I LOVE BREADTALK!

My love for breadtalk started when my brother gave me one of his favorite pasalubong which he bought from the Breadtalk store outlet. I started to have a bit with one of its product which has a sweet, delicious and spicy taste. Its a bread with sweet and spicy cornedbeef filling. I am not a bread lover before but when I started to taste some of the Breadtalk products, I began to like breads specially those you can only buy from the Breadtalk store.

HOT CHIC®

HOT CHIC®

 Chef Itaru was having a well deserved holiday on a Sunny Greek Island. The blue sky and the lapping waves all had a hypnotic effect on him. He feell into a peaceful slumber on his sun-chair. When he awoke, his cheeks were burning from the sun! Going about with this new glow, Grecian women flocked to his exotic 'toasted' charm! To celebrate his stroke of 'cheeky' luck, he created the Hot Chic. So, the moral of the story? Leave your sunblock at home at your next holiday.

KONICHIKUWA

"Konichikuwa" is the first Japanese wordI learnt during my travel. Nothing brings a smile faster to other than a simple greeting with a touch of sincerity. Just like this crowd pleaser I created, its flavourful toppings of Japanese fishcakes with cheese will have you smiling.

CHOCO ICE SCRAMBLE

•  Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
