Deli Discovery : Poco Deli

-
There's a certain comfort that I truly enjoy when entering a deli. The little pots of bottled spreads, the freezer-case filled with sausages and cold cuts and for some a selection of quality wines and sparkling champagnes, all these complete my deli visit. I love the fact that the deli lacks the chaoticness of a supermarket, it has a very European feel that it truly a pleasant change in ones hectic life.

Wanting to spend some quality time with my mom, we chanced upon a cozy looking deli in Barangay Kapitolyo in Pasig City. Poco Deli is just a stone's throw away from my office making it very accessible for us to drop by after work. My mom loves looking at cold cuts and frozen meats, this is her weakness, I guess. She can't help it but buy a pack or two to bring home. I, on the other hand, began scanning through their menu. I was feeling a bit hungry that I decided to order some Aglio Olio Pasta (Php. 145).

As we took our seats, our eyes wandered around the store as my mom focused her attention on, this time, the wall filled with bottles of wine, while I surveyed the other group who was enjoying some assorted cheese platter with a glass of wine for each.

After 10 minutes,  my pasta arrived piping hot and with the strong scent of garlic making my mouth water even more. The noodles were al dente however I would have preferred for it to be thicker. They used the angel's hair type that I wasn't so fond of actually. However, I am a fan of garlic and I love how fragrant and flavorful this pasta dish was. We also noticed that the serving was pretty big that even after my mom and I had our fill, we even have a little less than half left which was later enjoyed by my sister at home.

Aside from pasta, Poco Deli also has homemade pizza, cheese platters and a couple of sandwiches too

As my mom continued to spy on the frozen meats and sausages, I saw a bag of cassava chips (Php 100) being sold. I bought a bag to bring home for Paul who loves munching on chips as much as I do.

Poco Deli also carries Dave's Frozen Yogurt which is great news as I do not have to wait for Saturday at the Salcedo Market to enjoy a cup of fruity yogurt. This was a perfect choice for a mother-daughter quick bonding as the ambiance is quiet and very relaxed allowing us to forget all of our worries and spend some quality time together.

I'm glad that more and more food spots are opening in this part of town. There's Charlie's Burger, Cafe Juanita, Uncle Moe's, Poco Deli and more!  This time, we do not have to travel far for good food.

P.s. Paul and I tried the Cassava Chips and it was very good! Will definitely go back for more.

Poco Deli is located at 21 East Capitol Drive, Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig City. Call them at 664-0519.

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...
