Fog City Creamery

Fog City Creamery

Now, time to celebrate! My mom told me about this great artisan ice cream which she buys from Valle Verde 5. The brand was Fog City Creamery. When we had a garage sale in our house, she had three flavors of Fog City Creamery picked up.

Inside Robinsons MAgnolia, we got to try out yogurt bars and yogurt mochi. It was of a brand called Koori. Koori Premium Yogurt Creations is just a stall in Robinsons Magnolia. They also have another branch at the Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo.

Mommy Treats: Lactation Treats and Pastries

Mommy Treats: Lactation Treats and Pastries

My tummy is rumbling. It's 4:00 pm and I'm ready to get my delicious snack. I reach into the fridge and I take out a gold packaging. I grab it using one hand and I rip the edge with my other hand. A brownie unfolds and I bite into it. It's one of Mommy Treats'...
Órale! Taqueria Mexicana

Órale! Taqueria Mexicana

Can I just say "OMG!"? This restaurant is the bomb! Orale is this quaint little restaurant in the Fort Strip. I have passed this restaurant more than a dozen times already, but I never really go to try it. It was just last week that I felt the urge to eat tacos. I wanted to...

Moshi Koshi Noodle Boss at Market! Maket!

If you are in the Bonifacio Global City area and if you're craving for ramen, here's some good news. After an hour and a half of grocery shopping, my husband and I were hungry for dinner. We decided to try Moshi Koshi, the restaurant that we always see on our way to the parking of...

da.u.de (da-you-deh) Tea Corporation

Milk tea places are a dime a dozen, and although they do have a certain "comfort food" vibe that Pinoys have picked up on, they are far from being a treat for connoisseurs. This makes da.u.de (pronounced da-you-deh) Tea Corporation such a gem.
Wee Nam Kee in Serendra

Wee Nam Kee in Serendra

On one of our occasional dinner dates, EJ and I went to Serendra. We were looking for a place where we could eat good food which wasn't too expensive. You know, with the upcoming baby and all, we couldn't afford to splurge. We saw that there was a Wee Nam Kee branch. To be honest...

Rocket Room & Stella at Bonifacio High Street Central

It was one Saturday morning when we had the awarding for the Hot Young Designers 2012. The winner was Jackie Abueg (Congratulations Jackie!). We were deciding where to eat and my friend Sharon suggested that we have a lunch and a few drinks at Rocket Room. I agreed since I haven't been to the...
Chez Karine Panna Cotta and Pudding

Chez Karine Panna Cotta and Pudding

As I was cleaning the kitchen yesterday with our help, I suddenly craved for dessert --- and mind you, I craved for a particular dessert. I wanted the Panna Cotta from Chez Karine. I noticed that I haven't posted any reviews yet of Chez Karine in this site (I'm like that! I tend to forget...
Hubby's Birthday at  Xin Tian Di: Dimsum Buffet

Hubby’s Birthday at Xin Tian Di: Dimsum Buffet

I don't normally go to Chinese restaurants to go on dates. I find myself associating Chinese restaurants with family occasions. It's probably because my grandmother ("mama"), when she was still alive, used to loved bringing the entire family to Chinese restaurants for lunch. And maybe, since these restaurants would have bigger servings, I did not...
