Tea Amo's Hickory Smoked Ribs



Tea Amo is not my usual lunch spot. I'd visit the place only if I'm craving for milk teas but this noon  was different. I remember grabbing cupcakes and wedges from the place but it's my first time to actually taste one of their rice meals.

It's actually nice to visit by lunch because there's only a few people hanging out at the place. It's as relaxing as ever especially when you see a lot of post-its on the wall where a lot of visitors place their doodles. It's simply cute and romantic in a way.



Scarlet Milk Tea
P80 (Large)

Wintermelon is always a safe choice when it comes to milk tea flavors. To veer away from the usual, I've tried Scarlet. It's refreshingly sweet and unique in flavor. Two thumbs up for this milk tea. I'd definitely be willing to shell out P80 for a milk tea of this size and of satisfying taste.

Hickory Smoked Ribs
P145 

Thumbs up. I like the presentation of the rice though the meat does not look so appetizing. In the contrary, I like that it was served in no time and the meat is and savory and spicy I just wish that it's tender as well. It has a fairly equal serving but I think I won't be spending for this again unless the meat is soft because I don't have any problem with its taste.


My next goal would be these very pleasant eye candies. I do hope that they taste as good as how they look. I can't wait devour them all. I'm not into sweets, madalas takaw-tingin lang talaga ako. (haha!)


I gladly ended the day by finishing my milk tea. I must agree when my boyfriend told me that if you're looking for certain kind of food, you must first try those places who specialize in it. For milk teas, Tea Amo will always have a special place in my heart :)

Happy Everyday with Happy Lemon

Last February 23, the first branch of Happy Lemon in Davao, The Peak: Gaisano Mall branch, was finally inaugurated though it has been serving Dabawenyos for almost a year already.

It opened last August 17, 2012 and the idea of a fun and lively place where family and friends can hangout and enjoy their drinks was easily embraced by this city.

Happy Lemon primarily aims to provide a 'fresh tea' lifestyle and that is why they have full concentration in delivering drinks creatively. What they have always promised is an infusion of coffee, tea leaves, cocoa, and lemon with out artificial additives or preservatives. This may definitely make you 'Happy Everyday!' as the tagline of Happy Lemon goes.

All thanks to a group of friends who brought the franchise to Manila and for believing that the Filipino market would love this tea-based drinks. It's popularity in China is now extended to the Philippines.



One of the owners, Chris Tiu himself, even graced the blessing and ribbon-cutting.  A few announcements were also made such as the opening of more Happy Lemon stores nationwide.  March 2013 marks the opening of their stores in SM Lanang and SM Annex while  branches in Ayala Center Cebu and Ayala Centrio in Cagayan de Oro in April.








It was an open bar but liquors weren't served, of course. Unlimited Happy Lemon milk teas for all invited guests. I enjoyed the day, the served snack from Red Mango, the milk tea and most especially seeing Chris Tiu (ang landi!) He transformed Happy Lemon into a 'Happier Lemon' for everybody who attended the event.


This was the first milk tea I extremely savored. Who wouldn't if Chris Tiu himself handed it to you? I hope he comes back and I can't wait for the other branches to open for he might pay another visit soon.

Have you tried their bestsellers? Go for a spin at Happy Lemon and grab a Green Tea with Rock Salt, Lemon Yakult Mousse Spin, Cocoa with with Rock Salt and Cheese or Milk Tea with Oreo Cookie and Cream. Aside from these must-tries, what's your favorite Happy Lemon drink that makes you HAPPY EVERYDAY? :)
