Celebrate Valentines day with TGI Fridays monster spiked shakes

February 14, 2017 No Comments

Happy Belated Valentines Day boys and girlies!

I hope you all got spoilt silly by loved ones or you did the spoiling because you’re a hopeless romantic. Well, for those who might have forgotten about Valentines Day and you want to redeem yourself, TGI Fridays is now teaming up with Bistro Morgan to create monster spike shakes.

There were two new shakes: Naughty and Nice. For the chocolate-y couple with a naughty side, this shake is a cocktail swirled with chocolate syrup, Malibu, Frangelico, Coconut cream, chopped pecans, coco powder, three scoops of vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate wafer tube, mini bounty bar and a Bistro Morgan Tim Tam doughnut.

For those angelic couples, the nice shake is a strawberry cocktail with Chambord, White Creme De Cacao, half alf cream & half milk, Brandy Snap, three scoops of vanilla ice cream, garnished with vanilla wafer tubes, shard brandy snap, a Bistro Morgan White Chocolate and Raspberry Doughnut topped with fresh raspberry and mint.

Right to Left: Nice and Naughty shakes

These shakes are for a limited time only for two weeks from Valentines Day until the 28th February 2017. So put your sweet tooth pants on and head on down to TGI Fridays with your special someone and indulge in these divine shakes.

Gingerboy, Melbourne

The traveling couple had given us a voucher to Gingerboy (been totes wanting to try this out) for our engagement and we decided to cash it in because, well, it was going to expire soon. I’ve been wanting to check this place out for a while and now there wasn’t an excuse as to why we couldn’t go. Gingerboy, as expected is located in a lane way and when you step inside, you’re greeted by smiling faces. We got to our table, got our game face on and waited for the food to come out.

QLD: Ninja Sushi Burritos, Rockhampton

We were in Mumsy and Daddy Bears favourite shopping centre, Stockland and we eyed a sushi joint for some lunch. Upon closer inspection, we found that they not only did sushi and other dishes, but they do sushi burritos. What is a sushi burrito you may ask? it’s a fat ass sushi roll.

On our last night in Rocky with Baby A, we all let him pick our last dinner together. After a quick search through Zomato, Baby A decided on The Bush Inn Bar & Grill, located right next to the Criterion Hotel and of course, right in the CBD. There’s plenty of parking around so don’t worry your pretty heads with parking.

While Baby A was still moving around in good ol’ Queensland, the whole fam bam needed to help him move. This year it was to Rocky where it’s always hot and humid. Baby A had found the finest coffee shop in town (there weren’t that many to choose from) and we got there bright and early, bushy eyed tailed and all. The Two Professors, opened since 2014 and serving great coffees in a great atmosphere.

Take 2: Entrecote, Melbourne

I haven’t seen the two stooges in quite a while and I needed to hand out their wedding invitations (oh my gosh so close now) and I’ve always wanted to come back to Entrecote to check out their menu after sampling their awesome sauce desserts. So we got our tooshies into the Entrecote in the CBD and started ordering everything in sight.

Red Beetle Cafe, Caroline Springs

I haven’t seen Mr Slowpoke in a while so it meant, catch up time. We decided to go somewhere local and he suggested Red Beetle Cafe in Caroline Springs (it wasn’t THAT local). It wasn’t too busy when we got there which is always a plus in my books and we sat our tooshies down.

Highpoint has a lot of places for coffee if you get a tad tired from shopping and that’s exactly what we did, drop by Cacao for some pick me up caffeine.

Roti Road, Maribyrnong (Highpoint Shopping Centre)

We were looking for a place to have a quick lunch with the creative couple and since we were at highpoint, we opted for some Malaysian food – Roti Road. Roti Road is located on the lower level food court right next to Strike. There’s plenty of seats so you don’t have to run around like a headless chook. We bagged a table and flipped through the menu and started our lunch date.

Pidapipo Gelateria, Carlton

I was with Mrs Creative and we were craving desserts. We were already in the city so I suggested Pidapipo since there’s always a line out front and it’s an ice-creamery which I have yet to tried. I turned the car towards Carlton, walked a block and finally reached the glowing neon sign which indicated that heaven was around the corner.
