If there is one thing that can make me visit Starbucks, that wouldn't be their coffee; (because the pressed coffee I make at home is way better than SB's!) but the Banoffee Pie! SB banoffee pie is one of my guilty pleasures. A bit steep at php110 for a small sized pie (6-inch???), it is worth every cent for me.
But when hubs and I went to Tagaytay for a quick breakfast just recently, I ordered the Grilled Chicken with Pesto and Shiitaki Mushroom sandwich for him. And, surprisingly, while I did enjoy my banoffee pie that morning (yes, I had it for breafkast.), his sandwich made me salivate more than my pie! The scent of the pesto filled the entire coffee shop as the barista warmed the sandwich in the micro. After a tiny bite just to taste it, I was almost ready to exchange orders with my hubs!
This is really really great stuff. And healthy, too! I would definitely be back at SB if only to have this again. And soon!
their banoffee is good but i prefer banapple's version :) hmm interesting sandwich. i heard its good but then it has mayonnaise w/c i dont like. but lets see, might try it na rin.
ReplyDeletepinkcookies, i have heard so much about banapple's banoffee. havent had the chance yet. when we went to Ayala Triangle last dec.25, sarado kasi. sayang nga eh.
Deletei dont think this sandwich has mayo. wala yata. thats why i liked it nga. no mayo. tapos, olive oil sha. parang ang pinakadressing nya is the pesto. it is yummy. try mo ha.
Oh I think Banapple's closed if it's Xmas and New Yr! :) Drop by and Im sure you'll like it too. Oh walang mayo? last time kasi it's parang pesto cream e, not the pesto in oil dressing they use :)
Deletesige, will give you update agad as soon as we get to try Banapple. promise yan. ;)
Deleteill check again the dressing kung creamed sha or oild dressing lang. lunok lang kasi ako ng lunok kaya di ko napansin. hahaha...
masarap nga pala yan! dati hesitant ako i-try pero after the first time, naku nagustuhan ko!
DeleteAy sis! Favorite ko ito, super! I can visit SB and order just this, kahit wala nang kape kape. Basta meron dapat nito. ;)
DeleteI love their banoffee pie too, i can finish the plate no sharing, LOL!
ReplyDeleteahahaha, same here, Kitten! absolutely walang hingian. hahaha...
Deleteagreed with banoffee! perfect combi with caramel macchiato! haven't noticed if they have the grilled chicken pesto here though.
ReplyDeletesarap diba, syel! not much of a SB kopi fan. pero yung desserts and sandwiches nila, im definitely a fan. hehehe...
DeleteI had this sandwich one time for breakfast and I love it too. Starbucks has some really great sandwiches. I miss their Ham and Three Cheese, too bad they phased it out.
ReplyDeleteoooh, Guia, i hope they dont phase this one out... yet! not until im sawa na. LOL!
Deletesayang, never got to taste the Ham and 3Cheese. im sure they were so good like you said.
im just recently discovering all the non coffee goodness in Starbucks and liking em.
