United Village Breadhouse Spread

I'll keep this short and sweet. My weakness is all sorts of cheese, cream cheese included. Yesterday, I passed by SM Supermarket, Megamall (the one in Building A), and saw a bazaar-type display of spreads/dips by United Village Breadhouse. The salesman whipped out crostinis and asked me to try the pimiento cheese spread that turned out to be ick (at least, for me), so I went for the Cream Cheese w/ Garlic and Spinach (PHP 120; but there's also a smaller container for only PHP45) instead.

I like a strong garlic taste. Perhaps it's one of the Filipino traits I've grown to inherit. It's the perfect zing of flavor that awakens the tastebuds. On that front, this product delivers. There's also the right proportion of spinach. I prefer a good amount of herbs that I can actually taste, as opposed to just a sprinkling for decoration's sake.

Of all the spreads I've tried, this most reminded me of Pancake House's whipped butter because of the airy light texture and the way it melts right onto a slice of toast. In fact, the whipped butter is primarily the reason why I go to Pancake House. I miss it more than I miss their pancakes.

This spread will go great with toasted bread, crostinis, or plain chips (dip!). Look for it at your local grocery or the SM grocery bazaars. :)
