Celebrating the World Cup 2014 Fever with BreadTalk Singapore

-
I grew up in a country that loves basketball. From the major associations down to the university-led ones, people from all walks of life would have his and her favorite team/s. I have to admit, I'm no sports fanatic and the only time in my life wherein I religiously watched the game was during my university years as my family is a fan of the Ateneo Blue Eagles mainly because my sister goes there (or I think that was the reason haha). After my sister graduated, we became less and less attuned to the games save for Paul who's a loyal Green Archer through and through.

So, when the World Cup began a few days ago, I somehow couldn't join in the conversation as I know nothing about it. Well, I do know it's being held in Brazil..and that's pretty much it. But hey, I'm no party pooper! While everyone around me are closely watching the game, I found a way to show my support and to share the World Cup spirit and that's through -- FOOD!

During a visit to BreadTalk over the weekend, I noticed that they have added new items to their line up which are all in line with the World Cup season.

Check out the Dillopillo 狄罗枕 (S$1.60), shaped after Fuleco, the armadillo mascot of the World Cup 2014. This one is filled with fiery chicken sambal which definitely has the spicy kick. Paul liked this very much and is hoping this will be a mainstay from now on.

We also tried the Go Goal! 金球 (S$1.40) which is a cutie football-shaped bread filled with chocolate and custard cream. This was what I liked the most. It's bigger than a munchin yet it's so yummy that I wished I had more to enjoy.

Lastly, we also had the Jerseylicious 杰出力士 (S$1.50). Brioche bread shaped like a jersey and is filled with lemon custard and topped with chocolate icing. We were looking for a number 10 or 11 which are our favourite and lucky numbers. Sadly, we settled for number 12 which was close enough. Among the 3, this is the one that I liked the least. I found the filling to be a bit lacking that all I could taste was the bread. It might be better if they filled this with lots of chocolate too.

As we stepped out of the store, we realized that there's actually a fourth promotional product -- the Superstix 球签 (S$2.30). Not quite themed for the World Cup but it would definitely be a great snack to munch on while enjoying the game. I'm definitely going back for this as I loveeeee breadsticks!

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...
