The Challenge, Now A Promise To Be Fulfilled by Quim's Cake

I'm The new administration was indeed a surprising event in Philippine history with President Duterte winning with more than 16 million votes. However it was a very stressful season for everyone with the heated arguments and propaganda that went with all parties.

One of the most talked about event that was also seen on social media was the 'bet' made by Jack Labang who owns Quim's Cake located along Tomas Morato. He posted that he will give out 5 Million (pesos) worth of cakes if Duterte wins the presidency. Well as we know, Rody Durterte did win the election and was sworn in last June 30.

Now with his victory, the promise was recalled by the supporters if Chef Labang will be true to his promise. Interestingly, Chef Jack answered back to all that he will give out 5 Million cakes, although it will be given by batches and in an organized way.

FOOD STOPS: Banapple

Banapple

Connecticut, San Juan

Though there is no such thing as a Banapple, it has become a brand that people would go to to enjoy quality and hearty meals and gets customers coming back for more. I first knew Banapple as a pastry shop and nothing else. But I was impressed by the fact that they also offer meals. And when I say meal it is a full meal, you won't be disappointed.
