Girl talk at UCC Vienna Cafe

-
My friend Sab and I went to the same high school and even attended the same organization then but it's funny that we only really came to know each other and became close via the Internet last year.

She's a fellow blogger who shares stories about her exciting family life. Photos of her cute little ones never fail to make someone go "awwww".

I guess it's because of our many similarities that made us click. First is our love for the color pink in fact, both of our cameras are of a similar shade of metallic pink. We both love cream-based pasta and can easily agree on which restaurant to meet up due to our similar taste in food. We love getting manicure and pedicure treatments which was actually where we first bonded together with cute little Sophie. Lastly, the loves of our lives both share the same last name so pretty soon, like her, I will also be a Mrs. Ang!

After going through the crazy holiday season of never-ending dinner outs and Christmas parties, Sab and I agreed to meet up one cozy Saturday lunch at UCC Vienna Cafe. I found out that she also loves this coffee shop not only for its coffee drinks but for its yummy dishes too!

Scanning the menu, I decided to follow her lead and order the Unagi (Eel) Rice Casserole (Php. 399). Sab told me how much she loves UCC's rice casserole because of its aromatic curry flavor and its top quality unagi. I couldn't agree more.

While swapping stories on how our holiday break went, we digged into our plates of rice casserole. I love the creamy white sauce that tops my curry rice. They also added a layer of melted mozzarella cheese which added more character to the dish. The unagi was delicious! Grilled and seasoned to perfection, the meat was so soft that I just savored every single bite. I like it that UCC took the extra step in making sure that the unagi is boneless to avoid any unnecessary discomfort caused by swallowing a tiny fish bone.

After enjoying our meal, we ordered a coffee drink to give us more reason to continue bonding. I got my favorite UCC House Blend (Php. 99) while Sab got a cold coffee drink called Mocha Cooler (Php. 145).

Nothing beats spending an hour or two with a close girl friend who can give you the best advices and who would intently listen to the latest updates happening in your life. This is why I thank God for bringing a good friend like Sab into my life. :)

UCC Vienna Cafe has more than 10 branches around the metro. They have branches in Trinoma, Connecticut Greenhills, Paseo Center in Makati, Rockwell Center and a lot more!

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

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
