Food Trippings

I just got home and was surprised by two dozens of J.Co Donuts! They arrived here in the afternoon while I was at work and only got to taste them a few minutes ago. They all looked so yummy and couldn’t really choose which one to taste first. As you can see, someone (not me) was too eager to taste the donut before the photo sessions are going on hence, explains the space on the box of Al Capone donuts.  Continue reading →

Virgie’s Napoleones

My father has been to Bacolod several times. And every time he comes back to Manila, I’d expect him to be back with several packs of Piaya from BongBong’s which most people buy as a “pasalubong”. If you would like something different, we suggest boxes of Napoleones from Virgie’s. Continue reading →

Miki with Bagnet and Pandesal

If you’re in Calle Crisologo in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, I suggest that you try Cafe Uno which is just nearby since it’s literally a few meters away. Cafe Uno is quite popular with the locals and as well as the tourists. We went to Cafe Uno twice, the first time was after the sumptuous dinner at the opposite restaurant, Uno Grillery (which has the same owners as Cafe Uno) and the second time was the next day before we leave Vigan.  Continue reading →

Strawberry Sundae, 25 pesos

Finally, me and Sharlyne were able to try Jollibee’s Strawberry Sundae. Just like the chocolate variant, their strawberry sundae uses the same soft-serve vanilla ice cream topped with strawberry syrup and some strawberry bits. Their strawberry sundae is indeed for someone who has a sweet tooth. Sundaes, ice creams and other cold desserts are included in my list of comfort foods. And because you might be stressed of thinking what to do this Christmas, we’re giving away something for our dear readers everyday courtesy of Jollibee. The contest shall start tomorrow and it will run until Sunday.

Outside Cafe Monsee’s

I appreciate food tasting invitations during public holidays. Received an invitation from Nana for a food tasting session at Cafe Monsee’s. Not really familiar with the place though so I Googled it and some blogs of our fellow food bloggers came up from the search. Most of them recommended their breads and pastries.

Cafe Monsee’s is located at White Plains Avenue, just before Boni Serrano if you are coming from the Monument of Heroes in Edsa. The facade of Monsee’s is just like a typical house with white painted walls and two red doors. I already felt the homey – neighborhood vibe upon seeing the facade. Then Karla and I went inside and saw the yummy looking breads and pastries. Continue reading →
