Manila Guide Online

It’s the latest food craze in Metro Manila. You see plenty of these yogurt stalls in the malls and you see the different food concoctions and combination for it. Called fro-yo by the hip and the cosmopolitan crowd, frozen yogurt is actually a food staple that became popular back in the 70’s. It’s like ice cream, but it comes with less fat….and because it’s made of yogurt, it has that sour and tangy after taste.

What’s the best fro-yo brand in the metro today? You can actually take your pick, because there are really many options.

Fro-yo addicts look to Pampanga for the best choice. The store is called Cold Spoon located at the Fil-Am Highway in Clarkfield. I have friends telling me it’s the best kept secret in Yogurt-land, and mostly because there is still no branch in Metro Manila (therefore, isn’t heavily commercialized). The store is owned by Koreans, I’m told, but it is managed by Filipino staff.

California Berry in Silver City Ortigas has quite a selection of yogurt toppings that I actually like it. They claim the products are all imported from the States. The serving is small but my tastebuds seem to prefer their yogurt better than most.

I’ve recently discovered White Hat in the Marikina area, specifically SM Marikina. The yogurt apparently comes from Italy, so that it tastes a bit different from the ones I’ve tried (Korean and USA). They have some unique combinations and I have yet to try most of it. But I like the fact that they have huge servings.

Yogurbud is actually one of the first ones to set the trend and I think I’ve only tried this twice. I find their yogurt really, really sour and mix it with frozen fruit, which ruins the consistency.

In Cagayan de Oro, one of its highlights is the River Rafting. The river rafting allows you to play with the currents and enjoy a splash proof adventure with friends and family.

Cagayan River, often called as Cagayan de Oro River, is one of the rivers draining the northern central part of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The river has its headwaters in the Kalatungan Mountain Range found in the central part of the province of Bukidnon. It traverses the Municipalities of Talakag, Baungon and Libona, picking up tributaries along the way. It finally empties into the Macajalar Bay at Cagayan de Oro City in the Province of Misamis Oriental.

The river rafting can be most enjoyed by a group of people and is usually done during the day to see the 36o degree view of the river.

The stretch from Barangay Dansolihon to the city provides you with strikingly beautiful panoramic view of the river rocky walls, untouched vegetation and the sight of the resting haven of monkeys. It has breathtaking rapids that provide the more adventurous with thrills and challenges of rapids intervals not less than 10 – 15 minutes of each other. Cagayan de Oro river has everything that makes for a memorable experience with awesome roar and power of water cascading over rocks and boulders.

Upon Visiting Cagayan de Oro, I made it as my requirement to try the river rafting for a more dangerous yet adventurous day.
