Back at Eric Kayser Philippines (Giveaway coming SOON!)

-
While I'm admittedly a rice fan, I still can't pass up any opportunity to enjoy a good loaf of bread. A few years back, Pan brought be to Eric Kayser in Greenhills Promenade for brunch and I can still remember swooning over their yummy flavored breads. It's quite sad though that this particular branch no longer is in operation today but at least they still got their flagship outlet at the Powerplant Mall.

The shop is not that big but it sure is eye-catching! I love the clean white and orange interiors where the shelves are lined with all these huge bread baskets. I peeked into each one of them as I made my choice of what to bring home this time.

A little research on Eric Kayser, I found out that his story began in France (of course) back in 1996. He was born into a family of bakers yet what made him stand out was his belief in creating traditional bread using additive-free flour and carefully selected ingredients. Since then, his bakery grew in number and later on began crossing borders not only around France but all over the world! He named his bakery Maison Kayser but everyone still calls it Eric Kayser so I guess calling it either is fine. :)

Unlike other F&B brands with several outlets, Maison Kayser stepped away from the cookie cutter business model but instead made sure that each store reflect that of its community. This is probably why we got localized flavors found in every bakery from the Ube Kouign Amann and the Mango Flower Brioche available in the Philippines. Now I'm so curious to visit as many Eric Kayser bakeries all over the world to try the unique bread creations found in that destination.

Aside from breads, they also have a wide array of yummy-looking pastries! I was able to try a box of their localized eclairs and I'll tell you more about this next time. Meanwhile, watch out for a giveaway coming real soon! All you have to do now is to follow me on Instagram and you might win all these yummy goodies that I personally picked out just for YOU!

Eric Kayser is located at the Concourse Level of the Powerplant Mall in Makati City. They also have grab and go outlets at the Podium Mall, Fort SSI, Rustan's Makati and at Forbes San Antonio Plaza too.

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...
