Family Mart is Here!

05.04.2013 by Leah // 5 Comments

Family Mart, Japan’s 3rd largest convenience store chain, is finally here in Manila!  It opened last April at Glorietta 3, and has since invaded Instagram and Facebook with its many instant fans sharing pictures of their favorite snacks there.

Aside from basic grocery items, Family Mart sells its own ready-to-eat food items like sandwiches and bento meals like cold noodles and Katsudon.  Unlike other convenience stores here in Manila, Family Mart‘s ready-to-eat food items are bigger and they look fresh even in sealed packages.

Family Mart‘s bestsellers: the chocolate cookies and Japanese chips!

We bought home 2 packs of chocolate cookies to try:  the Panda Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Crepes.   Each pack sells at P88.00 (pang-Japan Home ang price, yey!)

You’ll like the milk chocolate coating in these cookies.  They’re of premium quality, almost like Meiji’s.

We haven’t tried the sandwiches and bento meals yet but they make perfect food for picnics and road trips – especially the sandwiches.  If only we’re a walk away from Glorietta then I’ll have these as my lunch baon to work.

But you should definitely try the chocolate cookies. I liked the Panda Chocolate Cookies best. These nibblers were perfect for my  Twining’s Black Tea with Passion Fruit, Orange and Mango.   Having them after dinner became a ritual of sort for me until all of the chocolate cookies were gone, haha!

Family Mart is located at the Ground Level of Glorietta 3, Makati City.

    I actually saw a Family Mart at Eastwood, as soon as I saw it I checked it out coz I miss Family Mart in Japan so much! But I was a bit disappointed coz Family Mart’s real bestsellers are not available.

      Yes, I agree with you when you said that their real bestsellers are not yet available. Thankfully I am only after the Panda Chocolate Cookies so okey ako for now, hehe! Let’s hope they will bring in the better goodies soon!

    We saw one while walking going to Glorietta. Hindi ko alam kung Greenbelt branch ba yun kasi medyo maliit pa. I am wondering if may available silang Japanese ice cream? Yung something different like Korean ice cream na fish-shaped (sorry I forgot the name).

    Yung cookies pala don eh parang price lang ng Daiso Japan… 88Php each! Hehe.
    Looking forward to visit soon.

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
