THERE’S no better way to enjoy a cup of hot, freshly brewed coffee than with bites of deliciously crunchy Lotus Biscoff caramelized biscuits.
This is why Lotus Biscoff cookies have been Europe’s coffee break favorite since 1932. In 1985, it became America’s favorite cookie with air travel when it was introduced as an in-flight treat that made long flights and multiple connections much more bearable and enjoyable. It became a welcome mid-flight break that reminded airline passengers of the comforts of home and therefore helped them relax. It is being offered with coffee or tea in Delta Air Lines (United States), Brussels Airlines (Belgium), Middle East Airlines (Lebanon) and El Al (Israel). Last year, in the U.S. alone, more than 90 million Lotus Biscoff cookies were consumed.
Known as “The In-flight Treat,” Lotus Biscoff caramelized cookies are a great accompaniment for coffee because of their unique taste, which comes from the sugar’s caramelization during the baking process. A hint of cinnamon and other spices add a special twist and flavor to Lotus Biscoff cookies.
Now, Europe and America’s favorite cookie to go with coffee has landed on Philippine shores. It was formally launched over coffee and bites at the posh Society Lounge in Makati City. The place was set up to look like airline counters manned by attendants who greeted ‘passengers’ for check-in. Allegro Beverage Corporation served overflowing coffee, while Society Lounge’s renowned French chef Patrice Freuslon served up an array of delicious dishes infused with Biscoff biscuits and spreads along with savory pasta and creamy soup in shot glasses. Also presented were Biscoff Creations made not just by Chef Patrice but also by the Tiny Kitchen’s Vicky Veloso-Barrera using Biscoff products. Biscoff ladies, dressed like flight attendants, presented Veloso-Barrera’s Mini Biscoff Cinnamon Rolls, Mini Biscoff Cupcakes and Crazy Biscoff Parfait along with Chef Patrice’s own mini bites.
Hosted by TV personality Daphne Oseña-Paez, the Lotus Biscoff launch was also graced by Bart Bauwens, general manager, International Distributors, Lotus Bakeries-Belgium; and Emie San Beda, Lotus Biscoff product manager, Fly Ace Corporation.
Incidentally, Fly Ace Corporation is the exclusive distributor of Lotus Biscoff products in the Philippines.
