| Gourmet Pao from SM North EDSA |
 |
| Custaroons from Libis |
...tasted them both this week for the first time and loved them!!!
I bought them online (half off from the usual price) from Groupon Philippines last April and decided to redeem them this week. After I redeemed my first voucher for a box of cupcakes last weekend (which turned out to be a disappointment for me), I was hesitant about getting these two...but since I already paid for them, we decided to go and get them anyway. Good thing we did!
The Gourmet Pao became our breakfast (except for the two-year old, who wanted his cereals and choco drink) after a 15-min. steam. I personally loved their wheat buns filled with the not-so-usual fillings like tuna, bacon, cheese, olives, tomato sauce, sisig, scrambled eggs...etcetera. The buns were color-coded, but I never really bothered to look at the list. lol. I just know that I will be buying from them again! Would love to try their vegetarian variants (it wasn't included in the deal)....
The Custaroons, on the other hand, became our dessert. We got the mini custaroons and it was a good thing since it was quite sweet...in a good way. I like eating sweets, but not too much {i must be getting old, LOL} but since these were mini custaroons I easily devoured two...and a half. lol. Love their packaging...so elegant! :)
After my cupcake experience, I told myself I'd steer clear of the deals being offered online again...but no. Silly me, I purchased another voucher for a pizza meal! LOL. Just can't resist good food and sweet deals. ;P

i've wanted to try Gourmet Pao but haven't seen them in the places i go to. th custaroons look delicious--i finished like 20 macaroons in one sitting when i was in Bacolod last month.:p
I've been looking forward to trying yang Gourmet Pao na yan ever since I saw people tweeting about how good they are. Waaahhh. Fine! Eto na, nasa top na ng list ko ng to-eat hahaha.
Yung custaroons, I think I've tried them na from somewhere. I also have a sweet tooth so I super enjoyed this post. Weehhh! :))
thanks, Lani
...yep, you should!
...you'll be going home 'for good'? safe trip! :)
thanks, LM
...you should try them sometime. :)
thanks, blankPixels
...hehehe, i wasn't that keen on trying them out at first, but when i also read some good reviews about them i just know i had to get that voucher! lol. they taste great, specially while still hot.
...have you tried the other products from custaroons? i think they also have ones that are chocolate covered, and i want to try those! hehehe, sweet tooth talaga. ;)
many thanks for playing again, ladies!
appreciate it!
enjoy the rest of the week and the coming weekend! ♥
custaroons look so yummy! i like gourmet pao's Tuna Dekada and Pesto-Veggie on wheat bun :)
Like you, I am very hesitant in purchasing online because I am not so sure of what I am getting. The gourmet pao I think I have seen somewhere, and thanks to what you wrote, I think I might try it out, too.
Those macaroons look so heavenly!
thanks, pinkcookies
...i think i liked their ciao bella (not sure about the spelling), which had the olives and tomato sauce...but all in all, they tasted great!
thanks, Jenn4
...i hope you'll get to try them soon and like it, too!
thanks, Halie
...they were! :)

...yeah, these might sound alien to you...lol.
...the gourmet pao is siopao, which is a bun filled with a savory food mix..while the custaroon is a sweet treat made up of custard and macaroons. :)
