Joy Black Gulaman



As a kid, I always remember drinking home made gulaman during merienda. And up until now, I still have those occasional cravings for the drink whenever I snack.

Now that my mom rarely makes her home made gulaman anymore, I get my usual dose of the beverage in food carts and Filipino cuisine restaurants. And then I discovered a ready to drink product called Joy Black Gulaman.

I was at The Sandwich Guy in McKinley Hill several months ago when I first saw this product. On display, I though this was a bottle of soy sauce. (Won’t you agree?)

But upon closer inspection, I discovered that it’s actually a drink. And a lot of customers are actually buying it. I did not have second thoughts of trying this and was glad that I did.

The taste is sweet and refreshing – just like how my Mom used to make it. And although Joy Black Gulaman looks like a Chinese product, I can say that its taste is truly Pinoy.

it’s my favorite! It’s sold side by side the sports drinks in badminton courts around.

Really? I didn’t expect that it would be sold in badminton courts. Wow.

@mshopeful
Unfortunately, I didn’t get those details. I’ll go and check next time. :D

Joy Black Gulaman is available at 7/11 and much cheaper than The Sandwich Guy. At 7/11 it’s only 20 pesos, while 30 pesos in Sandwich Guy. (Not sure if it is available in all 7/11 stores) It’s also my favorite!

This thing gave us a stomach virus. No wonder the bottle looks cheap and repacked. Drink it at your own risk!
