Sharing the J.CO Way

Honestly, we like doughnuts (donut), but we're not really into it.

I think it was Sunday after church (weeks ago) when my friend Michelle first time  asked me if I have already heard J.CO donut. I said, "No, I haven't heard of it." With a smile of excitement and persuasive gesture, she told me as well as Rhea that we must try it and taste the difference.

She simply described J.CO's donuts as not sweet as the other donuts available on the market and this J.CO is located at SM Megamall, Ortigas.

Since we're from Muntinlupa, it is very seldom we go to Megamall. Which is why it is unlikely for us to try this J.CO donut. We prefer going home rather than going to Megamall.

After that conversation, whenever we met her or talked, she always asked me and Rhea if we have already gone to Megamall and tried this J.CO donut.

Two days ago, Rhea and I had a chance to go to Megamall, when we're about to leave Rhea remembered the Michelle and her donut -- that time, we forgot her donut bakeshop. 

So we phone Avel (Michelle's husband) and asked him about the name of this donut bakeshop.

So there it was, J.CO Donuts & Coffee located at Build B of SM Megamall, Ortigas.

Price:
P42/ pc
P230/ half dozen
P350/ dozen
P550/ 2 dozen

When I saw the donuts, I want to buy two dozen, but I bought only half just to say I have tried and see if it is worth of my second visit.

Michelle was right; it is not sweet as the other donut bakeshop have. It has a distinct set of donuts but still have the taste of donut (which make a donut, donut).

Before we completely emptied the box, we took a picture (after we already ate two donuts not more than a minute).

Lastly, I think we'll add donut to our favorites, especially when it opens another branch in Greenbelt, Makati soon. :)

Updated : J.CO MOA - June 29, 2012

We should be watching movie but since Spider Man has all the movie theaters, we went to SM MOA (Mall Of Asia) instead.

We had our dinner at A Venetto Pizzera (one of our favorites) then J.CO for dessert. :)

Buffet 101, Conquered.

Since we heard about the opening Vikings (A buffet restaurant in MOA - Mall of Asia) we've been planning to conquer (our term for dinning) it. Unfortunately, with some unavoidable circumstances, we're failed. I guess it is not yet right time. 

Around 3PM of June 4, I received a SMS from Rhea, reminding me that I owe her a Yakimix treat.

Ok, let's have Yakimix for dinner.

5PM when I fetched in her office. I suggested, instead of Yakimix let's go for Vikings -- hoping that time, we'll conquer it. She agreed, so we went to Vikings - MOA. As walked-in guests, Rhea inquired for available seats. 

Again, it's not yet our time to conquer Vikings. 

We are #49 for waiting guests not including the reserved guests. :(

We almost end-up to the original plan (Yakimix) when we remember our friend told us to try Buffet 101.

Buffet 101, Conquered...

We were in Table No. 5, when all the conquering happened...

Our Second Set...

Rhea was already having her dessert while I was having my 3rd set -- my stomach still has space to be filled, which is why I took advantage to have my 3rd set.  :)



We only tried the crepe for dessert since we both craving for it that time.

Thanks to my lovely wife for preparing the crepe. :))

With a little, fewer choices of buffet (compare to other buffet restaurants), Buffet 101 offers some unique sets of food, which are not available to others (it is for you to find out). Burrrpp!! :)
