Snack Time : Hokkaido Cake by Milk Box PH

-
Oh man! Since when have I turned into a serial snacker? For the past months, I've been snacking all day long! From chips to cookies to cakes and even to a glass of cold milk. I am forever hungry especially in between feeding the babies so after nourishing them, off I go to the dining room to feed myself. I sure hope that I can maintain this weight even after breastfeeding as I seriously am eating like there's no tomorrow.

Anyway, here's the fun part though. Discovering new snacks and goodies along the way. A few months ago, I stumbled upon Milk Box PH while browsing through Instagram and was instantly lured by their Hokkaido Cake. I messaged them right away and well, what do you know?! I got two boxes of Hokkaido Cakes delivered to my doorstep the very next day which coincidentally were the #AngTwins' 3rd month celebration. Thanks so much R for the very very efficient service. Each box holds 6 cups of Hokkaido Cakes each and it sells for only Php. 380.

So what are Hokkaido Cakes? These are super fluffy, yummy Japanese cakes which are filled with light sweet cream and dusted with milk powder. If you've been following my blog for the past 10 years, you'll know that I can't take anything with heavy cream and given that, I try to avoid anything creamy or one that's loaded with icing to avoid any tummy troubles. I have to say that Milk Box's Hokkaido Cake is totally out of this world! The cream is the lightest that I've ever had in my life and the cake texture is so light and fluffy. The milk powder also wasn't too sweet. Overall, it was perfection in a cup. I wasn't expecting to fall totally in love with it but I sure did! I had two cups within the first 5 minutes of trying it for the first time.



Well, I wasn't the only one. Even Paul and my entire family loved the Hokkaido Cakes! To quote my niece J, she said "I'm in heaven when I eat this." This 9 year old cutie surely took after her Akim (that's me) when it comes to food, don't you think? I also love how it comes with a small spoon each so you can easily enjoy this anytime, anywhere. Seriously, good thing Milk Box delivers or else I would have to pick it up and would have to enjoy this immediately in the car. Just be sure to keep this refrigerated as the cream might not taste as good if it's warm and it won't keep long too.

Aside from Hokkaido Cakes, we tried a bag of Cornflakes Clusters (Php. 200) which are crunchy cornflakes dusted in somewhat sweet-salty milk powder. It reminds us of the polvoron powder. It's a bit on the dry side so be ready to have a glass of water on the side. It was good but I wasn't too crazy over it. I guess, I just couldn't stop swooning about the Hokkaido Cakes.

 Milk Box also has mille crepe cakes, lactation cookies and Matzu Chizu (Php. 700/1200) which I promise to try as soon as I can take caffeine again. To order, message them on Facebook or Instagram. You may also contact R at +639178999622.

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...
