EXTRA Thankful This Holiday Season with Subway®'s NEW Italian B.M.T.™ Plus!




Take inspiration from Aliza Goco, Carmel Villongco, Gin Panlilio, Kat Maderazo, and Leona Panutat, also known as the "Casa Mamas," who recently celebrated their recent Friendsgiving with Subway!

The Casa Mamas are a group of hodophiles or people who love to travel. These moms all live in the same village and see each other at mass or other community events. They've decided to carpool to and from events by living in the same community. 

They got to know one another more and found out that they've had a lot in common. They then started taking turns hosting breakfast, and the rest is history.

In this short gathering #CasaMamasxSubway, the Casa Mamas teaches us about friendships and how they can enrich our lives in so many different ways. Good friends can teach us about ourselves and challenge us to be EXTRA better. 

They celebrate your successes and stay with you through encouragement and camaraderie even as times get tough. But to maintain such friendship, people must be willing to create a safe space for discussion and listen to different perspectives. #CasaMamasLoveSubway

There's a lot to be thankful about this year, even if the pandemic has significantly disrupted our lives. So tune in and subscribe for more family, friendship, love, travel, and fashion advice by the Casa Mamas! 

The NEW Subway® Italian B.M.T.™ Plus! With More Cheese & Meat!

Friendsgiving is meant to be celebrated with the people closest to you. And nothing brings people together than great food that's loaded with more meat and cheese in Subway®'s Italian B.M.T.™ Plus!

Meet & Greet with Joe & The Anchor

Joe & The Anchor


Indie-pop band Joe & The Anchor started out as an indie rock band in 2014, releasing several albums and singles. In 2018 they decided to start over and switch gears to writing contemporary pop music. With a strong visual style and modern production, Joe & The Anchor delivers energetic guitar-driven pop, defining themselves as a promising act on the Swedish pop scene.


Joe & The Anchor

“Leaving You Now has been with us for a long time. We’ve all been in that situation, when the first real love of your life turns into your first heartbreak. We tried to really capture that feeling when we wrote this song” ~Joe & The Anchor

Joe & The Anchor release new piano ballad ‘Leaving You Now’ - an emotional break-up song about experiencing first love, to grow apart and realizing there is nothing left in the relationship worth fighting for. The singer Joakim's powerful yet emotional voice goes straight to the heart.


Joe & The Anchor


The single is the second one from their upcoming album ‘Coming of Age’ which explores the feelings of growing up, the fragility of life, love, and taking things for granted. Following a difficult few month when the band members had to experience the harsh reality of loss, Joe & The Anchor decided to process the events through music.

V1:
Why Am I, Still Caving In
Why Can’t I, Get Rid Of It,
Our Long Nights I’m Thinking About You,
Maybe If, I Didn’t Know,
Just How Much It Hurts To Go,
I Could Have Put This Behind Me
 
Chorus:
Cause Baby I Don’t Know What To Say,
Cause I Know I’m Losing Any Way,
But I’m Just So Tired Of, This Enemy Inside,
So Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
 
V2:
Why Am I, Back Here Again
Why Can’t I, Just Let Her In,
My Long Nights Without You Beside Me, Oh No
Why Can’t I, Make Up My Mind,
Always Leaving You Behind,
Still I Keep Thinking About You
 
Chorus:
Cause Baby I Don’t Know What To Say,
Cause I Know I’m Losing Any Way,
But I’m Just So Tired Of, This Enemy Inside,
So Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
 
Cause Baby I Don’t Know What To Say,
Cause I Know I’ll Lose You Any Way,
But I’m Just So Tired Of, This Enemy Inside,
So Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
 
Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
 
Darling, 
I’m Leaving
You Now

Chowking now offering Taiwan’s ‘best milk tea’ in the Philippines

Customers can now enjoy one of the world’s best milk tea brands as Chowking will be offering Milksha in select stores in Metro Manila.


Taiwan’s “best milk tea” brand is coming to the Philippines. Chowking, the country’s #1 Chinese restaurant, is now offering the freshness and indulgence of Milksha milk tea.
 
Also known by the brand name Milkshop in Taiwan, Milksha is one of the world’s best milk tea brands. It was voted as the “No.1 Milk Tea Brand” by university students in Taiwan and recognized as “The Best Reviewed” milk tea brand by Daily View, a known online media platform in Taiwan.

