The crowd favorite frozen yogurt brand recently released the llaollao Brioche, which spotlights its cold swirl inside a soft, warm, and buttery brioche bun.

La Piazza
With Chef de Cuisine Mattia Stroppa at the helm, Okada Manila's La Piazza is inviting guests to check out its expansive menu offerings—from its beloved handmade pasta dishes to hand-stretched pizza items. A must-try is the Bistecca, which features a premium Australian Black Tyde Angus Tomahawk that's charcoal-grilled to perfection.
Any La Piazza visit wouldn't be complete without wine, so be sure to get something from its award-winning wine library overseen by Sommelier Jose Carlos Tongco. It's complete with wines from vineyards across France, US, Italy, and Spain, and has held the "Best of Award of Excellence" from Wine Spectator for two years in a row.
For the full experience, go for a bespoke experience (P25,000 nett for two persons) at The Chef's Table with a curated 5-course tasting menu paired with wines. Make a reservation via RestaurantReservation@okadamanila.com or call +632 8555 5799 at least seven days ahead.

In case you missed it: Pancake House's All-You-Can-Eat Weekends are back for only P399.
You can enjoy unlimited servings of Spaghetti or Creamy Carbonara with Buttermilk Pan Chicken® Fillet or Best Taco in Town, along with a glass of iced tea. You can even tell them if you want your chicken and taco with some spice, and add P50 to upgrade your drink to soda in can or bottomless iced tea.
The promo is exclusively available for dine-in every Fridays to Sundays until Sept. 28.
Wendy's
We found something that could add excitement to your Wendy's dishes!
If you love the food brand's nuggets, you'd be happy to know you can now enjoy them with other dips aside from its crowd favorite Honey Barbecue. There's the new Classic Buffalo and Honey Mustard, which you can also order for P33 on the side to enjoy with other menu offerings like fries.
The new dips are available in-store, foodpanda, GrabFood, or its website.

ZUS Coffee
Speaking of coffee, ZUS Coffee added three must-try beverages to its menu: Champorado Latte, Buko Salad Espesyal, and Honey Kalamansi.
The hot Champorado Latte was inspired by the Pinoy breakfast topped with pinipig, while the Buko Salad Espesyal (iced) was inspired by the hit buko salad dessert in Pinoy gatherings. But if you're looking for something sweet, tangy, and refreshing, go for the Honey Kalamansi.
