It was just a normal day in the year 1999 when Pedro Espinosa decided to leave his current job at British Petroleum and continue his family’s business tradition in the world of gastronomy. Here, he opened the very first outlet of Llaollao (pronounced as ‘yao yao’) enterprises. A year later, Pedro decided to expand the very business that he was enhancing based on the franchising model that is seen up to this very date.

The company is one of the leading brands when it comes to serving people with healthy values and a fresh image to create an impact on today’s league of customers. With that success comes a very important mentioning of the brand. The Prime Minister of Singapore – Lee Hsien Loong – mentioned that Llaollao along with Zara and other Spanish companies that are found in Singapore are very popular today.

By July of 2015, Llaollao has generated more than 1,000 jobs during its five year duration that started in 2009 of being a successful business. Last year – August 2015 - Llaollao opened its biggest outlet in the world located at Suntec City, Singapore. The company is planning to expand the business throughout the world beginning first in Japan.

But don’t you guys worry. If you want to indulge again, this healthy serving of Spanish frozen yogurt or you just want to try something new, well you are all in luck. Actually Llaollao opened two branches here in the Philippines, bringing you the taste of traditional yogurt originated from Spain with a modern twist for today’s customers.

Sanum is one of their signature desserts a yogurt parfait with fresh fruits of your choosing, granola or crushed biscuits drizzled with a choice of sauce. Llaollao provides over 700 different combinations, in other terms we will not stick to one combination only.

|Travel|

As our plane was descending from the clouds up above, I catch my first glimpse on it. My first glimpse on land that was not my homeland, but something more foreign. This is my first time traveling out of my home country which is the Philippines. The lucky country that got me off my homeland is the wondrous city of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is such a vibrant city, and you can say truly an Asian City. Streets that are busy with people running to work. Rush hours that affects your mood especially when you are coursing with them through the all familiar transit that is their MTR Transit Systems. The long railways, the minutes that you waste on squeezing in with different people all from different walks of life – Asian, American, Australian, European, Middle Easterns, and etc. Everywhere you look you will be entertained, it's like there is not one thing that you see in the streets that can bore you to sleep, but that's how I feel especially it was my first time being out of the country.

I can tell you that the Hong Kong food scene will not leave you out. It will only leave you wanting for more. The food you can see are all integrated from different places, mostly from their Asian neighbors like Japan, Taiwan, and some are also from Thailand. Also the street scenes I might say was also fun, especially the Ladies Market in Mong Kok where the buyers and sellers negotiate until they reach they agreed price.

I promise you once you’ve head to Hong Kong you will want more. Like me I wanted more because we only spent 4 days there, so I told myself – I will come back to Hong Kong and explore what else it could offer.
