Sbarro's Chicken Vesuvio

I watched Breaking Dawn on its first day of showing, and before going to the cinema I first bought snacks to bring inside (more like dinner, I was afraid that buying a few would not suffice).



I bought an order each of Chicken Vesuvio, Baked Ziti and Garlic Roll at Sbarro.


*it was hard to eat the vesuvio inside the cinema, as you will need both hands to eat the chicken




Sbarro's Vesuvio was different in the sense that it was very tangy, that first I thought that it was off (spoilt). Not my favorite. And the breading was like scrambled eggs. No problems with the Ziti and Garlic Roll though.

I also bought 2 slices of Starbucks Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake.



They are my favorite among Starbucks Christmas Offerings, I eat a slice or two of them every day, but after eating 2 slices of them every day for 2 weeks, I think I've had enough of them for now. I should try something else starting tomorrow.

And last, I bought a small bag (minor league) of Tater's White Cheddar Popcorn.



They are so good. Salty with strong but not overpowering cheese aftertaste. They are cheesier than the Cheese flavor, but milder in the sense that your tongue would not be overwhelmed by its cheese flavor. I like it better now than my usual Texan BBQ. I've also tried their Curry Flavor, which indeed tasted like curry. But when I am on my "trying to be healthy" day, I buy the Plain Without Salt Popcorn.

Well, I didn't finish all of them inside. The movie wasn't that long. Did I like the movie? Not so much. I think all the good scenes would be on the second part. I did see Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol trailer though and am excited to watch it this coming December.

Happy Eating!

Starbucks Texas Chicken BBQ Wrap

I am having the blues this week that I wanted to go out almost every day. I was asking friends and family members to accompany me but they were all busy, that I just go out alone. But going out alone meant more shopping and eating for me, so just imagine how huge a dent in my wallet going out is doing to me.
Even the heavy rains didn't stop me from malling.

After hours of both window and actual shopping, it was now time for a snack. As I still wasn't able to try all of their Christmas offerings, I excitedly ordered snacks at Starbucks.

I had the last piece of the Texas Chicken BBQ Wrap and added two slices of the Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake and a slice of the Triple Decker Cheesecake with Snickers.
The Moist Chocolate Cake and the Pecan  Butterscotch Twirl were not available that afternoon. Maybe next time.

The Texas Wrap tasted like CPK's original BBQ pizza, so I definitely like it. An order too was very filling.



This time my order of Warm Chocolate Chip was decorated with whipped cream and caramel sauce and I did like it. Even though eating it as it is is already enjoyable, the whipped cream and caramel added more to its charm. My favorite. I eat a slice or two of this every day.



The Triple Decker tasted more like Chocnut than Reese's and the chocolate cheesecake part tasted like their Truffle Cheesecake.





Happy Eating!

Starbucks Christmas 2011

Since the sem break has already ended, my sister and her family went home from their 2week vacation in our house. Our house are now quiet again. I miss seeing them and playing with my niece and nephew, that I wanted to get out of the house to stop feeling the blues.

But going out of the house also means shopping and lots of eating for me.

In the middle of shopping, I got hungry that I went to Starbucks for a snack. I was happy that their Christmas Offerings were already available that day.



I wanted to order the Texan Chicken BBQ Wrap but it wasn't available that I just settled for the Turkey and Chicken with Apple Stuffing on Whole Wheat Walnut Bread



It was hard eating this sandwich with utensils because the bread was hard. The apple stuffing inside also tasted like a nutty liver spread while the walnuts in the bread tasted off and old.

For dessert I ordered 3.

The S'mores, Peppermint Brownie and Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake.

The filling of the S'mores tasted like mocha buttercream than something made of marshmallows and chocolate.



The Chocolate Chip really was a cake version of the cookie. I like that the chocolate part was thick and good.



While the Peppermint Brownie was moist, minty and very sweet.


Can't wait to try the rest of their offerings soon.

Happy Eating!
