FOOD CRAVES: Dairy Queen



I think everyone loves to eat. Lalo na tayong mga Pilipino. Kumakain nga tayo ng higit pa sa tatlong meal! At minsan lahat yon may rice pa! (My host parents in Wisco knew it. It's one of our trade mark as Pinoy daw?? lol.). We have merienda sa umaga at hapon. Kaya nauso ang recess break 1 and 2 sa high school. At siyempre meron dn tinatawag na mid-night snack. Mahilig din kasi tayo sa junk foods gaya ng chips kaya pag pumunta ka sa mga tindahan sa kung saan-saan laging may tig-pipiso ka na mabibili! At kung tinatamad ka pumunta sa tindahan meron mga naglalako diyan. Pero take note, bihira ako kumain ng street foods kasi, medyo maarte to tiyan ko. Diarrhea ang aabutin ko sa mga isaw-isaw na yan! Hindi naman ako sosy.. pero kung maaari yun clean foods. Yun lutong luto.. hindi pa ata pumasok sa isip ko na kumain ng hilaw! yuckness! haha.. At sana yun mantika hindi 7 times na nagamit! JUSMEH!


Kaya eto naisipan ko na i-blog ang tungkol sa mga pagkain. Sa totoo lang kasi mahilig ako kumain. Timawa na kung timawa. Try to ask my kapamilya, kaya kong umubos ng isang bandeha ng fried rice! HAHA! Kaya di na ako magugulat kung tumaba ako ng bongga. Kaya noon nung nag diet ako, AY! nako.. skip kung skip! Di talaga ako kakain, para lang pumayat. Di kasi mabilis ang metabolism ko. Kaya patayan ang pagdidiet. Lalo na nun nagpunta ako sa Amerika. Wala na ako nagawa. Nag boom boom ang weight ko! At isa sa mga dahilan ay ang DAIRY QUEEN! I stayed sa Dowe Family, sa 1219 Homestead Rd., Beaver Dam Wisconsin. It's only a few blocks away ay matatanaw mo na ang Dairy Queen. Maliit lang yung branch doon. Pero talagang pinipilahan ng mga beaver dam people! Kilala din kasi ang Wisconsin sa milk and cheese products. Kaya kahit malamig ang panahon doon, they still can't resist ang ice cream. And we can't deny the fact that we Filipinos are also fond of sweets like ice cream lalo na sa weather natin.


My host sister from Brazil, named Paula Milan asked me out to eat DQ. Kahit gabing-gabi na tumuloy kami. Naglakad kami..suot ang jacket namin. Kasi talaga naman malamig. At nang marating na namin ang 1501 N Center St.. ayun na ang maliwanag na logo ng Dairy Queen! Medyo mahaba ang pila. Isang buong pamilya ata ang bumibili. Pero okay lang sa amin ni Paula, kasi may mga pogi! HAHA! Plus, nag-isip pa kami kung ano ang bibilhin. Ever since naman maka blizzard ako..so I tried yun chocolate milkshake. I loved it! Kaya I always save money for it. So after school, nagpapadaan kami ni Paula sa DQ drive-thru. DQ is so sweet kaya nakakalimutan namin yun feeling lonely and homesick. It's one of our sad reliever.


Tuwing luluwas naman ako, di pwedeng walang DQ! When I had this get-together malling with my high school friends. We went to Trinoma and SM North. And we didn't missed DQ! I ate chocolate chip cookie dough blizzard. Yum! Yum!






Last March, we, mass comm peeps went over to ABS-CBN to watch as a live audience in Showtime. Right after, we went to SM North. At kahit busog much sa Tokyo-tokyo lunch, my boyfriend and I still managed to have DQ!





And see how he LIKED it! HAHA! He ordered Oreo cookies and Cream Blizzard.




Dairy Queen offers a lot of variety soft serves like, dipped cones, sundae, blizzards, milkshakes, Royal Treats, waffles, Moolattes, and even cakes. In the U.S. they even offer hamburgers, french fries, drinks and other snacks. Masarap siya. Sweet kung sweet. Kaya I will recommend na have water with you when you eat any DQ treats. And for me the best ang BLIZZARD! Wag lang yun my nuts..pero masarap din daw yun. I just don't prefer yung may nuts sa ice cream and chocolates.


According to Bright Hub website, ang isang chocolate chip cookie dough small cup blizzard ay may total na 590 calories, with 270 of those are coming from fat. Plus this whopping ice cream has 59 grams of sugar, na sa isang coke in can ay may 39 grams lang. Though with calcium content may 35% ang isang small na DQ blizzard. We see it that they contain a lot of calories and sugar. So it's okay if we indulge ourselves these DQ treats moderately. Next time I will probably try yun waffle and yun banana split. :)


How I wish we have Dairy Queen here in Baliwag, just like as how much we wished for Starbucks! :)


We have daw here just like DQ version located sa tapat ng watson sa may SM Baliwag.. Swirls ata yun name. I tasted it and I don't like it. Di siya firm madaling malabnaw. Parang may kulang sa mixture. The best pa din ang DAIRY QUEEN! :))
