Battle Desserts: Mc Donald's vs. Jollibee

After a day's work, i always try to find something to relieve myself of the stress. Since I can not shop everyday (and i must tell you that it's torture since i'm going inside Megamall every night before going home!), i diverted my shopaholic stance to some sweet-fix. at first, i was loving the ice scramble sold at foodcourts -- large scramble with milk powder add-ons for only Php20! (i know i'm such a cheapskate when i started to work for and earn my own money) but one night, i went home late and i missed my scramble night.

on my way home, i decided to drop by Mc Donald's and bought Berry McFlurry and Apple Pie. I never ate apple pies but since i was desperate i tried it. 

so much for being a cheapskate that my sweet-fix cost me Php64.00.

Mini Apple Pie:     Php 25.00

Berry Mc Flurry:   Php 39.00

there goes my sweet-fix

So here it goes!

Anent the Berry McFlurry  -- it is so yummie! if you love blueberry  cheesecake this is it's counterpart in ice cream! and you can taste the graham mixed in the mcflurry. but do not expect for real blueberries though. so the Php39.00 is worth it.

blueberry cheesecake in a cup!

 And for the Mini Apple pie, i had to take pictures of myself since this will make my "Firsts List".

the first bite of apple pie... in my entire life!

there are some apple bits and some sweet gook inside. but i never really enjoyed it. maybe it's because i'm such a fan of apples that i don't imagine eating them in a bread. i just love apples the way they are.

 i loves the picture on the packaging though, it looked yummy. so that will be my first and last bite of apple pie from Mc Donald's.

That's when i decided to compare.
After a week after my McDonald's sweet-fix, i challenged my tastebuds to some Jollibee experience.
So i bought Black Forest Sundae and Peach Mango Pie.

Jollibee sweet-fix

 My Jollibee sweet fix cost me Php57.00.
Black Forest Sundae --    Php 36.00
Peach Mango Zert Pie --  Php 21.00

I forgot to take pictures of the sundae since i finished it already. it's just like your regular sundae with a dash of cherry syrup, some brownie bits and a cherry on top. i loved the fruitiness of the cherry mixed with the choco fudge. so it's a thumbs up for me.

and as for the Peach Mango Pie, it is relatively smaller than the apple pie in Mc Donald's and the peach and mango bits are not really prominent with the sweet gook, but i loved it! and it made my night!

 the verdict:
Price wise:  the sweet-fix at Jollibee is cheaper. But Berry McFlurry has a unique taste that you had to go back for it again.
Taste-wise:  ti depends on my mood i guess. but apple pies will be scrapped off my list for now.

My choice: Jollibee. My tastebuds are naturally Pinoy so to speak. and of course, Jollibee has stayed true in their ad:
