The Speculoos Craze

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ ako rin di nakakaubos ng nutella. Di sya yung type na kaya ko kainin araw araw hahaa!

[tikitakz]

^  same tayo hindi mahilig sa nutella, may nagbigay sa akin dati one big jar hazelnut chocolate ayun nanigas na lang sa ref hanggang ma expire.... Sayang lang

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ if sa chocolates or pang-toppings lang, OK sya. but as spread sa bread, nauumay ako agad

[stormy]

May bagong brand na available sa rustan's suppermarket. May smooth at may crunchy. Letter V ang simula kaso d ko na matandaan d ko kasi masyado pinansin.

A site on FB is selling TJ six for P360 each ETD mid September. Creamy variant.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^^vermeiren ata sis. Saw it somewhere, sa fb i think.

Finally na-try ko na TJ's speculoos creamy cookie butter straight from the jar... Ok naman, unique yung taste because of the cinnamon. Pero I have to eat more of it to see if I'll be addicted to it too like most pinoys.

The sales person who sold the jars to my sister in US told her 'I don't get the fuss about these'... hehe

I agree sis. Same thing with what my Kuya told me when I asked him if may TJ cookie butter dun. He said na di naman daw pinapansin yun dun masyado and it only costs around $3.69 to $5. Haha. Pero sabi ko magpadala pa din siya.

Yung nutella kasi na galing sa US ibang-iba ang lasa than the ones from Europe. Puro tamis ang nalalasahan ko sa US nutella. The ones from Europe (Germany), lasang-lasa ang hazelnuts at di masyadong matamis.

dunno san galing Nutella ko 

[stormy]

^^true sis, at hindi rin masyadong oily.

^ako sis chinicheck ko pero puros canada at sg nakikita ko.

Yun sa canada ang oily masyado naseparate na nga parang peanut butter

@u8mypink, yan nga sis. Almost 400 pesos yun price.

I buy biscoff and Nutella but not for personal consumption. Pasalubong lang sa mga friends and family.

Honestly Hindi ako mahilig but I like Nutella & go Kasi para syang yan-yan. Hehe.. Kaya lang ang mahal almost $2 ($1.77 to be exact). So my question now is, ano kayang brand of breadsticks ang ok I-partner?

I didn't know that they limit TJ. Try ko nga bumili next time. Hehe

[keiko]

overrated! peanut butter pa din

[oktoberfest22]

dunno san galing Nutella ko 

Ang alam ko pag english ang nakasulat sa jar, from US sya. Yung galing sa Europe kasi either German, Italian o kung anuman ang language na nakasulat. Hehe.

If I'm not mistaken din, pag galing sa Europe ang nutella, glass ang jar. Yung galing sa US kasi plastic ang jar na nakikita ko. Same with the ones from Sg.

Para hindi OT ang post ko, I remember when I was studying in the Netherlands, wala pang Speculoos butter. Pero I really, really loved speculoos cookies (minsan ang tawag nila speculaas) even way back then. Yung mga classmates ko na Dutch, baon nila usually sa school ay tinapay na may palamang speculoos cookies. Nilalagyan nila ng butter yung bread, tapos inilalagay nila yung cookie sa ibabaw, tapos another slice of bread with butter on top.

By lunchtime, malambot na yung speculoos cookie na palaman kaya di na mahirap kainin yung sandwich.

Buti naman may nakaisip mag-imbento ng speculoos butter na yan para di na sobrang effort magpalaman ng cookie sa tinapay! 

I first tasted it early last year when my sis brought some from the Netherlands. Crunchy yung iniuwi nya. Sarap!

Rustan's got their speculoos cookie butter VERMEIREN. Hindi naman masarap    Better pa Biscoff

[det060403]

^ mas like ko din Biscoff! I like the texture and yung taste. Lasang cookie talaga.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^^ yikes. Sayang kasi mahal din yun ah.

[snowyice]

^^^for me pinaka okay TJ, then Biscoff then Vermeiren hindi ko pa natikman yung sa s&r

[silverlilac]

we're enjoying the last bottle of Biscoff creamy, very similar taste to TJ's but there's a slight difference. gusto ko next, crunchy variant naman.

[Clair de Lune]

I know it's overhyped but super nasasarapan talaga ako sa Speculoos. I can eat it straight out of the jar but I muster all the self-control I have na hanggang 2 spoonfuls lang or else  Ang sarap din nya gawing topping sa cupcake, chiffon cake or muffins. Sana maging readily available na to dito sa Pinas so I don't have to look for resellers na.

As for nutella naman, I still love it, but I agree with the others na mas madali akong nauumay nito.

saw sa robinson's gale supermarket another speculoos spread. poppies ang brand. may creamy and crunchy variants. made in belgium
