Daily Quickie: Spam Musubi & Winter Melon Alisan Tea
Daily Quickie will be a short tag on the title which I'll use for blog entries about food I'm snacking at home, work or anywhere.
I don't usually buy food items that I can easily whip up at home. However, Spam Jam is an exception. I don't remember when I first fell in love with this food kiosk, but ever since I've tried their Spam Musubi (P48), I always make sure to buy a piece or two when I see a branch.
Last Thursday after doing some shopping in SM Megamall, I made sure to stop by at Spam Jam to have a quick snack. Honestly, I've never tried anything else from their menu except the Spam Musubi -- a grilled slice of Spam pressed atop a block of flavored rice, and wrapped around with nori. I felt like I can easily replicate a Spam burger, sandwich or better yet, Spam with rice.
Don't expect a highly intricate flavor on this Hawaiian delicacy though. It's just good ol' Spam with flavored rice, one which taste similar to a savory garlic fried rice. I love it nonetheless as it is easy to eat, tastes good and can definitely fill you up. But being a hefty eater, one is not enough.
Spam Jam offers their Spam Musubi and other food items with a choice of either iced tea or lemonade. But I already got myself a medium drink from Gong Cha, a cup of my new favorite -- Winter Melon Alisan Tea (P70). Some find it quite unethical to bring in a third-party food item in another food store. However, this drink is just so tasty that I didn't want to miss savoring every sip!
I really like how the Winter Melon Alisan Tea is very clean-tasting and sweet at the same time. The winter melon flavor is really evident, but not too overpowering. For tea lovers who wished Gong Cha's Milk Winter Melon Tea taste more like tea than milk, then give their Winter Melon Alisan Tea a try soon.
How about you? Do you have a favorite food kiosk? Let me know 'cause I'd love to give it a try too. Anyway, happy weekend everyone!

Haven't tried Spam Jam. I was supposed to but my friend stopped me. Marami daw silang Spam sa bahay, he'll just bring one for me.haha.

Looks yummy, they are not found in singapore yet, you think if I bring it to singapore the people would like it?
ReplyDelete@michymichymoo: Hahaha.. We have Spam din at home.. XD Kaya I buy the Spam Musubi lang. Yun di ko kayang gayahin eh XD
ReplyDelete@passive income: Hmm.. I'm not so sure though. It could work 'cause Spam Jam has quite a lot of patrons here. But if Spam in Singapore is already a household name, it'd be a problem.
I always go to Mango-ong for my snack. haha Where in Mega Mall is Spam Jam, Sumi? I always go to mega mall for my snack but ive never seen this. I wanna give it a try. I love spam! :D
ReplyDelete@Mich of Mich Eats and Shops: I've seen Mango-ong in SM North but haven't given it a try yet. Will do really soon.. :) Btw, Spam Jam is in Megamall Bldg. A's 2nd floor, beside Akiba Cafe.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any particular food kiosk as my fave. Hehe. I just buy from anywhere when I feel like grabbing a bite. :) I might try Spam Musubi, though. :)
ReplyDeleteI am just really curios about Spam Musubi, when you remove the plastic wrapping and you took a bit, would the rice wouldn't fall? haha
ReplyDelete@dynamicdiana: They use Japanese rice, I think, so it would be sticky enough to be molded. No worries of rice falling apart here ;)
ReplyDeleteoooh. will try this! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a fave food kiosk but I'll consider this one. Having a cost like that seems economical. Will buy three! :)
ReplyDeleteI've tried their spam musubi kaya lang luma yata yung naibigay samin kasi iba na yung lasa ng rice. Tinapon ko lang tuloy.
ReplyDelete@anney: Ay sayang naman.. >.< That's the problem lang with the Spam Musubi at Spam Jam. They're not cooked upon ordering, unlike the Spam sandwiches and rice meals.
ReplyDeleteI have passed through Spam Jam in the mall but haven't really gotten the chance to check out their menu. I might do so if I do see one of their branches. The Spam Musubi looks yummy. Reminds me of a sushi. :P
ReplyDeleteAs for the Gongcha drink, I've ordered that exact Wintermelon drink before and I totally agree with you that it is tasty! :)
Oh, and wanna be affies/l-e? :)

Gong Cha! Love it there. That spam masubi looks interesting. Will try to make one soon nga. Hehe. I'm actually planning on making a joint food blog with my sister but more of purchased foods and snacks and our bento adventures since we've been making one and bringing them to school/work. hehe. :P
ReplyDeleteFavorite food kiosk... Hmmm.... Nothing in particular naman kasi I try anything when I'm hungry. Haven't thought about a favorite food kiosk. Hehe :P
This is Cool idea ha.
ReplyDeleteWell I will be looking forward for this segment :)
puro spam lang ba food? sa bahay na lang din ako kakain. hehe!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried those before, and I really wonder what the Winter Melon Alisan Tea would taste like. :)
ReplyDeleteit's spam! that's why it tastes good! :) Do you know where I can get one here in Mindanao?
ReplyDeleteay LIKE!!! i am a spam kid ^_^ i can still remember how stubborn i am when my mom will not grant my wish of SPAM for dinner! ahahah
ReplyDeleteWinter Melon Alisan Tea... hmmmm sounds delicious!
Syempre dun ako nagreact sa wintermelon tea ... haha ... love it!
ReplyDeleteI love SPAM MUSUBI! <3
ReplyDeleteWow, this is interesting! Favorite food kiosk? Samurai Balls Takuyaki :)
ReplyDeleteI havent tried Spam Jam since we love preparing spam at home :P I like Gong Cha's wintermelon milk tea & i'll try that alisan tea coz it's not milk-based. My tummy hurts if I drink lots of milk.
ReplyDeleteyumyum treat...
ReplyDeletei've tasted the spam musubi before and yes, it taste so great!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a GIRL Thing
Hmm, I think I've seen spam prepared like sushi before, but I never really thought of trying it out. Not really a big fan of spam... but honestly, I do think it's a unique idea! :P
ReplyDeleteNever tried Spam Jam before. But it looks interesting tho, especially that one prepared like sushi. :3 Maybe I should try to grab some soon. :D
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've heard of the Spam Musubi. It looks yummy. Will try this one for sure.
ReplyDeleteHow big is it? Is it enough you fill you up? =)
ReplyDeleteI wanna try Spam Musubi coz it looks like very delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love spam. Haven't tried that version yet, but I love the one in can. Except every time I try it at home boyf says he is disgusted by it... coz its preserved. LOL.
ReplyDelete@Sumi: That's why I never notice it! Whenever Im in Mega 2nd flr, I always bee line for Forever 21. Tunnel vision na! hahaha
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy, I've never tried those before :)
ReplyDeleteI always order Gong Cha's Pearl Milk Tea. On my next visit, I will try the Winter Melon Alisan Tea para maiba naman. Thanks for sharing. :)
