Ask anyone on the street what pearl shake they know. For sure, they’ll tell you the obvious: Zagu!
The pearl shake brand which started way back in 1999 has become a classic, in the sense that people from all ages want to have a taste of it, especially the Filipinos in the UAE, who experience the heat of the sun almost the whole-year-round.
Another reason why it probably became so famous among Filipinos is that it will never hurt your pocket even if you ‘take away’ Grande every time.
For those who reside in Abu Dhabi, the long wait is finally over because the refreshing Zagu will be part of Little Manila’s opening on November 15. Yes, you’re right! On Wednesday this week!
Stressed out? Or want to shake off that heat? Here are the top 5 TFT picks that’ll surely tickle your taste buds!
1. Will Ube mine?
If you love ube halaya, that thick and purple yam dessert back home, then this drink will make you crave for it. Zagu’s version, however, puts a twist to the ube Filipinos are used to. This shake contains coconut too, making it utterly delicious!
2. Panalo ka sa Halo-halo
This flavor is probably the most reminiscent of traditional Filipino food. The dessert comes in various versions across the islands of the country. But Zagu retains its classic taste by having lots of ingredients to quench your thirst.
Zagu’s halo-halo shake mixes healthy red mongo beans, sweet corn kernels, crunchy rice crispies, as well as coconut crystals to create a filling drink with a creamy consistency.
3. Can you say ‘no’ to Cappuccino?
Hazelnut Cappuccino will give coffee lovers just that right flavor and aroma It’s a great kick-start for the day or even at noon during which the mind needs some invigorating drink!
4. Quezo Royale, Your highness!
Ever wanted to know how ‘royal’ food tastes like? You won’t regret your pick when you taste Zagu’s Quezo Royale flavor. It has the sweetness and velvety texture of ice cream, and the richness of melted cheese at an affordable price.
5. Go loco over Buko Pandan
Buko pandan is one of the recipes you’ll most often see during festivities and special occasions in the Philippines. And no matter how many times you feast on it, you just never get fed up with it.
Zagu combines coconut milk with pandan leaves to create this refreshing, aromatic drink perfect for a hot day.
