I love ice cream and I love Nutella so when Dairy Queen combined the two things I love … magic happened! Love the gooey, rich and luscious taste of Nutella? So do 10,000 fans of Dairy Queen!
In response to the clamor for this favorite chocolate spread to be its next featured ice cream flavor, Dairy Queen, the world’s most favorite ice cream chain, unveils its newest Blizzard of the Month – the Nutella Blizzard.
The exciting flavor is being introduced after Dairy Queen, as part of its 10th year anniversary celebration, asked its fans on Facebook which brand of chocolate they would like to be the next Blizzard of the Month. From a choice of six top choco favorites, over 10,000 fans voted for Nutella!
Nutella Brownie
Nutella Cheesecake
Dairy Queen’s Fan’s Choice Blizzard of the Month is available in two incredible flavors: Nutella Brownie, a combination of Nutella and chewy baked brownies melded with Dairy Queen’s soft serve; and Nutella Cheesecake, perfect for those who love the sweetness of Nutella and the tanginess of cheesecake. You can enjoy it in a mini size Blizzard cup at P59 and biggest size at P119.
Dairy Queen’s Nutella Brownie is my personal favorite. By adding a little more cash I just add a few walnuts and it is sheer perfection!
Dairy Queen’s 10th Anniversary Activities
Aside from the introduction of Fan’s Choice Blizzard of the Month, Dairy Queen is celebrating its 10th anniversary in the Philippines with a series of activities that include is doing monthly charity activities with the Binibining Pilipinas winners and its #10on10th campaign, where customers can buy the One Ball Ice Cream Cone for only P10 on every 10th of the month.

Are you having a hard time keeping up with your diet plan? Cohen Meals on Wheels will deliver your food to your doorstep! It is convenient, a timesaver and most importantly, effective.
A study published in the medical journal, Obesity Research, suggested that food provision is an effective strategy to weight-loss patients: “Better results might be achieved if more direct approaches were taken to make environmental changes by providing food to participants.”
In the Philippines, one popular food delivery service is the Cohen Meals on Wheels, which is exclusively offered to the followers of the Cohen’s Lifestyle Program, a personalized and rapid weight-loss program through nutrition. The Cohen Meals on Wheels delivers customized food to clients following the guidelines of the Cohen program.
Chef Pixie Sevilla of Cohen Meals on Wheels
“We aim to provide a solution to clients who find it a challenge to prepare their own meals daily,” says Chef Pixie Sevilla. A pastry chef, consultant, food stylist, and food writer, Chef Pixie went through the Cohen program herself before leading the team of chefs who prepare the Cohen Meals on Wheels dishes based on a weekly menu.
“The temptation of clients to cheat mostly comes from the lack of time to prepare their meals, or if they do have time, they tend to prepare the same meals over and over again. With Cohen Meals on Wheels, we make sure that we prepare their meals accurately and we plan the menu in such a way that they will look forward to it every day and will enjoy eating them as well,” she elaborates.
A growing number of clients have found Cohen Meals on Wheels to be an answer to their needs, including Dr. Ryan Capitol, an obstetrician-gynecologist and assistant professor. Dr. Capitol weighed more than 300 lbs. and suffered from hypertension when he enrolled in the Cohen program.
Dr. Ryan Capitulo, an obstetrician-gynecologist and assistant professor, lost 88 pounds in 4.5 months with Cohen Meals on Wheels.
Like most clients, he did not have a knack for cooking so he ordered food from Cohen Meals on Wheels to follow his personalized meal plan. “I don’t know how to cook and I don’t have the time to prepare my own meals. Cohen Meals on Wheels has definitely helped me follow my meal plans and lose weight.”
Aside from convenience, Dr. Capitol also said that buying food from Cohen Meals on Wheels was cheaper compared to his usual food expenses. “Oftentimes, I was spending 3,000-5,000 pesos just for food before I started Cohen. What’s more, the dishes taste excellent, considering the guidelines of the Cohen program.”
Happy and satisfied with the Cohen Meals on Wheels service, Dr. Capitulo was not deprived of delicious food while following his personalized Cohen meal plan. Most importantly, his weight has also dropped. He lost 88 pounds in 4.5 months.
As for Chef Pixie and the people behind Cohen Meals on Wheels, they are continuously looking for new recipes to add in the menus. Here are some samples of what you will find the their menu:
They are also considering the possibility of a larger delivery scope. “There are some inquiries that we can’t cater to yet because of the area they are in, especially in the major cities outside Metro Manila.”

