ABBA Buys from SM MAll of Asia
Dried Mangoes
7D and Cebu Mango were the two recommended brands.
Mangoes @ 200g went for 110Pesos each at SM Mall of Asia's Hypermart, a price significantly cheaper than at the airport, for x3 100g Cebu Mangos for 300Pesos.Review: 7D had a drier texture to it, whereas Cebu Mangos had a wetter stickeir feel to them. Taste wise, were both similar and a nice fragrant, mango taste to them.
ABBATip: Hotel prprovides a complimentary sampling of Cebu Dried Mangoes in the room. *pictured above 100g*
A wide selection of gourmet popcorn flavors await you. Staff are very helpful and offer samples freely. All popcorn are caramel based with added flavoring like White Chocolate Parmesan (great flavor and a popular choice amongst friends) & Mocachino with Almond Nuts. Some are strong bold flavors whilst other have a suttle undertone.
ABBAtip: You can sample as much of and all the flavors they have to offer.

ABBA Buys from the Airport
Yam Ice-cream
Yam Ice-cream
*pic sourced from internet New York Street Food
Freelance ice-cream sellers will sell, well-packed tubs of Yam flavored ice-cream for ready travel.Tightly packed with dry ice packaging going for USD25 each. A little pricey, but well worth it, says some of the crew.
Quickmelt Cheese Buns
Prior boarding at the departure gate, you may purchase a combination box (with Yam Flavor) or single flavored box of Quickmelt Cheese Buns. Prices are at either P300 or SGD10 per box.
Review: I think they are alright in flavor. Similar to small bakeries, which have cheese and sugar baked onto a sweet bun. However, these have a heavier, oilier taste to it. The yam filled ones, nothing really to scream about.
