Things just got even hotter between the rising loveteam McCoy de Leon and Elisse Joson, fondly called McLisse, when the two went out on a surprise date in McDonald’s after they attended a high-profile suit and tie event last Saturday night. Fans were thrilled when McCoy shared the good news on his Twitter account that the night was not yet over as Elisse had agreed to an after-party date with him. The glammed-up pair was then spotted inside McDonald’s Makati Cinema Square, standing in line at the counter for their midnight McSpicy meals.

Through a team-up with McDonald’s, McLisse gave fans the chance to be a part of the date in the almost 15-minute Facebook Live session. Over 15,000 viewers tuned in to the video aired on McDonald’s Facebook page, where they cozied up and shared their first impressions with each other, revealed each other’s favorite traits, and recalled the night’s exciting moments, all while munching on their McSpicy and fries. Seeing the two in this surprise session was definitely worth giving up a few minutes of sleep for.

Here are some of their dates’ most kilig-worthy moments:

Johnny Rockets invited me and my son for their bloggers' event which was held in Eastwood.  Though it was quite far from our home but still we manage to go there since it's a bonding moment for me and for my eldest son, Maki.  Too bad that Daddy and Gelo wasn't with us to make this event another family bonding but anyway it's a Mom and Son bonding moment this time.
Johnny Rockets offers a dining experience from a typical American-style diners, it is an international restaurant chain that provides food, fun and friendliness reminiscent of feel-good Americana. Both the exterior and interior are quintessentially American. The fixtures, the decor, the tiled floor all memorialize the era of feel good American with some Coca Cola memento of various kind. The jukebox near the entrance is a classic.  I only saw this kind of diner on movies but thanks to Johnny Rockets I was able to see personally.
Maki was delighted when they welcomed us with their summer shakes sampler which made us taste it first before going into further explanation and details on what the shakes are made of.  For my son, Maki, he loves the taste of the purple colored shake.  

Aside from the sampler they also served their Original Burger which comes with fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, chopped onions, relish, pickle, mustard & mayonnaise with free fries.  Well, for me the burger is just enough because it is really one of the big servings that we've encountered.  If you're not much of big serving, Johnny Rockets is not for you but if you're in for a really big surprises and treats then you can immediately head on to one of their stores to get a burger, fries and shakes.  Loved it!

When it comes to burger, most people would think about it as a comforting meal and perhaps the safest choice when craving for something fast yet satisfying. However, many will agree that not all burgers are created the same, purveyors can be partial over a tried and tested recipe with American appeal coupled with an awesome classic taste that stands out.

Back in 2000, there weren’t really too many options for something one may call an affordable legendary burger—one is left with a choice of either having a basic burger in a fast food or very expensive hotels for something fancy. This was then the beginning for good friends Tony Yap and Dondi Lazaro to profusely experiment for their own concoction. After several trials, all signs point to build their own burger brand especially when both of their friends and families gave their seal of approval with their unique recipe discovery.

Although the evolution of gourmet burger didn’t happen overnight, there was surely a good market for foodies who have grown weary of the typical offerings and go beyond the usual flavors but still affordable. Now, food lovers in the Philippines have long known that good quality burger is a must-have item in a casual-style restaurant.


Wham was near an instant hit in its first Quezon City branch for capturing the elements of what an outstanding burger should be: huge, hearty, and tucked with impeccably good beef. Celebrated for its never frozen patty perfection, the secret is also in its grilling equipment—a hybrid of electric and gas with pure charcoal on top. Cooking under the coals not only creates a savory, smoky flavor with an invitingly charred exterior, it rounds out an incomparable juicy texture in it’s strictly one third pound, certified no extender robust beef with 80-20 lean and fat. With its no short cuts, homemade-style formula that’s far from a typical fast food style or too expensive hotel burger, Wham is a bold version that sums up to affordable gourmet quality burger.

Prides itself for introducing a 100% Filipino burger brand with outstanding product and service, most people perceive that Wham is an international franchise. “The initial simplicity of the food and items inspired from my international travels very much worked. Along the way, we had to adapt to Filipino taste, like adding Spaghetti in the menu because kids loved it and wouldn’t eat anything else. And the major draw about our burger is how we cook our patty. We use the old-fashioned real charcoals”, Tony shares. While its standard speaks for the quality of the ingredients, Wham defied all expectations by introducing something far from a mundane category.

