Cinnamon rolls are generally made out of five fundamental ingredients: dough, margarine, cinnamon, brown sugar, and icing. Despite the fact that most cinnamon roll recipes use the same fundamental ingredients, none come close to competing with the perfection that is Ivy's Bakeshop.

Christa Vega, Inha Arceo, AJ Bacar, Elijah Alonzo, Jewelle Villarisco, and Rio Sumalinog on the Art of Pursuing Your Passion
Filipinos love to consume art. Paintings, comics, drawings, crafts, and other art forms have always been a part of Filipino culture. However, when it comes to pursuing art, people will most likely frown and doubt your decision to pursue your passion. How do we get over these kinds of challenges? This is what Indie-Co tackled in The Art of Pursuing Your Passion: A Roundtable Discussion with Filipino Artists, which was held on Zoom and streamed on Indie-Co’s YouTube channel last April 30, 2022.

Product Review | Introducing the Perfect Snack, Colin's Hamdesal!
Colin's Manila was right in describing itself as a “crafter of artisanal, quality, and delicious homemade ham”. Although I am not a big fan of ham, I truly enjoyed Colin's hamdesal. In a box of 4s, there are four different flavors - creamy, cheezy, special, and classic. Each hamdesal was soft, warm, and had the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and salty. Even though I embarrassingly ate four different types of hamdesal in one sitting, there was no “umay” factor and it's amazing when paired with coffee.

Product Review | Goodies That Greet You - Iris Bites Chocolate Chip Cookies
Iris Bites' Chocolate Chip Cookies are definitely unique, at least for me. Its cute beady eyes really stood out to me. I mentioned in my previous review that you kinda make 'eye contact' with the cookie when you first bite into it. My friends would even joke that the cookies are sentient beings. Despite that, my family and I definitely enjoyed the experience.
