Chef Med Cream Cheese Brownie

Bought at P35 a piece or 3 pieces for P100 at the Weekend Fair in Robinsons Ermita. I regret not buying more and trying their other bars and cakes (butterscotch, food for the gods, red velvet cake, carrot cake, moist chocolate cake) as I'm now left with nothing to eat :-(

Toys and Pepero

Went out yesterday to do a little shopping for my son. He's been bored lately as he doesn't have a lot of toys to place with. So I went out and bought him some.

While shopping I sipped Happy Lemon's Matcha Smoothie with extra rocksalt, pearls and custard and munched on Jamba Juice Spinach n' Cheese Wrap. I also bought Mary Grace Cafe Mushroom Cream Pasta and Pepero Almond.

Jollibee Amazing Aloha

No food in the house again, so I had food delivered from Jollibee. I ordered Amazing Aloha ( value meal is not available for delivery), Shanghai and Burger Steak.

Goldilocks, Pepper Lunch and Happy Lemon

I went out today to buy some groceries and stuff for my son. But before doing that I ate first at Goldilocks. The last time I was there I wanted to order the fish fillet meal with garden fried rice, but they ran out of fillet, so I ordered the chicken meal. Today they ran out of garden fried rice, but I said that plain rice would be fine. The set comes with drinks, that I changed to pineapple juice, and cathedral cake.

After I was done with my errands, I had snacks (:-) ) at Pepper Lunch of my favorite salmon pepper rice with extra fish and cheese. For drinks I bought Happy Lemon's matcha adzuki smoothie with extra rocksalt and pearls.

Urban Fringe

I bought an Urban Fringe deal of digiperm, back massage and foot spa from Ensogo. I made an appointment for last Thursday. I arrived 30 minutes ahead of my schedule but were entertained immediately. I were guided to my seat and they started right away with the treatment. I added pedicure and manicure and were given an additional 10% discount.

I regret adding that services as it was only yesterday morning that I noticed blood coming out of the side of my big toe. The pedicurist apparently cut a part of my skin. I thought last Thursday, when I felt pain, that my skin was just too sensitive. It still hurt up until now, but I already put antibiotic ointment on it and will put some again later. I would never go back to that salon anymore. 

After the treatment that lasted for 3 hours and the one hour commute to Lucky Chinatown Mall, I was famished that I wanted sort of a big meal. I had Shakey's Bunch of Lunch and Happy Lemon's Matcha Adzuki Smoothie with extra rocksalt and pearls.

Today I was craving for Wendy's Bacon Mushroom Melt, Fries, Iced Tea and Frosty, that I had them delivered.

Russell Stover Salt Water Taffy

I have long wanted to try it, ever since I've heard of it from a Sex and the City episode. I asked my husband and a friend to buy it for me if ever they see one, but they never did. So I was ecstatic when I saw a seller in Instagram, that I immediately bought one to try.

From Russell Stover site :

"Old fashioned mouthwatering Salt Water Taffy, assorted flavors, chewy and delicious. Just like you're on the wharf in Atlantic City!"

My verdict, it tasted just like fruittella :-)

Instagram Orders

I ordered these again from an Instagram seller. 

The green tea kitkat was from Japan, while the red velvet crinkles with cream chesse filling were baked here.

Both were delicious. I just don't like how the crinkles were packaged. The container of my crinkles broke, so some of the crinkles also broke into pieces.

Vanilla Cupcake Bakery Fudge Brownie and Luscious Salted Caramel Cupcakes

On our way back to Glorietta from SM Makati, we passed by Vanilla Cupcake and bought ourselves some cupcakes to eat at home.

I've already tried quite a few of their cupcakes, so that afternoon I bought those that I haven't tried yet but wanted to. I bought Fudge Brownie and Luscious Salted Caramel. I was torn between the Salted Caramel and Butter Toffee at first, but as I am a chocoholic, I bought the Salted Caramel.

