Thank God for McDonald's! :D
I thought the lady endorser of Etude House is Sandara Park. I thought right. This Korean cosmetic brand has invaded the Philippines. I'm a loyal user of The Face Shop, another Korean cosmetic brand, and I have been ignoring Etude House.And then one day...
I'm on a hunt for a Blemish Balm Cream (BB Cream) and I've been reading very good reviews about Etude House's BB Cream. Luckily, there is a branch in SM Masinag. I stepped in the store and they greeted me, "Welcome, Princess" hahaha I like that!
I bought their bestseller Precious Mineral All Day Strong BB Cream #2. I must admit, I fell in love with this the first time I used it. Feels great on my skin. I just don't like the dispenser. I'd rather have this in a squeeze tube. I also got a freebie (yes, I'm a sucker for freebies) -- Pomegranate Face Mask.
I also got myself a Pink Membership. This is free for a minimum purchase of P500. The perks of having a Pink Membership Card are 2% rebate for every P100 purchase and exclusive invites to promos and events.
I will definitely keep shopping at Etude House. I've actually checked out their website and listed all I want to buy for myself and give as gift to friends.
I've been seeing O'Pollo whenever I go to St Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City. We need to get some ice for my injectables and there is no available parking in front of 711. We decided to park at O'Pollo. It's lunch time and lots of parking slots! I think it's inappropriate if I do not buy anything.
I checked out what O'Pollo has to offer. We just had our very late breakfast at Cafe France I don't think there is enough space in my stomach for lunch. I ordered half chicken, smashed potatoes and gourmet coleslaw to go.
The aroma of the grilled chicken filled the car as we drove home. The chicken does not come with the regular gravy sauce. The dip choices are Peri O' (spicy), Preg O' (sweet), Garlic O' (garlic), Tangy O' (sweet and spicy) and the Lemon and Herb sauce. I chose Peri O'.
Verdict:
The chicken is somewhat dry. Smells good but tasted different. Not your usual grilled chicken. The Peri O' dip I chose is very spicy but I liked it.
The smashed potatoes come with mushroom gravy. Not velvety, somewhat chunky. Got a funny sweet taste. Ate a quarter of the cup.
The gourmet coleslaw tasted weird though I was able to finish this one.
Over all, we did not like what we ordered. I guess I was expecting the food to taste like Kenny Rogers or Pollo Loco.
