Must-tastes in FamilyMart

These days, it’s so easy to get lost with the myriad of food choices available to people. However, not all of those choices really guarantee satisfaction and a full stomach. In particular, students need to find the right balance between an affordable and a fulfilling meal  that will help them last throughout the school day. Instead of hopping all over Taft trying to decide where to eat, there’s one place you can go that has everything you need. Whether you’re just starting the day, trying to get a meal, or just looking for something to munch on while walking, FamilyMart has something for you. We present a list of the must-try snacks and food from the newest convenience store to hit this side of Agno Street.

Twirl-all-you-can

Their ice cream is the newest taste that’s been added to Taft. Their pistachio and blueberry cheesecake flavors offer a nice alternative to the usual vanilla and chocolate ice cream available anywhere in Taft. You can even mix the two flavors together. The Twirl-All-You-Can comes with a cone and as much ice cream as you can fit in it—if you have the skills to twirl enough of it in without everything falling off. For only 30 pesos, you get as much ice cream as you’d need for dessert; a real bargain, seeing how students have already been filling the store to get a taste of it only a few days after its opening. The ice cream at FamilyMart is definitely a must-try for those passing by.

Chicken meals

Students looking for a surprising lunch will get a kick out of the chicken meal in FamilyMart. Not only is it affordable at P75 for a 1-piece meal and P135 for 2-pieces, but the flavor and serving are what it’s about. With zesty crust, the chicken is definitely worth trying out because of how succulent and scrumptious it is, some things that are missing from today’s plethora of chicken meals. Always served with hot rice, the meal comes with FamilyMart’s delicious gravy that seems familiar to the taste buds, but is actually distinct from the regular, run-of-the-mill sauces in the market.

Japanese Favorites

The newly open convenience store also gives customers a taste of its culture with a large selection of Japanese meals to choose from. They have different choices ranging from sushi, katsudon, oyakodon, teriyaki, cho soba, and more. They come in different combinations of meat and vegetables that cater to anyone’s preferences. What’s more is that most of these variants cost under a hundred pesos and are allowance friendly.

Family Café by UCC

For the many students who need some coffee to wake them up before class or keep themselves going through the night, FamilyMart also offers a nice selection of quality coffee products. They have the UCC cafe americanos, espressos, and lattes at a friendly price to give customers the jolt they need to stay on their feet. If it’s a colder drink you’re looking for, Nescafe shake is worth trying. It is an ice-blended drink with that coffee flavor that can go well with those hot, sunny days. While their coffee selection sounds like the standard menu for convenience stores everywhere, FamilyMart keeps an ace up its sleeves when it comes to the coffee competition. The Japanese convenience store also serves caffeine induced beverages from the famous Japanese coffee manufacturer, Ueshima Coffee Co. or UCC, to serve the students of Taft at a very accessible location.

Black-and-white cookie sandwich

For students looking to fulfil their sweet tooth cravings, FamilyMart is offering a really big one to induce their needs. Called the black-and-white cookie sandwich, this sweet dessert consists of two chocolate cookies serving as buns with a sweet vanilla filling sandwiched in the middle. In itself, the dessert is a complete sweet experience.

Johnsonville Sausages

And last but definitely not the least, is FamilyMart’s one of a kind sausage offering. While conveniece stores all aim to give its consumers a quick fix through a different hotdog flavors, FamilyMart ups the ante by serving the flavoursome and tender Johnsonville Sausages. These are available in different variatns such as smoked, cheese, or garlic, and can be served by itself, with rice, or on a bun. These sausages cost a bit more than the standard hotdog bun from other stores. However, the flavor it gives is definitely worth every cent.
