The Bunny Baker Cafe and Cake Studio in Hemady Square

-
On the last day of my ninja-mode visit to Manila, I was able to find a bit of free time in between running last-minute errands. The first person I thought of calling was obviously my best friend L. Of course, I started by apologizing for the very sudden invite but L quickly told me to stop being silly for apologizing and we agreed to meet up for some catching up over afternoon tea.

It's funny how a lot of things have changed over the past two years that I somehow feel like a tourist in my very own country. Gone are the days when I can quickly rattle off all the latest or must-tries food places all over Metro Manila. Today, I would rely on my family or my friends to recommends places for us to try. I'm glad though that they all have very good taste in food so that means we get to have endless yummy meals whenever we're back home. L and I agreed to meet at The Bunny Baker. I saw this days before our meet-up when Mommy and I were on our way to Quezon City. The pink cutesy logo totally called out to me and after reading a couple of blog entries, I was so excited to try it out myself.



I got to the cafe a few minutes before L did and I was able to choose our table. The chairs were painted in pink and had bunny ears as the back support. In fact, the interiors of the restaurant was just too cute not to post on Instagram. However, we were there for the food right? As soon as L arrived, we started to check the menu to place our order. Since we weren't feeling very hungry, we just got a drink each and a snack to share.

I was nursing a scratchy, itchy throat that day so I stayed away from iced cold drinks. Instead, I tried the Matcha Latte (Php. 175) as I love tea lattes in general. The first thing I noticed was the cute bunny foam art on top. I just had to take a photo and send it to my colleague and friend R who adores cute bunnies! As for the drink, this one had a strong green tea flavor. Too strong in fact that it was leaning towards the bitter-tasting side. It was just okay but I have to be honest in saying that I've tried way better ones elsewhere.

For our snack, we shared the Spam Fries (Php. 235). I've been so intrigued by this as it seems to be a popular offering all over Metro Manila so L was so sweet to allow me to satisfy my curiosity. Well, what can I say about it? Aside from being a bit too oily, it was simply spam cut into fries and fried. Sadly it wasn't even fried till crispy nor was there any other flavoring added into it. It was pretty much what it was supposed to be. Needless to say, I was disappointed more so with the expensive price tag that came with it. *sigh*

 So there you go. Admittedly, the food and drink were quite disappointing but what mattered really was the fact that I got to catch up with my best friend and we surely had a good time. Will I go back? Yes, maybe. After all, almost everything in life deserves a second chance. ;)

To buy or not to buy -- that is the BIG question ;)

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...
