A Surprise Gift from Eirene

10.10.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

They say big surprises come in small packages but not this one from Ms. Eirene of Eve’s Cakes and Sweets who dropped by our office today to deliver a cake order to an office colleague, and she left me this very delicious gift:

It’s Eireen’s version of Sans Rival (french words for “without rival”) which, as you can see in the picture above (taken in my new Sony Experia P – more on this soon!), is generously covered with nuts!    It’s a very rich dessert that is best paired with hot black coffee (no sugar!) or tea.

This sans rival particularly has a chewy texture for its thick meringue wafers, sandwiched by rich butter cream filling folded with nuts.     The butter cream filling may look thick in the picture but it’s not – so health-conscious dessert-lovers need not worry about drastically adding in weight.

Thanks so much for this lovely surprise, Ms. Eirene.  I now have your sans rival and blueberry cheecake in my list of “Drool-worthy Desserts”   =)

P.S.  Watch out for the mini-cake version of Eirene’s blueberry cheesecake and sans rival – perfect as gifts to your loved ones and friends this coming holiday season!

#throwback to June 2019 when we visited Windsor Ca #throwback to June 2019 when we visited Windsor Castle as part of our 9-day tour of UK and Scotland. We were also able to tour the many grand rooms inside the castle, and then walked to St. George's Chapel. Watching the funeral of Prince Philip yesterday made me reminisce about our UK trip. The Quire inside St. George Chapel (where the mass and lowering of the coffin were held) looked so wide on-screen. But actually, when I was there I was surprised to find that black-and-white checkered aisle so narrow and compact. I have no souvenir photos of me inside the Quire because taking photos is strictly prohibited. But there's a beautiful altar behind it where we offered candles and prayers. RIP Prince Philip 🙏 #England #windsorcastle
Watched too many 'Top Chef' episodes this week at Watched too many 'Top Chef' episodes this week at Netflix, so I was craving for duck tonight 😁 The Aburi Duck from @ikomaistreet is the perfect choice for me because I prefer the usual smoked duck but this one's half broiled only, so it's still a little pink but very tender, with very clean taste. I love the sauce and the brown Japanese rice that came with it. Will definitely order this again (and share na with @ajdeleon77😜)

I think he can sense it if I'm stressed, and needed a break from my work laptop. Anyway, get down na Catcaaat!

The Kalachuchi painting in the mug is really pretty and relaxing to look at, making this my favorite morning cup now. Thank you Ms. @hephepyeye for helping me get the mugs! The other one I gave to my mommy 😊
