Orange you surprised?

I've written about Jooz a couple of times here. It's that instant orange juice kiosk in SG that's been a staple and stop every time my travels take me there.

And surprise, surprise. Look what they have in One Ayala?

It's the same product, same format, almost the same price in SG. The name is similar, using "juice" as the inspiration. But this one drops the "i" and just says "Jucebox."

Was in a hurry, though, so wasn't able to try it.

But I'm definitely trying this the next time.

Send me one line

No, this ins't a Spyro Gyra post. But it feels like I'll have one of their songs as a Friday Magic Madness song soon.

This is about Toni's bazaar at One Ayala today.

Dropped by after school, and got there around 11am. And as early as that time, they already had this long line of folks wanting to try Sweet Tones cakes.

It's actually like this in a lot of the bazaars that she joins. And it's not surprising since the cakes are really good. Especially the Ube Bibingka Cheesecake.

Way to go, Toni!

Not Bad

You know you're old when the artist you listened to as a kid is now the subject of a retrospective.

Yes, there's a Michael Jackson mini-exhibit in One Ayala.

Listening to the kids talk about Michael Jackson as if he was some super old person is both amusing and humbling.

Yes, we're old.

(And that's not bad.)

Half hazard

Last year, Mark and I went to Chili's One Ayala and caught their half-price burger promo. 

It was such a busy time! Getting a table was a challenge. People were lined up outside constantly. Servers were rushing back and forth with trays of burgers. But everyone was served efficiently and on-time, including us.

Can't believe that was almost a year ago. Because they're going at it again.

After seeing this sign, we asked ourselves if we'd do the whole half-price burger craziness again. And we thought, "maybe not."
