Ayala Triangle Gardens Christmas Lights Show, Golden Spoon

In the last couple of months I've lost my urge for frozen yoghurt, perhaps due to the emergence of Serenitea . However, due to some Facebook posts, I've noticed the growing popularity of the Christmas Lights Show in a new place called the Ayala Triangle (which is actually the field behind Makati Stock Exchange). After Christmas, I went with J and some friends to check the area out. We were supposed to eat at Wee Nam Kee. Sadly we were No. 45 in the waiting list, and after an hour the queue has moved from No. 11  to No. 15! So no dinner at Wee Nam Kee for sure! To think we were there by 6PM!

Anyways, here are pics of the Christmas Lights in the Ayala Triangle. It shows every 30 minutes form 6-8PM everyday, until when in 2011 I'm not too sure. It's really nice to watch, laser and fog and music are involved, though nothing super fabulous. But it's really great for photo ops! Check it out!

It's much prettier in person =D

My friends and I were able to take a lot of nice shots with that as the background. A lot of people were there, and most of them walked from Glorietta (it's about a 10-minute walk. I walked there a few days later with our staff). But not uncomfortably full. Near it, at the center of the Stock Exchange Building, was a ginormous Belen, also great for photo op purposes!

Anyways, let's talk about Golden Spoon. As I was saying, I haven't had Fro-yo in a really long time. While waiting for a table at Wee Nam Kee, we walked the restaurant lane along Ayala Triangle.  Restaurants there include Omakase, Bfast by Chef Laudico, Bon Chon Chicken (I'm dying to try this!), Banapple, Kanin Club, Momo, Cara Mia, Pho24, and Amici. And of course, Golden Spoon! The only place that had a free table at that time was Golden Spoon. I mean, come on, who has fro-yo at 6PM when you're starving right? *Raises her hand.*

Golden Spoon is the first stall you'll see, because it's right by the Christmas Lights. In fact, if you have some Fro-yo, you can watch the show from inside (sans the music). This is actually great for girls who die in their heels, like me.

At first I thought that Golden Spoon was your typical fro-yo place, because the counter makes it seem that way. Apparently, the specialty of Golden Spoon is the yoghurt itself, not the toppings. "Cake Batter" is their best-seller.

Calorie Info

I got the kiddie size (P85) of the Simply Tart and Cake Batter. With the Cake Batter I added Candied Pecans, which is like Pecans with caramel syrup. I just wanted to check if the Simply Tart was good compared to the others. Here are the shots (excuse them for sucking, I couldn't help myself, I ate from both though I was supposed to share.)

Notice the "Golden Spoons"?

The Simply Tart was okay, it was as good as the other fro-yos, nothing super duper. But the Cake Batter is another story. So good! So good. So good. If you're not into it being super sweet though don't add the candied pecans because it's really sweet. But I really loved it, hubby too!

The place is small but very clean and nice. It's really a great place to chill out in. They sell Golden Spoon merchandise, in case you become a fan =D

Simple Setup and Signage

A couple of days later I chanced upon the newly-opened Golden Spoon in BF Homes, Paranaque. It's located at Pergola Mall at Phase 1, beside Via Mater. I wanted to check out if the quality is the same. It was! The Cake Batter was equally delicious. And for P85, not bad! So here's your chance South people! Go give it a try!
