paul's 30th bday
The Food Club celebrates Paul's 30th birthday!!!

My husband Paul blew out his 30 birthday candles yesterday! He officially said goodbye to his twenties and gladly welcome the BIG 3-0! Aside from my non-stop teasing; I, together with his family, organized an intimate dinner to celebrate his birthday with our loved ones (his side and mine) and our dear friends a.k.a. The Food Club last Saturday. Despite the short notice, we are really blessed that almost everyone was able to make it. Thanks guys!! ♥

For his birthday, Richard, Irene and Lauren gave Paul a box of Homemade Treasures Ensaymada. It looks really pretty and premium as it's encased in a light brown box and tied with a golden ribbon.

Paul normally skips breakfast as he would rather sleep till lunch especially during the weekends. I was surprised when we woke me up early on Sunday and invited me to have breakfast with him. I really wanted to sleep some more but when I remembered the box of ensaymada patiently waiting for us on the dining table, I immediately pulled myself up as I am feeling a bit hungry too.

We heated up the ensaymada to make the cheese and butter melt, the aroma of this rich pastry quickly filled the air making my stomach growl louder and louder. We had one huge piece of ensaymada each where I had mine with a tall glass of cold milk while Paul paired his with Milo.

I forked through the pastry and noticed how fluffy it was. It's soft and buttery, just the way I like it. I just had to scrape a few sugar off as I find it a tad too sweet for my taste. Really, this is one rich ensaymada that anyone on a diet should stay away from. It's filled with everything deadly yet delicious -- butter, cheese and sugar. A perfect combination in making this local pastry truly a treasure to behold.

Reading the sticker on the box, we found out that this came from Porac, Pampanga. The good news is, no one has to drive that far to get a box of this mouthwatering treat as its readily available in Makati provided you order in advance.

I'm glad that I was able to try this yummy ensaymada! I'll definitely be ordering more in the coming weeks!

Price list:
Box of 6: Php. 450
Box of 12: Php. 900

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
