Like everyone else who attended the launch, I was very much excited about Tim Hortons opening in the Philippines especially here in Metro Manila. I’ve been hearing about Tim Hortons for decades among my friends in Canada. They keep telling me you should try Tims.
In my head I tell them “why don’t you go buy me a plane ticket to Canada and maybe I could!” But what comes out of my mouth is: “Ship some samples so I can try!” They would, but still nothing beats the real experience.
And so when I got an invite to Tim Hortons first Philippines/ Southeas Asian Branch opening recently, I said yes. I would boast to my Cannuck friends, “Hey, Tims is here! Suck it up!”
It is a compliment for my country having Tims here. It just shows how big brands from all over the world still come here and do business inspite of.
Maybe investors are coming because they are shielded from the news or they are risk takers, the higher the risk the better as success returns could be way much better. I’m sure they did their market research.
When you live in the Philippines who wants to make good . I suggest you close your eyes and make a wish that you won’t be next! That is something to talk about over coffee.
Good thing to know that Tim Hortons Philippines first branch will be open for 24 hours 7 days a week! Which means more Canadian style coffee and donuts for us. I’ve always thought of Canadians as laid back kind of people maybe because of the coffee they drink? Haha!
During the event I tried the black coffee, although they recommended their signature coffee the doubles. I wanted to taste the difference of their brew. It tasted kinda sour, little tangy and light. I like. We also had a taste of their famous French Vanilla that those with has creamy and sweet tooth would love.
As for their donuts, their signature twisted one. I also liked it. It is not too sweet and it tasted light like I feel I could eat a dozen of it! Thanks to my friend John who warned me of tricky foods I only had half of a whole. Plus they were giving us a taste of all their pastries.
Their muffins are light, fluffy with crusty top which I like way better than all other muffins I have tasted.
I also love their Bisket and Bagels, perfect meal for someone cutting down on rice!
If you ask about Tim Hortons Philippinesprice range, they are way cheaper than the popular cafes and coffee shops we know! Check this out!
The competition should be nervous about this new comer. We all should expect more branches opening in the country soon. Check out Tim Hortons Philippines Facebook page for more information or follow them on Instagram @timhortonsphl .