The colorful, comic-inspired interiors of the outlet is a welcoming surprise to the customers from the very beginning since it lends a fun, awe-inspiring vibe which eventually became the signature feel and look of the stores. Interestingly, one of its flagship item “Kapow” was adopted from a comic scene to denote a sound effect.


After Dondi and his family relocated to Cabanatuan, Wham officially became a family-owned business of Tony Yap with wife Camille, brother-in-laws Joby and Kiko with sister-in-law Liza. It was the then the beginning of its expansion; currently with four branches including it’s first-ever Katipunan QC, SM North Edsa The Block, Molito Alabang and Mall of Asia.

With no bells and whistles or complicated ingredients such as MSG, Wham Burgers remain on top of mind when questing for an affordable delicious burger with real beef that one can taste. Another factor that gives this classic favorite a breed apart? Side choices such as potato wedges or bite-sized chicken are satisfying and as flavorful as the mains which amps up the burger eating experience.

 Burger King launched their newest addition, the Chicken Crisp Fillet Sandwich last August 17, 2013.  As to most Burger King lover and patrons we all know that Burger King is the original home of the Whopper Burger and now they are venturing for something new with their line of products.



Burger King Chicken Crisp Fillet Sandwich, the fresher, juicier, more "Fillet-vorful" chicken sandwich in the market.  Each Chicken Crisp Fillet Sandwich has a whole muscle fillet made  of 100% real chicken.

According to Burger King, they make it more "Fillet-vorful" as it is freshly prepared daily inside the store.  They are hand-pressed, breaded and immediately deep-fried to crispy, juicy perfection.  Burger King uses transfat-free oil to create that crispy coating and make sure that all the juiciness of the chicken is locked inside.


The Sandwich comes in two sauces; the sweet and tangy Honey Mustard and the zesty Garlic Mayo with real garlic bits.  You have the option on which sauces will pour in to your sandwiches.  The fillets are put between a warm, toasted bun and topped with crisp, fresh and green lettuce.

I like the Honey Mustard, a little bit of sweetness combine with the taste of mustard matches the juiciness of the chicken. Much better if you have it warm and hot to really taste and enjoy  the more "Fillet-vorful" taste of the sandwich and take note it is just P55 only.

You can combine the Chicken fillet with regular fries and regular coke for  P85 and if you want to combine it to a Float and Fries just pay P100.   So more options and more Fillet-vorful sandwiches to enjoy.



Available in all Burger King Stores in Metro Manila or call the Burger King Delivery hotline at 667-7171. So visit the nearest Burger King in your area.

Hi readers do you want something new for your taste buds?  Do you want to have a bit of kick with your usual burger?  Well, finally here's something new from McDonald's, a spicy and tasteful approach of chicken.  McDonald's McSpicy Chicken is the name and I was fortunate to be the first ones to taste the spiciness that it offers before it was offered to the public.


McDonald's McSpicy Chicken is one of the burgers that you'll definitely would want to have in your meal when dining at McDonald's.  Here's what I've experience about this new burger from McDonald's.  I've experienced the taste and spiciness.  It is indeed spicy and it really kicks for me.  I'm not much of a spicy eater so this is really spicy enough for me but according to Ms. Margot Torres, Vice President for Marketing and Communications of Golden Arches Development Corporation (McDonald's Philippines),, the spiciness of the chicken burger can be toned down by matching it with French Fries in which I did and it works.  With buns and the veggie on it, makes it taste good.   Take note readers, this burger is really a good stuff to make tummy full.  It even made me burp.


McSpicy will be a sure hit among Filipinos together with its blend of flavors that's just right for the Pinoy Taste.  Take your satisfaction a notch higher with 100% juicy whole chicken meat, seasoned with just the right amount of choice spices, topped with fresh crunchy lettuce and flavorful dressing, all in perfectly toasted sesame seed bun.   Each mouth watering bite comes with a kick that will tickle your tongue just right.



So visit the nearest McDonald in your place, try and enjoy McSpicy a la carte for only PhP80, you can pair it also with a regular fries and drink for only Php115 or enjoy it with medium fries and drink for PhP135.
