When in Manila, beating the heat with a nice cold milkshake seems to be the most sensible thing to do. And while some restaurants offer a small selection of milkshakes on their menu, no place is actually entirely dedicated to serving up the frothy treatโฆ until now, that is! Manila, meet Starrโs Famous Shakes: part milkshake bar, part college kid hangout, and the answer to your craziest milkshake cravings!
They look even yummier all lined up like that *drool*ย

Milkshakes like you’ve never had them at Starr’s Famous Shakes Milkshake Bar
Like all great things, Iโve learned about Starrโs Famous Shakes from the internet. Being huge milkshake fans with considerably sizeable sweet teeth, my friends and I just had to drag our southern bums up north at Katipunan to try out the famed milkshakes ourselves. Very few things are worth a long and tiring commute, let me tell you that Starrโs milkshakes is one of those! It was definitely love at first sip, the kind where all you could utter was an occasional โMmmm..โ between slurping, cause you ran out of words to describe how awesome the milkshakes were.
TWIX MILKSHAKE. It had real Twix chocolate bits! This is part of Starr’s Special off-the-menu milkshake selection. ย (Php 95.00)
ย
Starr’s Neil Armstrong Milkshake is named such because of its all-white color; it’s like an astronaut in a space suit! ย This out-of-this-world treat is made with sugary white chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and mini marshmallows. (Php 95.00)
ย
I did my shake a flavor and added cheesecake bits to my Caramel and Cookie Dough milkshake (Php 95.00).ย You can’t have too much of a good thing!

Owners JV Duque and Kitty del Castillo opened Starrโs Famous Shakes with the idea of reviving the classic A&W milkshakes of the 80โs. This idea has spawned the creation of an assortment of milkshakes with the dreamiest flavor concoctions. If flavors like Strawberry Cheesecake, Caramel Cookie Dough, and Choco Hazelnut and Mallows donโt get you drooling, I donโt know what will! These are just some of Starrโs VIP Milkshake flavors. You can also Do Your Shake a Flavor and mix in or top your milkshake with mint chocolate, almonds, bananas, Oreos, and other yummy toppings. For the health conscious and lactose-intolerant, fret not! Starrโs Famous Shakes also have some of their milkshakes in yogurt-based (for lower lactose content) and smoothie-based (for less sugar and fat content) varieties.
Starr’s Almost Famous Chicken Sandwich (Php 85.00)ย Their very own take on the “secret recipe” chicken; served with crunchy x-cut fries and slaw.
ย
Slammer Jammer Dogs (Php 85.00) ย A juicy German Frank, chunky sloppy Joe and tomato relish make a great combo.
ย
Wedge ‘n Wings (Php ย 125.00) ย These glazed chicken wings are a more savory kind of sweet!
ย
Mini Corndogs (Php 45.00) These bite-sized treats are made with Starr’s home-made cornmeal batter.

Munchies to go with your Milkshakes
Not only does Starrโs Famous Shakes serve up some ridiculously delicious milkshakes, they also have some great munchies to snack on! Their Almost Famous Chicken Sandwich is a very convincing rendition of a particular finger lickinโ good chicken recipe, while their Slammer Jammer Dogs are made extra special with German franks packed sloppy Joe and tomato relish. Their super fluffy Mini Corndogs and sweet and tangy Wedge โn Wings combos are worth a try too!
These are just some of the toppings you can add on to your milkshake.

Pop art on the walls! Guess the star sippin’ on Starr’s famous shakes.ย

Since opening their doors early this year, Starrโs Famous Shakes have had a following of both young and old, all out to satisfy their raring sweet teeth! Weโre still hoping theyโd open up a store here in Makati (or anywhere within southern proximity) but until then, I guess youโll just have to make the trek up north to enjoy these amazingly thick and yummy milkshakes When in Manila.
Ecstatic from the sugar rush! Now we have enough energy to make the commute home (LOL)
