Food Post: Triple O’s by White Spot Burger

11.22.2014 by Leah // 3 Comments

Anybody here tried the Triple O's (by White Spot) burger at SM Aura?  How did you find it?  Did you like it? You must be wondering why I am asking these questions, when I am obviously writing a food review about it. Well, I wanted to see if I'm the only one here who wasn't impressed with the burgers.  They looked very interesting in the menu; we didn't mind at all the ... READ MORE

Enjoying Life’s Little Pleasures at Magnum Manila

11.15.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

Would you believe that AJ and I visited Magnum Cafe 3x last month?  Parang sabik lang sa ice cream, ano?  Hehe! The first time we were there, we tried not only their celebrated dessert menu but their savory dishes as well.  I felt like being transported to one of the scenes in Chocolat, where Vianne prepared a full course menu for Armande's birthday, and there ...

Smitten with PiP

10.06.2014 by Leah // Leave a Comment

A few days ago I featured this Dutch shop called PiP Studio which I likened to Cath Kidston because of their colorful and detailed prints and illustrations. Click here for my post on "PiP Studio". I was particularly drawn to their birds series, thus everything in my PiP Studio 'wish list' is adorned with these winged beauties: (Interested in the same products? ... READ MORE

Vom Fass Philippines: The House of Spirits

06.14.2014 by Leah // 1 Comment

We found this new shop at SM Aura selling vinegar, oils, spirits and wines in personalized bottles.  It's called Vom Fass and to those who are not familiar with it (like me, at first), Vom Fass originated from Germany where it pioneered the trend of selling spirits, wines and oils from the cask.  They are packaged in attractive bottles, making them ideal as gifts and lovely ...

Embracing Japan’s Culinary Culture at Ogetsu Hime

03.01.2014 by Leah // 5 Comments

This is the continuation of my food post on Ogetsu Hime, which I decided to break into two (2) separate posts because I couldn't miss out on everything we had there.  Yes, they're ALL that good! Click here for the first installment of my review on Ogetsu Hime, which is all about sushi and Japanese rolls! For the main course, two (2) of Ogetsu Hime's superstar dishes were ... READ MORE

Rockin’ Raw and Rolls at Ogetsu Hime

02.18.2014 by Leah // 3 Comments

A new Japanese restaurant has opened at SM Aura in December last year, and the hubby and I were invited 2 Saturdays ago to try their selection of dishes.  We don't have an inkling of what the restaurant has to offer, but when I googled up the English translation of its name, my eyes lit up because I saw the words "goddess of food".  The restaurant's name is Ogetsu Hime, short ...

The Good Stuff #4

12.21.2013 by Leah // 8 Comments

Only four (4) more days to go and it's Christmas!  I hope you are all done with your Christmas gift shopping! As for me, I'm done with the shopping and gift wrapping!  I'm actually just relaxing here at home since last Thursday - the start of my mandatory leave from the office.  I'll be back in January na (yey!). Since then, I've been cleaning every nook of our apartment, ... READ MORE

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers
Found these Muji-inspired (or should I say, rip-of Found these Muji-inspired (or should I say, rip-off) stackable organizers at Shopee 😁 I think they're 3x cheaper than Muji's and they look durable! Proudly Made in the Philippines pa 😜 #shopeeph #shopeefinds
Lovely homemade sausage rolls from Madge's at Salc Lovely homemade sausage rolls from Madge's at Salcedo Market 😋 I also love her Chocolate Lamingtons and English Muffins 😋😋 #homebakers #australiantreats
Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito
This Pecan Bread Pudding from @ecoookie is a disco This Pecan Bread Pudding from @ecoookie is a discovery of my foodie mom @minildade and it is my favorite #quarantinedessert so far. It taste of home, with warmth and love in every bite! 💕 It's great for breakfast or even as dessert. Best eaten warm with  vanilla cream generously poured on top! 😋
I had my annual mammo exam yesterday at the new, b I had my annual mammo exam yesterday at the new, bigger and hotel-like Makati Medical Wellness Center at Ayala North Exchange. It's so spacious and so safe in there. I wore double masks (KN95 and fabric mask from @quins.ph) and my favorite scrub cap from @unisol.ph_ with buttons on both sides for the mask ear loops. It kept my ears from hurting and kept my hair intact too. Never mind if I look more like a nurse than a patient here 😁 Safety first over porma 😜