I like the chocolate cupcake base of the Salted Caramel but not the caramel frosting. It was too buttery for me. The fudge brownie though was indeed a cupcake version of a brownie. A brownie with crunchy crust and cakey insides. But I don't like it's exterior. It was very dry and hard (the brownie topping) and the frosting was not smooth and was too sweet.

Sumosam

We just ate Burger King's BBQ Whopper Meal inside the cinema ( we watched The Great Gatsby in 3D), so as soon as we went out, we looked for something good to eat. We settled at Sumosam in Greenbelt.

I ordered Tori Chizu, Chicken Teriyaki, Japanese Fried Rice and Green Tea Popsicle, while my friend had California Maki, Japanese Carbonara, Chicken Teriyaki, Green Tea Iced Tea and Pistachio Popsicle.

I like the maki, japanese fried rice and carbonara, although the noodles were soggy. I don't like the tori chizu as they included the chicken skin in the roll and I don't eat chicken skin. The green tea popsicle was better than the pistachio, even if there's pistachio in every bite of the popsicle, it was "nakakaumay".

Paul Boulangerie Cafe

We passed by their cafe on our way out of SM Aura. I wanted to try even just one of their pastries. My friend said she used to eat La Gourmandise every day while she was in Europe, and she said it was good (though the pastry she ate in Europe was not from Paul Boulangerie Cafe). She also said it's best eaten warm.

La Gourmandise is a croissant with chocolate chips and fresh pastry cream. 

I ate it for merienda the next day. I warmed it up in the toaster before eating it. It was good and filled with a lot of melted chocolate.

OVN Bread Co

Went to SM Aura with my highschool friend yesterday. There were not much stores to see nor restaurants to eat at yet. Only the food court, Jollibee, KFC, Paul and OVN Bread Co were open.

Since we can't no longer stand the dust and our hunger, we just bought pizzas and pastries at OVN to eat on our commute to Glorietta. I had the Manila Four Cheese Pizza, while my friend bought Laguna Kesong Puti and Tomato.

Both were on a sweet, thin and crispy crust. The kesong puti and tomato was better than the four cheese.

We also bought two each of the Caramoan Calamansi Muffin and the Calle Real Ube. Both were not good. The muffin was dry and crumbly, while the tart's custard tasted like condensed milk.

Btw, I suggest you don't visit SM Aura yet as there's not much shops yet and there's still a lot of dust inside. Even the stuff we bought at Baby Company were very dusty.

Japanese Candy

My friend gave me this. She said it's a favorite of Kris Aquino and Toni Gonzaga. It's from Japan and we both don't know it's name. But it's definitely good, no wonder they both like it.

Happy Eating! 

Lulu Belle Acai

Been wanting to try this new flavor every time I pass by their Makati Med outlet, and at last got to try it yesterday. 

It tasted like a blueberry but with a woodsy aftertaste.

Weekend Gourmet

Bought these yesterday at Lucky Chinatown's Weekend Gourmet. The mini chocolate cupcakes were good. I didn't get to try the polvoron as  I gave it to my mom for mother's day. Both were inexpensive at just P120 and can be great party giveaways too. I saw other designs of the polvoron, some with bags, shoes and cartoon characters on top.

Lugang Cafe Xiao Long Bao

I went to DFA Aseana with my mother last Saturday, afterwards we went to Mall of Asia to have lunch at Lugang Cafe.

We ordered Steamed Pork Xiao Long Bao, Spicy Garlic Fish in Claypot and Coconut Fruit Sago. I had the ice cream changed to green tea.

All were okay and good for 2-3 people.

Happy Eating!

P.S. Then we went to Kultura and bought some dried mangoes dipped in chocolate. But this one's the cheaper one, the one made with belgian chocolate costs P400+

Trader Joe's Laceys and Dark Chocolate Almonds

Ordered these from another seller and they arrived melted.

Already contacted the seller, but haven't got a reply yet.

The laceys I can accept, but I don't think I'll enjoy eating the dark chocolate almonds in this state.
