Rise and Shine!

Let me start your mid-week by talking about a new all-day breakfast nook that my friend (and kumare) S and I recently discovered during my last visit back in Manila. As I've mentioned before, our schedules every time we're back home is always so packed so I normally would meet up with friends for brunch, tea time or after dinner milk tea sessions. I haven't hanged out with my dear friend S for so long and I was so happy that we finally found a common free schedule to do so.

Since we live quite near to each other, it was easy choosing a place to meet. She suggested Eggspresso along J. Abad Santos and I excitedly said yes as I've been hearing about this place from my friend T. As the name suggests, this restaurant specializes in all things with eggs. I believe that eggs and cheese are the two things that you can never go wrong with. These two can make what could be a simple ho-hum dish into one that's so delicious. The restaurant was very new when we went to visit so most of the items on the menu were pretty much not available yet. I do hope it's fully functional now. So making do with what's available, I tried the Mac n Egg (Php. 220) which was not really a bad thing as I love mac and cheese a lot.



First of, I felt that the prices were a bit steep given that they're a very new restaurant. In fact, my bill came up to a little more than Php. 300 as I also ordered a glass of iced tea. Not unless things have changed massively since I left but a Php. 300++ bill for breakfast is a bit too much, I feel.

Anyway, taste-wise the macaroni was good and it tastes like how any Baked Macaroni would taste like. Sadly, the egg did nothing to give it a more interesting angle nor did it contribute to the over-all texture of the dish. It was just... there.

S went for the Carbongga (Php. 260) which was a pasta carbonara dish with longganisa (sausage) and sunny-side-up egg on top. She didn't say much about her pasta but I guess it was pretty mediocre too.

Browsing their menu, I seriously think I should have went with the rice dishes. However I was heading off to meet Kongkong for an eat-all-you-can lunch so even the pasta dish was too heavy already. I'm not giving up on Eggspresso as I think their concept is really cute. I will definitely go back in a few weeks time to try their rice dishes and hopefully I'd hit a jackpot by then.

Has anyone out there tried Eggspresso? Tell me what you think about it below!

Eggspresso is located at G/F G&L Building, J. Abad Santos cor V. Cruz, San Juan City. This is right beside Serenitea. Call them at +63-977-8058990.

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...
