Once the -ber months arrive, most people instantly go on Christmas mode. Yes, we see that parol hanging out your window. Some of you are probably starting to set up your tree too. That said, they also sometimes forget about another fun occasion: Halloween. It’s a week away and many are probably frantically looking up last-minute costume and makeup ideas.
But you know what I love about Halloween? The treats, of course. Good thing Backyard Grill by Southern Living happening on Oct. 22 has enough to prepare me for them. You can also say that this is a good pre-Halloween party for a cause since part of the food proceeds will go to the MBY Pet Rescue and Sanctuary. Plus, it’s a free whole-day event from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the cozy University Park, Ayala Alabang Village.
Want more convincing to spend your day at Backyard Grill? We’re listing down the Halloween-appropriate treats you’ll find there courtesy of the concessionaires. (Oh, and don’t forget to wear a costume!)
#1 Crunchy and gooey cheese balls
Midnight Bite specializes in savory snacks like pizza cones and croquets. The latter has a five-cheese variant which is gooey when you take a bite. There are also other options like chicken, bacon, and ham.
#2 Mini pies
Aside from their tasty ice cream, Carmen’s Best is also serving their butter pecan pie this Sunday. You can even add a scoop of ice cream on top if you’re an absolute sweet tooth.
#3 Addicting salted egg chips
Who said only candy bars are sinfully good snacks? Truly Home Made Chips’ salted egg chips might just change your mind. (Friendly tip: Don’t finish the whole jar by yourself. Share with your companions!)
#4 Extra sweet ice cream
Partners in Cream doesn’t just serve regular scoops of ice cream. They also go all out with the toppings. Want sprinkles? You got it. Roasted marshmallows? No problem!
#5 Fresh churros
Choose from Churreria La Lola’s selection of churros from plain to matcha, and eat them with the hot chocolate dip. You’ll be munching on them all day while you hang out at the park.
#6 Jumbo waffle stick
You read that right. Gaufre MNL will be serving their specialty waffle sticks topped with maple syrup.
#7 Energizing drinks
With all the snacks we mentioned, it’s important to wash it all down with a beverage or two. For a burst of energy, grab a cup of Nitro7.Coffee’s cold brew.
For something more refreshing, choose from Pure Nectar’s many fruity flavors.
