Food Post: Maple @ New East Wing, Shangri-La Plaza

09.27.2013 by Leah //

If not for the dinner date / get-together that AJ's college chums arranged last weekend at the New East Wing, Shangri-La Plaza, I wouldn't have discovered Maple and all the good things about it. For one, Maple is the sister company of Pancake House so expect only the best pancakes and waffles here.  Highly recommended is their Big Maple Breakfast (P540.00) which AJ and I ... READ MORE

Holiday Gift Idea for Kids: Breakfast Bowl Bouquet

09.25.2013 by Leah //

These pretty ceramic bowls 'bowled me' over when I saw them at the Landmark some weeks ago.  They're cute, sturdy, and very, very cheap at P25.00 each! Last Saturday, I worked on a gift idea using this bowl by arranging inside it the following: individually packed cereal, tetra pak milk, raisins, cookies and spoon and fork wrapped in a colorful napkin.  The result is a ...

Shopping Discovery: New East Wing of Shangri-La Plaza

09.23.2013 by Leah //

Last Saturday, AJ and I had a dinner date with his college barkada (Hi Me-An and Betty!) and we agreed to meet at the newly-opened East Wing of Shangri-La Plaza in Pasig. It's been ages since AJ and I set foot at Shangri-La Plaza, so we felt like time-timers again when we navigated the main mall (naliligaw-ligaw pa ako), but it was the grandness and hotel-like structure of ...

Food Post: Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings

09.21.2013 by Leah //

I am so used to hearing this from my officemates: "You're having chicken again for lunch?". Yes, I really am a chicken person.  And my favorite part is, of course, the wings!  The reason is simple: it has the most balat (skin) of the chicken which I really love.  I also find it to be the most flavorful part of a chicken, maybe cause the meat is not thick, allowing the spices ...

Holiday Gift Guide for Tween Girls

09.19.2013 by Leah //

Don't you love it when you see two or more items inside your gift box?  Not only do I find that extra thoughtful of the giver; I also appreciate the effort that goes with picking which items go together and making sure that the recipient will like everything. Last Christmas, I tried putting together some bath items and packed them as Christmas goodies for my office ... READ MORE

Why I will love Bounty Fresh Chicken’s Top Torikatsu

09.17.2013 by Leah //

To say that I like chicken katsu is an huge understatement. I LOVE this dish and it's on top of my favorite Japanese dishes. My favorite katsu, so far, is the Chicken Katsu Set from the House of Yabu.  This is my signature order, and I always look forward to enjoying their panko-coated chicken breast that's very tender and juicy inside, and dipped in their signature katsu ...

Our Jackpot Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache

09.16.2013 by Leah //

We posted both at Instagram and Facebook this picture of the chocolate cake that we baked last night, and it made a lot of our friends crave for one!   For our first try, this is really a jackpot cake!  From the smooth and intense chocolate ganache to the moist and almost melt-in-the-mouth soft cake - everything was what we hoped for a classic chocolate cake. This cake ... READ MORE
