8 Cuts Burger Blends in Greenhills Promenade, San Juan City

"I want mah burgers!!"

 That's my stomach growling from time to time. While I'm not really a big fan of meat, there are just those moments when I find myself craving for a good piece of burger. Nothing too fancy but one with a thick cut of juicy beef, nice fluffy bun and just the right condiments to go with it. Over the Christmas break, Paul and I went on a double date with my best friend L and her hubby T. It's just amazing to look back and realize that we actually have been double dating for close to 13 years as T and Paul courted both L and I almost at the same time. It's just so nice that L and I are always in sync in every big milestones in our lives. From dating T and Paul respectively to being their girl friends and later on, marrying them and being their wives. As for L, she's now a hot momma to two beautiful kids, one of which is my super smart godson and someday she'll definitely a godmother to mine too. That's one great friendship story, if I must say so myself.

We were supposed to meet at Cibo but with the holiday rush, the place was packed when L and T got there so we quickly decided to move to 8 Cuts Burger Blend which was inside Greenhills Promenade. I was so happy as I've been wanting to try 8 Cuts for the longest time! Yay!

While L and I are almost always in sync, one thing that sets us apart is our appetite. L has the smallest appetite known to man while I am totally the opposite. Well, I guess, that's why we love eating out as she would nibble here and there while I can eat like there's no tomorrow. So, I wasn't surprised at all when she told her hubby T that she just wants to share while Paul and I shamelessly went ahead and ordered one burger EACH. Not only that, we started our meal with the Loaded Tex Mex Nachos (Php. 345) which was delish! I love how it's piled with sweet mexican beef, tomatoes, sour cream and jalapenos. The menu says that it comes with smoked guacamole but either avocados were out of season of the kitchen staff totally forgot to put that onto our nachos. Oh man! It was good alright but I want my guac, please!

As for our burgers, I went for the Shroom (Php. 295 / Php. 345) which had baby portobello mushrooms, spinach tempura, anchovy dijonnaise and black truffle aioli. I love how the mushrooms gives the burger that extra meatiness and the condiments perfectly complemented the burger. It was simple, light yet totally satisfying to say the least.

Paul went for the Hangover 2.0 (Php. 295 / Php. 345) as it was highly recommended by our server. As soon as his burger was served on the table, we all let out a collective "WOW!" It's a 1/3lb burger patty topped with sugar-glazed corned beef, dijonnaise, fried egg, shoestring potatoes, fried tomatoes, fried sage and horseradish aoili. This is a good breakfast in a bun and Paul was so sweet to share some with me. This is perfect for all meat lovers with the combination of burger patty and corned beef in every bite.

How we wish that each burger order comes with fries or chips at the very least. Over-all though, we had a fantastic time at 8 Cuts Burger Blends and I want to go back real soon!

8 Cuts Burger Blend is located at the Ground Floor, Greenhills Promenade, San Juan City. Call them at +63 (2) 656-7972.

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...
