F All Day Dining at F1 Hotel Manila

-
After checking in at F1 Hotel Manila for a quick overnight staycation, Paul and I, together with my MIL and FIL headed down to the 3rd level for lunch! I love that the restaurant is named F All Day Dining as you all know that F is my favorite letter! :)

It's the hotel's main restaurant that offers all-day buffet from breakfast to dinner. They also have a little spread during afternoon tea! How cool is that? Anyway, the theme during the time that we went was Chinese New Year so the buffet has predominantly Asian/Chinese dishes to celebrate the occasion. Our lunch also fell on a Friday which means all meatless dishes for me. Normally, this is the only day in the week where I'd avoid eating out much less going for a buffet. Well, I trust that F will have a good variety to still make my lunch satisfying. 

Let's go through the different stations and dishes that caught my eye:

Of seafood, sushi rolls and sashimis!

Bread connection with yummy hummus

Grilling and Mongolian Station

Creamy Prawn Salad

I'm so glad that F All Day Dining still has a good mix of seafood and veggie dishes for me to enjoy. I particularly liked the Yee Sheng Salad which I added a lot of salmon sashimi too. Really, after all the lo heis that Paul and I had in Singapore, I can never get tired of the delicious prosperity salad! 

The next morning, Paul and I headed back to F for our breakfast. They had a good selection of bread, cereals, pancakes and waffles and of course, hot Filipino dishes that we love love love! We went down a bit too late though so the only thing photogenic that I've managed to capture was...

THIS. 

A special shout-out to my bacon-loving friends (I'm looking at you, D R & S), the photo above is for you. you and you! 

Despite not having the photos to share, I particularly liked the sausages (as always and they're made with pork..real pork!), creamy scrambled egg and garlic rice that we missed so much! One discovery was the homemade cuchinta which was also very delicious. 

What I liked most is to see the General Manager, the Executive Chefs and other top hotel officers dining at F and the chef himself overseeing the daily buffet spread while keeping a close watch on the food safety and hygiene. That's really a big deal as they would interact with the guests and get comments and feedback for further improvement.

Visit F All Day Dining at F1 Hotel Manila,32nd Street, Bonifacio Global City. Call to reserve: 928-9888 / 908-7888.

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...
