Papa John's Pizza in Greenhills

A much-awaited meet-up with my dear friend Sab brought us to Papa John's Pizza one late afternoon. Papa John's Pizza has been around since last year and I actually saw a couple of branches in California during my visit last February. In fact, one of my cousins once worked for Papa John's when he was still residing in the US.

Paul and I arrived a few minutes before Sab did and I ordered the Waffle Fries (Php. 90) to ensure that we have something to munch on as there's lots to catch up on the moment Sab arrives. It came piping hot and crunchy. I enjoyed dipping it into their special marinara sauce which gave the fries a totally different taste versus the usual shoestring kind with tomato catsup. Sab, the ever demure friend of mine, carefully pick one piece up after the other as she updated us about her busy life as a hands-on Mommy to our cute flower girl Sophie and our handsome godson Brandon on top of running a growing business with her husband Brian. Amazing huh?!

We decided to share a pizza and pasta dish. Luckily, we all love the no-frills Hawaiian pizza (Php. 420) topped with sweet ham, pineapples and lots of mozzarella cheese. We got a medium sized  12" pizza which was just right for the 3 of us. Expect that you'll have to allot around 15 minutes waiting time for the pizza as we found out that they prepare it upon receiving an order. This ensure the freshness of the crust and ingredients which makes for a delicious pizza!

Sab began raving about the special sauce that comes with the pizza and urged me to try it as soon as it was served on our table. I took a careful bite and instantly my mouth was filled with rich butter and lemon flavor that surprisingly went well with our pizza. While I am pretty much aware of the fat and cholesterol content of this killer sauce, I can't stop dipping my pizza crust into the saucer as it can be pretty addicting. I consumed three slices of pizza and polished off my saucer and even sneaking extra dips into Paul's almost full saucer. Sab and I enjoyed the sauce and I can't help but crave for more whenever I think about it.

Sab and I love pasta and  we're both white-sauce pasta fans at that. Much to Paul's delight, we got a tomato-based pasta to try something different that day. Our choice was the Penne Marinara (Php. 190) which is loaded with shrimps, squid and garlic simmered in their special marinara sauce. Yum! I enjoyed the flavorful pasta that was not too tangy at all. Sab made a great decision in choosing the penne over spaghetti noodles as it's more fun munching on penne pasta instead of twirling long spaghetti strands.

I had a lovely time bonding with Sab and Paul while enjoying our pizza and pasta meal at Papa John's Pizza. I loved it so much that I even ordered a box of Fisherman's Catch (Seafood) Pizza to bring home for my family to enjoy. I can't wait to go back and to try more pizza flavors with their delicious butter sauce. Yum!

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...
