I blogged about Spiral a couple of years ago and now that it is under renovation, I can’t help but to look forward to its re-opening come August this year. During the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila’s official website launch, I got a glimpse of the food being offered by the hotel lately.
My taste buds are discerning when it comes to spicy food. I can tolerate spicy food quite well but not all kinds. And truth of the matter is, I do not know how my tongue picks whichever it can tolerate or not. I can dig in a plate of kimchi with no problem but it would be difficult for me to consume something that has a lot of Tabasco sauce in it. I do not get it.
Indonesian food, as of this day, I found to be the spiciest type of food I have tasted in my life. Yes, it trumped Korean and Thai. What I once requested to be a little spicy from a food court in Jakarta turned out to be more than what I can take. I was so full from drinking too much water just to get my tongue out of that burning sensation.
I like eating sweets but my world does not necessarily revolve around desserts. I stay away from cookies too because most I have tasted were Chips Ahoy (which I no longer eat since I was in elementary) or something similar to it.
I am not sure when my liking and curiosity about green tea began. All I know is that I like tea-base flavours. I have a couple of friends who are flight attendants which means that they literally live in their suitcases. It was suggested to me that I give green tea flavoured Kit Kat a try. Since I have not been to Japan (unless you consider multiple layovers), I had to ask my friends who travel often to Japan to purchase for me one of these.
You know where to get the best dessert in Little Tokyo? If you like green tea and ice cream, I suggest you get yours at Choto Stop. At Php 80, it comes in a 200ml serving which I think is more than the size of a regular personal ice cream cup we normally get from our local supermarket.
Being the green tea junkie that I am, I of course got the green tea variant. I think they have the one with beans in it as well but I just bought the plain one because I do not like beans.
