SELECTA HERSHEY'S COLLECTION : REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

I went to the grocery to pick up some household thingies when I saw this on the ice cream freezer chest, Selecta's Hershey's collection. The other two is Hershey's Milk Chocolate and Hershey's Kisses. Since I love peanut butter and Reese's i chose this.

Seems like plain chocolate ice cream on top but it has a lot of reese's peanut butter cup chunks on it.

Its ok ..... but their chocolate truffles by Chef Laudico is still the best for me.

BRAZO DE MERCEDES By The Sweet Life by Ange

Gidget, a  chat friend of mine introduced me to The Sweetlife by Ange. Her knowing my sweet tooth recommended their Brazo de Mercedes to be the best she ever tasted.

Having searched their site :http://www.thesweetlifebyange.com/index.php?page=sweet-surrender , I have also shared this new found information to a fellow sweet tooth friend of mine, Ghelai who graciously brought me some to taste ....

Their brochure 

the brazo de mercedes before opening the package

this one cost less than Php 300.00, just enough for hubby and me

My "tikim" almost took more than 1/4 of the whole piece ...

Layers of soft meringue, custard and french vanilla ice cream on graham craker crust and its a must that it must be frozen or else the ice cream would melt.

My verdict: a nice twist on a classic brazo de mercedes. for a sweet tooth like me, i did enjoyed every bite and finished the whole piece in one sitting (with hubby having to eat 1/4 of it) but i don't think i can finish another piece one after the other. it has some "suya" factor that needs to fade first before you could enjoy another bite after eating a big chunk. but i would definitely come back for more and probably would enjoy other flavors like mango, strawberry and chocolate which you have to order in advance.

The Burger Project

After seeing this Burger store at a blog site and watching it in one of the episodes of Where you at in MYX, i have been bugging my brother to visit the place.

Last Saturday, we did had the chance to go here.The place was not that big. I was a little deceived by the pictures ....  Never the less , the place was cozy enough for a burger joint

List where you can customize your BRGR ...

Designer BRGR Board

My filled up Order sheet ... 

Order sheets are then submitted at the counter

Vanilla Milk Shake - Php 145.00

Their other milk shakes variants are strawberry, blueberry, choco peanut and good ol choc'lit all for Php 145.00 each

I'm a sucker for anything sweet and their milk shake did not disappoint

Marky Mark BRGR  (hubby's Burger creation)

 Beef burger, Blue cheese, Mango salsa, Jalapeno peppers, tomato in Poppy seed bun

Hubby did like his burger but claims he liked the burgers more in Wham Burgers.

I think its all in the combination ....

Fries - Php 60.00

This was supposed to be for my niece Ria 

We should have told them not to put chili powder

Sweet Potato Fries - Php 60.00

 This one was better than the fries. The natural sweetness of the sweet potato compliments the light kick from the chili powder

TOFURIFIC BURGER

Tofu BRGR, mozzarella cheese, Mango salsa, lettuce and tomato in an Oatmeal bun.

I did go for the lighter choice and it all tasted well together.

BUNGAL BRGR

This one was Kuya's Friend Burger.

Beef burger, cheddar cheese, pineapple slice, onion rings, egg and bacon in a Poppy seed bun.

An odd combination. But a very good and filling one according to him.

Funny name. He may turn out BUNGAL if he had this burger all in one bite, hehe.

BUNGO BRGR

My Kuya's burger. 

Chicken burger, cheddar cheese, canadian bacon. tomato and lettuce in a poppy seed bun.

They had this sliced in half since he's claiming he's on a diet and shared this with his wife.

Having my first bite on my TOFURIFIC BURGER

The burger was really huge and I wasn't able to finish mine and had more than half of it to go.

Hubby looking satisfied with his BRGR

Me and My Niece Ria

 I just can't resist having our picture taken at the wall with their logo inside the store

Sunday Lunch at Tokyo Tokyo

After going to Mama for a visit and  to bring some of my baked cookies, we ended up having lunch at Tokyo Tokyo at Victory Mall here in Caloocan

4 pcs California Maki 

Eto lang ang sushi na nakakain ko. Ni hindi namin nagalaw yung wasabe. Not a big fan of it. Para kasing nagagagat yung anghang.

Signature red Iced tea

Although masarap Iced tea nila, parang mas masarap dati. Lately kasi madalas natatabangan ako every time we get to order this.

Marianna having as sip from Daddy's Iced Tea

 Ang anak ko, pawis na pawis. Napaka mainitin kasi nya at ang kapal ng buhok. Bukod pa dun, nag tatalon sya sa kama dun kila mama habang pabalik balik na nakikipag laro ng peak a boo sa lola nya.

