Dairy Queen Philippines Opens 100th Branch!
Dairy Queen is a vital part of my college memories. Every time we go to the movies, I always “take in” a cup of Blizzard inside the cinema instead of popcorn. In fact, DQ is one of the reasons I did not end up slender. Hahaha 🙂 Last week, Dairy Queen Philippines opened its 100th…

Rita’s Italian Ice – SM Mall of Asia
I see Rita’s Italian Ice whenever we were in Greenhills, walking to Promenade from Virra Mall, I don’t know why we’ve never actually stopped to try it. I guess it’s because we were usually pre-occupied with the task at hand – usually buying / selling phones, our general reason for going to Greenhills. After the…
