SUNSHINE FRUIT BAR opens a store in Banawe Quezon City
Finished tasks earlier than usual so decided to scout around for new foodie haunts in Banawe Quezon City. Walking around we crossed the street to what looks like a building with renovations, you know with the bamboo scaffolding still in place and all. Turns out its a new store – SUNSHINE FRUIT BAR.
Persimmon, Korean apples, flat & honey peaches and more are available at SUNSHINE FRUIT BAR
SUNSHINE FRUIT BAR started as a wholesaler and retailer of fresh fruits and organic vegetables. They deliver both imported and local products to supermarkets, groceries, etc. nationwide.
Grapefruit, avocados, China pears, etc.
Testing the waters through bazaars last year which yielded success, they decided to put up a ‘physical’ store to showcase their products to a neighborhood setting.
SUNSHINE FRUIT BAR also has organic products like coco sugar, malunggay powder, turmeric, chia seeds, etc.
Aside from fruits, they also have a wide variety of fresh organic vegetables at affordable prices like cherry tomatoes, cabbage, spinach, zucchini, etc. Powdered organic supplements like malunggay to spruce up your healthy drinks, healthy alternatives like coco sugar and chia seeds to top off your juices and shakes.
SUNSHINE FRUIT BAR also has cassava chips, camote chips or mixed chips in a resealable container
If you are a ‘snacker’ and you’re looking for healthy alternatives, Sunshine Fruit Bar has cassava chips, camote chips or a mix of both.
They also have sugar-free cookies, granola, pistachios, etc. in snack packs
If cookies are your snack thing then try their oatmeal cookies that are sugar free. Or grab some granola to mix with dried fruits and pistachios for a healthy trail mix or flavor addition to your breakfast cereal.
Whisk Salad Dressing is also available here
While getting some arugula or romaine, grab a bottle of Whisk Salad Dressing. Try out a new dressing like soy ginger, tamarind, raspberry vinaigrette, lemon tarragon vinaigrette and a special dressing for those on Paleo diet.
Healthy cakes and pastries plus detox drinks are also available
And get this, they have a cozy nook where you can snack on healthy cakes and pastries or quench down your thirst with some detox juice!
Stash for this trip is a bag of kale, organic tea bags and some carabao’s milk – this will be on a separate post!

Sugar Ray’s has this cozy nook if you prefer a bit of privacy.
Its one of those days wherein after a quick shower you don’t want to dress up because you know you’ll just be going to one quick appointment. This was one of those days when a loose shirt, comfy shorts and slippers is okay – its just a dermatologist appointment. Any activity other than that, should (also) be relaxing like a massage, comedy movie or good meal.
Anyway, finished early from a dermatologist checkup and treatment, Ate Fely and I decided to try out Sugar Ray’s at Fisher Mall.
They have an open mic night! Plus acoustic bands performing almost every night.
I think at daytime this sports bar is a good chill out place to grab a bite and watch a few telecast games or cable TV shows.
A part of Sugar Ray’s long bar.
Or you can grab a bottle of beer and wait out the traffic at their long bar while watching TV.
Ate Fely enjoying the ambience.
Weird to some but this place for me is a good ‘day spot’ to do some work online. I mean really, they should serve good coffee and some pastries also for the ‘day’ patrons.
‘Game of Thrones’ drinking game!
For ‘Game of Thrones’ fans, you can watch it at Sugar Ray’s and play a drinking game too! Its a trivia game plus you get to drink, fun isn’t it?!
We tried Sugar Ray’s Cheeseburgers with a side of french fries.
We tried their cheeseburgers with a side of french fries with soda since it was still the afternoon. But they also serve steaks and different types of local and imported beer.
Next door they have old-fashioned video games like PACMAN and SPACE INVADERS!Who remembers these games?! Truth be told, I do! And nothing beats the ‘feel’ of playing in an arcade than a tablet!
Who remembers these old-fashioned games?! Well I do! Nothing beats the ‘feels’ of playing in an arcade than on a tablet!
Also next door beside the gaming section is a tattoo parlor.
Fond of console games or you need to have a quick meeting and you don’t know where to leave your kids? Let your kids play here while you talk business and sip beer next door!
More old-fashioned video games like GALAGA and DONKEY KONG!
Galaga and Donkey Kong should be rebooted and downloadable on tablets, just saying!
Remember ZOLTAR from TOM HANKS’ movie ‘BIG’
Okay, ’90s kids probably don’t know the movie ‘Big’ starring Tom Hanks but Zoltar here is still a crowd favorite with his booming voice and fortune telling skills!
A replica of ZOLTAR just like the one in TOM HANKS’ movie ‘BIG’ receives tokens and in turn gives you a fortune reading!Getting my fortune reading from ZOLTAR!
After watching a cable cooking show, a good burger meal and after getting my ‘fortune’ from Zoltar we happily went home!

Advance ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ celebration with my ‘Second Mothers’ and cousin Brie! Treated them at ‘Bida’ (hero/heroine) Filipino Kitchen because they’re ‘bidas’ in my life!
Impromptu and advance ‘Mother’s Day’ celebration with my ‘Second Mothers’ (Tita Sally, Ate Fely and Ate Mabelle) and cousin Brie!
I rarely have free time, so after a prior engagement went to fetch them with Ate Fely for an advance treat! We had dinner at ‘Bida’ (hero/heroine) Filipino Kitchen because they’re ‘bidas’ in my life!
Advance ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ celebration at Mama Mia’s Casa! Big Sis cooked Baked Pork Chops w/ Herbs & baked Banana-Almond Crunch and I brought Custard Cake.
Ate Mabelle coincidentally cooked Baked Herbed Pork Chops & baked Banana-Almond Crunch for dinner which was delicious as always! We were full from the restaurant treat so the rest of the home cooked meal went to the fridge which if offered, would’ve happily agreed to take some home hehe! Will post recipes soon!
The advance ‘Mother’s Day’ celebration continued with coffee and custard cake at Tita Sally’s white house after dinner.
It was a good spur-of-the-moment decision and a fulfilling day! Nothing beats spending quality time albeit just a few hours with the people who love and support you unconditionally!