“Fresh, Natural, and Handmade Beverages.” ~Peter Huang, Founder of Milksha

Founded by Peter Huang, Milksha is driven by its mission to offer. It achieves this by using natural and fresh ingredients, without any preservatives or chemical additives. Milksha prides itself in using fresh, high quality milk as a base for its beverages.  

From its founding in Tainan City in Taiwan in 2008, this milk tea brand has continued to grow and establish its presence locally and overseas. Milksha now has over 250 outlets, in Taiwan, Hongkong, Melbourne, Vancouver, and Singapore.


Last November 6, Chowking opened its first Milksha counter in Betterliving in Paranaque and saw strong reception for the brand. Milksha will soon be made available in more Chowking stores in Metro Manila.


Now, these same fresh, all-natural Milksha beverages will be exclusively available over the counter and for delivery in select Chowking stores around Metro Manila. 

Last November 6, Chowking opened its first Milksha counter in Betterliving in Paranaque and saw strong reception for the brand. Milksha will soon be made available in more Chowking stores in Metro Manila.


Last November 6, Chowking opened its first Milksha counter in Betterliving in Paranaque and saw strong reception for the brand. Milksha will soon be made available in Chowking stores in SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City, Unciano Center and Marcos Highway in Antipolo City, Fairview Regalado and Roces in Quezon City, Annapolis Albany in San Juan, Bonifacio Stop Over and Petron C5 Diego Silang in Taguig City, and Valenzuela City Hall in Valenzuela City. 

“Our goal is to give Filipinos a taste of what gold standard milk tea should be. We want to offer a unique and satisfying milk tea experience to our customers. With the use of premium ingredients, meticulous preparation process, and the delicious and indulgent taste of Milksha flavors, this new Chowking offering is expected to be a hit with foodies and milk tea lovers alike.” ~Ariane Valinton,  Chowking Milksha Brand Director

Premium flavors 
Chowking is offering five flavors of Milksha drinks, including Honey Pearl Black Tea Latte, Black Tea Latte with Pudding, Valrhona Cocoa Milk, Signature Taro Milk, and Wintermelon Lemon. 


Honey Pearl Black Tea Latte
Like the honey pearls, the black tea used in creating Milksha’s Honey Pearl Black Tea Latte are always freshly prepared on-site. This premium black tea blend, which has an invigorating floral aroma, is finished off with the smoothness of fresh milk. Milksha Black Tea Latte can be topped off with its very own pudding, which is also fused with fresh milk for that soft, smooth, and creamy mouth feel.

Valrhona Cocoa Milk
For its indulgent Valrhona Cocoa Milk, Milksha uses Valrhona cocoa from France. Valrhona is a known high-grade luxury chocolate brand established by French pastry chef Albéric Guironnet. Every cup feels like a rich, and addictive chocolate experience. Far from your regular chocolate drink, Valrhona Cocoa Milk delivers a strong cocoa taste, yet perfectly balanced with sweet and creamy milk. 

Valrhona Cocoa Milk


Signature Taro Milk
Signature Taro Milk is one of Milksha’s top sellers in Taiwan—for good reason! It uses high quality taro from selected regions in Taiwan. With each sip, customers will taste the earthy all-natural flavor of taro blended with rich and creamy milk. 

Signature Taro Milk


Wintermelon Lemon
Milksha’s Wintermelon Lemon boasts of the right blend of sweet and sour.  It is made with sweet, fruity wintermelon syrup brewed from fresh wintermelons and is mixed with the tangy, citrusy flavor of Taiwanese lemon juice. Every drop of this drink leaves a cool and refreshing taste. 

Wintermelon Lemon







Jollibee Group to acquire majority stake in Milksha 
On November 4, Jollibee Group disclosed that it will purchase, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Jollibee Worldwide, Pte. Ltd. (JWPL), a majority stake in the firm that owns Milksha. 
 
Jollibee Group will purchase shares equivalent to 51% ownership in Milkshop International Co. Ltd. (Milkshop) for approximately USD12.8 million. One of the co-founders of Milkshop will continue to retain the 49% ownership of Milkshop. 
 
Chowking is part of the Jollibee Group, one of the fastest-growing restaurant companies in the world.
