Cheetos is a favorite snack for many people, my sister and her kids among others. Whenever I buy a bag of Cheetos I often get the Cheddar Jalapeño flavor ’cause I like that little bit of bite.
Taco Bell has been experimenting with mixing snacks into their menu for quite some time. Remember what they did with Doritos just a while back? For this “experiment” their think tank must’ve said … “what would happen if we combine a cheesy quesadilla with Cheetos?”
Cheetos + Quesadilla = Cheetos Quesadilla
For the first time in Taco Bell’s history, two of your much-loved favorites come together to make an irresistibly good and even cheesier pair!
Always with a flair for giving new and exciting treats to its customers, Taco Bell launched its latest offering Cheetos Quesadilla’ in an exclusive media event on November 23 at Taco Bell’s flagship branch in Gateway Mall at the Araneta Center in Quezon City. Bloggers and members of the press satisfied their hankering for cheese as they tried out this unique and exciting product exclusively available at #TacoBellPHL.
The Cheetos Quesadilla Combo
The new Cheetos Quesadilla, priced at P129 and P169 when ordered combo, is a combination of grilled soft tortilla filled with Taco Bell’s signature three-cheese blend and your favorite crunchy puffed cornmeal snack, Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño. The launch of Cheetos Quesadilla is just the beginning of a slew of exciting promos that await Pinoy foodies this Christmas. Cheetos’ official mascot Chester Cheetah also made an appearance at the launch.
Speaking of promos, #CatchChesterCheetah as he visits Taco Bell stores this holiday season, snap a photo with him, and post it on lnstagram using the official hashtag #TacoBellPHL and #CatchChesterCheetah and you might just win an lnstax Mini. SMILE! 😀
Check out Taco Bell Philippines’ lnstagram @TacoBellPHL for more information.
Did you know that …
Cheetos are scientifically designed to be addictive.
Cheetos’ airy texture melts in such a way that it actually fools the synapses in the brain so that you don’t realize calories are being consumed!
Weight watchers beware! If you aren’t careful the pounds/kilos are going to start piling up and before you know it you will look like Cheetos. 😛 Everything in moderation, folks!
Taco Bell’s Cheetos Quesadilla is made with the addictive Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño
Made with Taco Bell’s signature 3 cheese blend with a spicy kick of Cheetos Crunchy Jalapeño wrapped in a warm tortilla makes this an addictive treat. You can’t help but keep asking for more – trust us!
Cheetos Quesadilla is only available in Philippines!
Yes you heard it right. No other Taco Bell in the world has offered a Cheetos Quesadilla, only in the Philippines.
Taco Bell and Cheetos has always been good friends
Earlier this year, Taco Bell Canada released their own version of a Cheetos Crunchwrap.
The Cheetos Crunchwrap … available only in Canada
Satisfy your stubborn cheese craving and sink your teeth into Taco Bell’s all-new flavor with a crunchy kick, ‘Cheetos Quesadilla.’ For more updates, visit Taco Bell’s official website at www.tacobell.com.ph or follow on Facebook and lnstagram.

Philippine coffee (locally sourced coffee) can compete with coffees from other parts of the world … this is something that most people do not seem to be aware of. Most filipinos are aware of the barako coffee from Batangas, known for its kick and flavorful aroma. A few are familiar with the Bukidnon coffee grown by the trancendental monks.
And then there is Bo’s Coffee — a staunch supporter of homegrown coffee, this Christmas they are promoting the coffee of Benguet.
Christmas Treat at Bo’s Coffee
This Christmas season try out the Christmas offering of Bo’s Coffee.
The Benguet Minty Cold White Brew and the Queso de Bola cheesecake are the perfect pairing.
The Benguet Minty Cold White Brew and the Queso de Bola cheesecake are the perfect pairing.
The Christmas Beverage
Given a choice between hot or cold brewed coffee I often opt for the cold brew. My reason? I’ve burned my tongue more times than I can count when drinking freshly brewed hot coffee. 😀 I guess it is safe to say I’m not very patient, hehehe.
This made Bo’s Coffees Benguet Minty Cold White Brew the perfect drink for me. Benguet coffee is not very acidic and the sprig of mint made this iced beverage extra refreshing.
Iced coffees are often sickly sweet. In contrast, the Benguet Minty Cold Brew’s sweetness level was right on the money. As my cousin, Teddy Boy would have said when he was a kid … not to sweet, not too bitter, just right on the groove.
The Christmas Cake
The Queso de Bola Cheesecake
To the Filipino family Christmas = queso de bola. And most Christmas celebrations come with cheesecake. Therefore, it makes so much sense to make a cheesecake made with Queso de bola.
Queso de bola is a sharp, hard cheese, wrapped in red wax often served with ham at noche buena and other Christmas parties. Made into a cheesecake, this luscious dessert is tart and sweet at the same time.
In my personal opinion, the Queso de Bola Cheesecake could even be too sweet which is why it pairs up perfectly with the Benguet Minty Cold White Brew. Try it yourself and let me know what you think.
Introducing: The Bo’s Coffee Starter Kit
The Bo’s Coffee Starter Kit
The Bo’s Coffee starter kit contains the following:
- clear glass cup wrapped in a cosy
- V60 dripper
- paper filters
- booklet with recipes inside
- a small pouch of coffee grounds
- postcards
- gift bag made of indigenous material like a sack cloth with Bo’s logo stitched on it
It will be available for sale early next year. In the meantime, how can we avail of this kit?
Download the Bo’s Coffe app on the Appstore and Google Play.
The Bo’s Coffee app can be downloaded from both the appstore and on Google Play.
The app is akin to a stamp card or sticker book. With every visit where we purchase food or a drink worth P250 we show the app to the barista and they “shoot” the barcode to register the sale. Each registered sale is equivalent to one voucher used plus points!
On our 10th voucher we get a free Bo’s Coffee cup. On the 15th voucher we can get the Starter Kit … for free! Yey! Yes, I said free!
The stamp card concept is not new. Many establishments do this … from sandwiches, donuts, chinese restaurants … it is their way of tracking loyal customers.
Whether you are a loyal customer or just trying it out, make your way to Bo’s Coffee this holiday season and try out their holiday offerings.
Available in stores now is the new Tiramisu Delight, a rich tiramisu and espresso ice cream wrapped with an espresso chocolate flavored ribbon and tiramisu cake pieces.
A perfect treat to beat the summer heat is Butterscotch Toffee Blondie, which is made with butterscotch toffee pieces and brownie bits swirled with a toffee ribbon.
Upcoming flavors include Dulce de Leche ice cream swirled with a dulce de leche flavored ribbon (available in April) and Salted Chocolate Truffle Crunch, chocolate ice cream with a salted chocolate cookie crunch ribbon and chocolate flavored truffle pieces (available in May).
Apart from ice cream cakes, you can also treat your special someone to Baskin-Robbins’ indulgent beverages, frozen delights and a wide variety of ice cream flavors.