In a world filled with homo sapiens with stories of homo superiors, Pizza Hut brings to us a pizza superior … the 18″ Xtreme blowout pizza!
Pizza Hut’s 18” Blowout Pizza
The Pizza Hut blowout pizza is superior in every way … superior in size, superior in quality, superior in price, superior in taste! And best of all, it is big enough to share with your family and friends. Think of it as a party pizza. That’s how I see it. 😀
Imagine, if you will … one VERY BIG pizza with 4 flavors on it … Hawaiian (for those who like pineapples on their pizza), Supreme (their classic flavor), Roast beef (yum, yum!), and Sausage and Bacon (come on! Who doesn’t love bacon? :D) With all those flavors in one thick crust, how can you go wrong? The way they slice it, this pizza cuts up to 12 generous slices. Personally, though, I would prefer if they cut it in squares or in a spider cut. That way more people can enjoy all the flavors instead of just 3 slices per flavor.
The Pizza Hut Xtreme Blowout Pizza can be purchased ala carte at P659 or with the Xtreme blowout feast, good for a group of six (6) or more. At P999, P1,299, and P1,499 these Xtreme blowout feasts are very affordable. Photos below are taken from the Pizza Hut website.
If you choose to get your Xtreme blowout pizza ala-carte an add-on of just P99 will get you any of the following selections:
- 2 single servings of spaghetti bolognese
- 2 piece fried chicken with rice
- 1 family size slingers (that’s potato slices to the confused)
- 1.5 liters of Pepsi or Mountain Dew
Movie Tie-in
This unique pizza was created as a tie-in with the upcoming movie from 20th Century Fox, X-Men: Apocalypse. Showing here in the Philippines on May 18, 2016, the Xtreme blowout pizza is a great complement to X-Men: Apocalypse. Here’s a sneak peek of the movie, X-Men: Apocalypse.
Is that all they are offering? A pizza?
The Pizza Hut blowout pizza is already amazing but Pizza Hut elevates their game even more. What more does Pizza Hut have in store for us?
Xtreme blowout special collectible pizza boxes
Let’s start with collectible Xtreme blowout pizza boxes. You read it right … collectible. These beautifully printed boxes would look good mounted on a wall as posters, don’t you think?
The winners of the 2016 Bb. Pilipinas with Mr. Raymund Nobleza, Marketing Officer-in-Charge for Pizza Hut, Mr. TH Lim, Chief Operating Officer of Pizza Hut, and Mr. Tony Rulloda, Marketing Director of 20th Century Fox holding up the collectible Xtreme blowout pizza boxes.

Selfie with Ronz aka Magneto and the limited edition Magneto helment
For the presscon we were served by mini versions of Magneto, Psylocke (which she pronounced SKY-LOCK, LOL! I guess she does not really know her character) and a female version of Archangel.
These youngsters are so cute! The tallest of them (Ronz aka Magneto) barely reached my eyebrows. 😀 At the end of the presscon I managed to take a selfie with him holding the limited edition Magneto helmet. 😀
Here we our in our group pic with our mini X-Men.

Chocolate with banana filling? I’ve had banoffee pies so the taste of chocolate and banana combined offers no surprises. Same could be said for orange. There are many chocolate brands that offer orange flavored chocolate? But watermelon? That is unusual indeed! Even though watermelon is often offered in a fruit fondue I must confess I have never tried it because, well … it’s water. In a fruit. With chocolate. So it’s watered down chocolate, right? I couldn’t be more wrong! And Villa del Conte challenges us to experiment with their fruit and chocolate summer offerings.
Villa del Conte brings summer into our tastebuds
Savor the taste of summer as Villa del Conte brings you its fruit-flavored chocolates! Go bananas this sunny season with Villa Del Conte’s milk chocolate with banana cream filling; beat the heat as you bite the refreshing milk chocolate with watermelon cream filling; and freshen up with the taste of citrusy dark chocolate with orange cream filling.
Enjoy these sweet treats at Villa del Conte stores at Greenbelt 5, Century City Mall, Shangri-la Mall, SM Megamall, Resorts World, Alabang Town Center, and Robinson’s Magnolia.
For bulk orders, please contact 893-2575 or 621-6101.
