ingredients without a blender. It’s really just eating fresh fruits with some milk and ice.
Edible Cookie Dough
Yup, you heard that right! Edible cookie dough is now a thing.
When we were kids, our parents would often tell us not to taste raw cookie dough because of the risk of salmonella, but these edible ones by Grizzly Dough are safe because they do not contain any eggs!
This online shop only uses heat-treated flour, which reduces the risk of foodborne pathogens or bacteria. They come in a 200g pint and are available in 8 flavors: Grizzly Classic, A Cub Is Born (birthday cake-inspired), Pawfee (coffee-inspired), Chocnut Claw (made from Chocnut), Banana Furon (inspired by the famous Filipino merienda, turon), Bubblebear (bubblegum flavor), Panda Crunch (cookies and cream), and Cinnadough (cinnamon roll flavor). They can be purchased from Php 145 to Php 185 each, depending on the variant.