Sumo Remix : Beef Misono with Prawn and Vegie Tempura

I rarely eat beef. But if i do i really dont eat much. Gulay at yung tempura ang kinain ko dito. Si yanna gusto nya yung beef kaya yun sinusubo ko sa kanya.

Hubby getting a Prawn Tempura

It was his place of choice and already had this in mind when we came in. He really loves prawns/shrimps.

We left full and had a short walk from here to Pure Gold to buy some stuff .

Parang medyo matatagalan na ulit before we come back to Tokyo Tokyo again to dine out. Wala na kasi sila masyadong bago to choose from. Tapos nawala pa yung Tuna Misono na fave ko. I hope they'll bring it back again.

Lunch Date at Sbarro

Last thursday, Hubby accompanied me when I renewed my passport.

I promised to treat him for lunch to any resto of his choice ...

We ended up eating at Sbarro

 Deep-Dish pizza and Cream Dory in Lemon Sauce

The meat lovers deep dish pizza was soaked in tomato sauce and most of what I can taste from it was bell pepper. I prefer their white deep dish pizza.

The cream dory in Lemon sauce was nice and light.

Egg plant parmegana & a slice of cheesecake (toppings: blueberry, mango & cherry)

The eggplant parmegana tasted like the deep dish pizza except with the eggplant. Probably because of the same tomato based sauce in it.

The cheesecake was really good. I would order a slice of this again when we dine out at Sbarro.



We always order Raspberry Iced tea when we go here   ...

After lunch, hubby and I did some HHWW at the mall as we scout for an oven range ....

Then we head on Dairy queen to rest our feets and have something sweet and refreshing sa well



 Citrus Cooler for Hubby (Php 79.00)

Small Green Tea Moolate for me (Php 39.00)

My green tea moolate was relatively small but it was all the satisfying bulk that I really needed. It was tasty too. I could compare it to the Green tea smoothies in some fro-yo stores.

I love eating out. Specially with hubby. While he's here on leave for work, im looking forward for more eating out dates with him and Marianna.

Balsa sa Niugan

Last monday nag dinner kami ni Hubby sa balsa sa niugan sa malabon with kuya and his friends.

It was my first time to go there and I specifically asked my kuya to tag us along kung mapupunta man sila dun.

Sinigang na Hipon 

(favorite ni Hubby) 



Buttered Chicken

Ayoko nito. Masyado mamantika. Yung breading lasang hotcake. Binigay ko kay kitty cat sa ilalim ng lamesa namin yung harina, hehe.

 Pansit na Bihon

Masarap kasi madaming sahog lalo na vegies. Eto kinain ko di ako nag rice.



Lumpiang Shanghai

Pork Sisig

Eto masarap. Naka dalawang order kami.

Yun natira inuwi namin kinain pa ni Mark as almusal nung umaga.



Medyo naumay ako kaya inaya ko si Mark na bumili ng cake sa kapihan nila ... 

Di ako nag order ng coffee kasi gabi na at baka di ako makatulog.

Pero I'll definitely try some pag balik namin. 

Assorted cookies and teas ...

Coffee cup sizes ...



Assorted cake slices

I took home a slice of blueberry cheesecake and chocolate dome cake and a peppermint brownie.

Lahat masarap!

We'll go here again, probably with friends naman :-)

2 Great Lunch Treats from Starbucks

Had this one day for lunch. Simple yet satisfying and very filling. For Php 95.00 its worth it, healty pa.

They also have this in focaccia bread which I prefer more than the bagel.

This pasta salad has roasted vegies ... mushrooms, carrots and zucchini.

Sulit na din at nakakabusog. Not to mention healthy pa, no mayo and nothing anything fatty except for the healthy fat dun sa pesto sauce (oil), hehe. Madami din yung pesto na kasama in a separate container kaya mareregulate mo gano kadami gusto mo mailagay.

Saw this in Crunchy Munchie's  blog kaya I tried some. No regrets naman. Masarap e :-)

CONTIS

Last saturday before going home from Marianna's gymboree class at Trinoma, I asked hubby if we could pass by Contis to buy a slice of their famous Mango Bravo.

We bought some Chicken pies (Php 25.00/ea), a slice of Mango Bravo (Php 120.00/slice) and half a box of their assorted pastries (Php 150.00)

Assorted Pastries

All of these taste good. I particularly like the marbled brownies.

A slice of Mango Bravo.

Now I know it does taste good.

Even hubby liked this.

I hope we can try some of their dishes the next time we go there but another slice of Mango Bravo will definitely be on our menu again.
