Snack Time: Bar Dolci's Macarons

-
My friend T has been raving about this delectable Salted Caramel Macaron that was so good it has made her cheat on her diet as she couldn't resist a piece...or two...or maybe three. T has really good taste in food so I figured that those macarons must really be THAT GOOD.

So one Sunday, my in-laws decided to have lunch at Burgos Circle and right after, I convinced Paul to cross the street and visit Bar Dolci, a dessert place where my friend T got her favorite macarons from. Actually, I just remembered that I wanted to try Bar Dolci and totally forgot about the macarons at first. As we entered the busy store, I was immediately drawn towards the gelato freezer matched with the glass panels filled with names of Bar Dolci's gelato fans. The rule is they will put a point beside your name for every purchase of their gelato and after x number of cups, you get a prize.

I tried a few such as the Salted Caramel, Ferrero (which was yummy, by the way) and the almost sold out Vanilla Pistachio. All were good and I could hardly choose which one to get. Paul wasn't in the mood to have gelato so I will be having the entire scoop to myself, a bit too much since we had a very heavy lunch earlier.

It's a good thing, we headed further into the store and saw the glass casing filled with tiny colorful macarons! That's when I remembered my friend T and her favorite Salted Caramel Macarons.


I proceeded to order and got a set of 5. One piece of macaron is worth Php 50 but if you get a set of 5, all you have to pay is Php. 200. That's buy 4 get 1 free macaron! Woohoo!!

I was made to choose my set of 5 and of course I got 2 salted caramel, 1 coffee, 1 ferrero and 1 pistachio. I carefully carried my brown bag home to share with my family for our afternoon snack.

I first tried the Salted Caramel and my friend T was right -- it was DELICIOUS! I really can't exactly pin-point what I love about it but it just tasted so right. The smooth texture, the right sweetness, the perfect salty punch. It was a perfect mix all together and my taste buds were having a ball!

Papa tried the Coffee and commented that it was ok. Mommy and I shared the Ferrero and I find it a bit too sweet. The Pistachio was good but still paled in comparison to the delicious Salted Caramel.

Life is sweet, indeed!

As of this writing, I can't help but crave for more of Bar Dolci's Salted Caramel Macarons. I will also go back to try the gelato and their homemade popsicles too!

Bar Dolci is located at Forbestown Heights corner Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City. Call them at 846-8245.

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...
