Bon Appetit à Cuillere

-
"Welcome to Cuillere", the cheerful server greeted us as we entered the cozy yet formal looking restaurant on lazy sunday afternoon. I had to ask her to slowly repeat the name of the restaurant in order to get the right pronounciation. "It's kwee-yer, Maam, with the silent Ls", she explained.

"Kwee-yer" repeating after her...sounds great!

As we sat down, I glanced at the paper place mat in front of me and there it was. The pronounciation guide and the definition of the restaurant's name:
Cuillere [kwee-yer] n. b. 2007 1. French word for spoon. 2. Choice utensil for Filipinos 3. A perfect bite: a spoonful

One thing I love about dining out is being able to know more about the different cultures and appreciate the beauty of it.

I've been receiving a number of raves about Cuillere and most of it were about its famous carabao milkshake. Sadly, I'm lactose intolerant thus I have to skip this one but nonetheless enjoyed my visit by trying out their best-selling dishes that made Cuillere one of the most talked about restaurants in Serendra.

We wanted to keep it light and simple that we settled for the following:

Sausage Platter (P395)-- I loveeeee sausages so how can i say NO to an opportunity to try an assortment of sausages served with, my latest discovery turned favorite, Saurkraut, and creamy mustard? However, I think I got a little too excited blowing my expectations way up there and later realizing that this dish was just a-ok but nothing remarkably spectacular. Some pieces were a little bit overcooked that it turned out a bit dry and, sad to say, boring.

Monsieur Cuillere (P275)-- I love Croque Monsieur because it turns a simple ham and cheese sandwich into a yummy delight! My favorite Croque Monsieur is from Bizu and Cuillere's version was pretty good too! I love the crunchy, salty and super cheezy coating on top of the sandwich which blends well with the flavorful ham and the subtle, melt-in-your-mouth gruyere and bechamel cheese spreads. Paul enjoyed the thick fries served with aioli sauce which he later traded off for good ol' tomato ketchup to lessen the calories (hehe).

Late afternoon is the perfect time to sit back and relax at Cuillere. No waiting lines and you even get to pick your own spot because the restaurant is almost empty. In fact, there were only three occupied tables during our visit. The servers were super attentive to all our needs and even patienty answered all our inquiries and made wonderful suggestions as well.

Looking forward to my next Cuillere visit and perhaps this time, Paul and I can make it a dinner date to try their mouth-watering Les Petits Steaks au Fromage Bleu (Tenderloin tips and sauteed mushrooms wth blue cheese sauce). Très délicieux!

Cuillere is located at Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Telephone Number: 8563325/8167394

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
