People in other countries would probably see this as a bonehead post, but since Nutella Hazelnut Cocoa Spread is not big in the Philippines, I only got to try it last month. Out of curiosity mostly, as I spent quite a time hanging out at 9gag and folks there were praising Nutella to high heavens.
We were browsing food items at SM Supermarket in Megamall when I saw a plastic bottle of Nutella . I found it expensive - P161.50 for a 220g bottle - that I almost put it back on the shelf. For someone like me who gobbles up twice or thrice as much bread spread as a normal human being, that small bottle might not last long.
Anyway, when I got home, I ate Nutella before having the sense to take a picture, so here's a picture from the Nutella Facebook Page instead.

Holy moly! Those 9gaggers were not exaggerating - Nutella really IS amazing!
Nutella reminded me of the chocolate dip of Yan-Yan, which was a favorite snack when I was a kid.
From what I read online, there is now an actual Nutella version of Yan-Yan. Has anyone seen that anywhere here in Metro Manila? Let me know!

People who haven't tried Nutella might expect it to be overly sweet since it's a chocolatey spread. But it's not, at least for me. It goes well with tasty bread, pan de sal, and even crackers.
Oh Nutella, come to mama!
crump is a good alternative to nutella too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with Crump. Is it widely available here and less expensive than Nutella?
DeleteI think the brand is Crumpy :) I bought one in Landmark before but didn't like it that much. Hehe so we didn't finish the whole thing, and yes it's cheaper. Nutella is still the best for me.. well next to peanut butter. LOL! :D I wanna try "Nutella & Go"- the cookie sticks w/ nutella dip, i read it in blogs but haven't seen it in the grocery :) what i often see is Yanyan with hazelnut dip.
DeleteAhh peanut butter. Another great invention by mankind lol. I'm loyal to Lily's Peanut Butter. :D
DeleteI love Nutella but since it's really expensive, i tried several alternatives and finally stick with GOYA choco hazelnut spread. by far it is the closest to Nutella, to me that is :)
ReplyDeletewhat you heard was correct, there is a choco hazelnut version of yan-yan...the brown packaging :) i have tasted it and is quite nice. groceries have them already though mist of the time, out of stock :)
i had fun visiting your blog :)
Great! I was actually looking for a cheaper alternative. Thanks for your suggestion.
DeleteThe Yan-Yan version I was referring to was the Nutella brand one, also with breadsticks and a small tub of Nutella on the side. But it was good to know that Yan-Yan has a choco hazelnut version, that's probably a lot cheaper than the Nutella one.
For someone who devours chocolates, I don't like chocolate spreads on my bread. Gusto ko lang sila kainin as is. For spreads, Goober pa rin ako =)
ReplyDeleteGoober the peanut butter & jelly spread? I don't like that. Haha baligtad talaga tayo.
Deletei love nutella too! :) I agree! it is a great spread for pandesal or tasty bread! :)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm more intrigued! I just saw an empty bottle of Nutella in the kitchen sink like a few days ago.. if I only knew how great tasting it was, I would've played tug-o-war with my brothers for it. Lol!
ReplyDeleteWaah you only saw it when the bottle was already empty? Lol!
DeleteI love Nutella!!! :D I have it as spread for breads and even on crackers.. I've also noticed that it tasted similar to Ferrero Rocher's chocolate filling, probably this is what they put inside them! :D
ReplyDeleteNutella, like Spam, is one of the reasons life is worth living. Lol. I love it. I used to buy it 2 or 3 canisters at a time. I love it so much I even try to score it from abroad because it's cheaper. Yum!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Spam too! *high five*
Deleteuy Nutella...n miss ko tuloy yan...Now craving!
ReplyDeleteOfcmates have this in their drawers haha :)
ReplyDeleteOoohhh Nutella is manna from heaven :) Well worth its price :) I also heard that Yan-Yan has its Nutella flavor already, haven't tried it yet though, but I am still in constant search :)

my kids' favorite. i would often make crepes and this would be the filling or their one other favorite which is the caramel rhum syrup from stonewall kitchen.
ReplyDeleteAgree! Nutella really tastes great! no need for bread, biscuits or whatever - just spoon it. I can only indulge with this when I am abroad, here it is so pricey! but sometimes I do satisfy my cravings!
ReplyDeleteyay..haven't tasted this yet....san ba nakakabili? :D
ReplyDeleteS mga groceries meron ..
ReplyDeleteMy son, KURT loves choco spreads
ReplyDeleteand this is one of his fave... he just never gets enough
of NUTELLA! So yummy, he said.
I love Nutella! the taste never gets old and it always reminds me of my childhood memories. Also, when I went to Dubai, they've used this as a filling in a crepe which was really delicious.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if you are looking for some comfort food for good mood, I have some in my blog. :)
coco jam pa din ako.
