Sweet & Goodies

Perfect match with a hot cappuccino or warm chamomile tea. Before we head and have a night cup,i dropped by to Sweets and Goodies and grabbed my favorite carrot cake. I didn't bother how much was it all i knew was I'm ready for a treat! The cake is oh so yummy, it's chewy and chunky plus it is not too sweet.

Dome Cafe

After having a feast at Fish & Co., we decided to have coffee and tea at Dome Cafe. I had chamomile tea and all of them had cappuccino. I like having tea after a huge and heavy meal, so calming and will tend to make u feel that you are not so full. Although i had to match it with a dessert, a carrot cake.

Fish & Co.

Late afternoon last Tuesday, I decided to satisfy my gastronomic appetite for sea edibles. It wasn’t our first choice because there were other restaurants around which also serve good selection of seafood. But today, I get to be the boss =)

CBTL: Sansrival

My sister was oh so sweet! She handed me over a covered Tupperware right when I arrived from work one night. I asked, "What is this?" She then uttered, "Just open it." And so I did! When I opened the canister, to my surprise is a slice of Sans rival from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf! I instantly grabbed a spoon and dogged into it before even having dinner.

Sans rival from CBTL is P135/slice. It may seem over the top but with its taste, it deserves a big applause! Butter content is just enough, the dough’s not tough, cashew nuts gave it a crunch and the over all experience was heavenly! Another yummy treat! Thanks to my beloved sister!

CBTL: Banana Chocolate and Honey-bran Muffin

I can't remember the exact date when I splurged into something realllllllly good. All I could remember was, it was a busy morning at work. I was so helpless together with a number of my colleagues and it seemed like work was forever. *Sigh!*

To break the spell, here’s what I did: Went down the building and treated myself a large Chocó-banana iced blended drink and honey-bran muffin at Coffee Bean & Tea leaf. Went up again after, took a few inhales and exhales and of course took a picture of my comfort food that morning and worked like hell for the rest of my effin shift.

In Pursuit of the Seattle's Best 2010 Planner

This might be too late to post since it is already the 2nd month of 2010; nonetheless, I think it is still worth blogging. It was almost the end of December when a good friend asked for my help, to complete the Seattle's Best card in exchange of a 2010 planner. Since I already have my own planner from another popular coffee chain, my good heart went all the way for my good friend. Laughs! Used to love Seattle’s best since I used to hang out here almost every day back when I was in college.

Indeed, every time we hangout instead of going to other chill places, we spent time at Seattle’s Best. I can’t really remember how many stickers we needed to get the planner but good thing was it includes not only the Christmas drinks but also regular drinks and freshly made meals. If I could remember it right, I went to this coffee chain 4 or 5 times to get some coffee or something just to get stickers from.

Then one night, we were just supposed to grab some coffee but my friend told me that if we were to get drinks there will be 3 more stickers we need to complete then we’d get the planner. So I asked my friend what the plan is. We better order some food to get the planner. And so we did!!! We ordered two of their Christmas drinks, a clubhouse sandwich, and ham and cheese omelet with French toasts and pancakes with maple syrup. We were not that hungry! Laughs!!!

In all honesty, I love their food-- fresh and very yummy! I’m sorry but I can’t remember the price anymore. But I guarantee you, if you will try their food, every bite is worth the penny! We went out of the coffee shop burping plus my friend was able to get the planner which was the main reason why we went there! Two thumbs up for Seattle’s Best Coffee.

Keema Keema!

On a Friday night, the most that you want to do is to chill! It is the last work week day and we want to unwind and just relax or hype up with your good buds! That's what I did last Friday. It's a booze night for me and my drinking buds!
There is this place that's been gaining its popularity now. A complex that consists of bars which offer good food, bar chow, alcoholic drinks and good music! We were supposed to drink at this bar (CENTRAL) our favorite but what the heck! The place is jam-packed! What the hell was I thinking, it is Friday night! So we walked around and found this place called Keema Keema...
Keema Keema is an open air drinking place, as the name suggests it is themed as Persian style. One will not notice that it is Persian themed bar since it is not visible with their interiors. But once you gaze upon their menu you will find out that it is a Persian themed bar.
We were seated at a corner since that was the only table available. I started looking at their menu and found an interesting drink by the pitcher; Fruit flavored Gin with your choice of lemon, apple, grapes, pineapple and orange and pomelo. One pitcher is P120 but they have a deal for P150 they will add a bar chow, your choice either garlic mushrooms, Persian nachos, tofu, or nuts. I did choose garlic mushrooms. The drinks came, I chose apple flavored gin. At first, I was skeptical what the taste will be but I had a chance to taste the garlic mushroom first and quite frankly I didn’t like it. Mushroom was not cook properly so it tasted like a bit raw and it garlic was not prominent as I dig into it. Next stop, I had a shot of the drink, ohhhh !!!!! There was a kick, a kick like I drunk a cough syrup! Yeah, it tasted like a cough syrup! I was so disappointed! I also had a chance to taste their Beef Shawarma (P80), pita bread wrapped with beef, tomatoes, inions, cucumber topped with garlic sauce. I was kind of frustrated because it was served cold even the pita bread! The beef was fine; it was tasty but a bit chewy. The moment we were able to try these, we were regretting why we went to this place…

I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I ordered a Persian nachos (P65), hhhhmmmm something new as the name suggest. To my dismay, the food arrived! 10-piece pita bread cut into triangle shape topped with tomatoes and in the middle ground pork. What kind of nachos is this? Yeah, Persian nachos! I tried a couple of it, oooppppsss! I don’t like it! The ground pork doesn’t even have a taste I did put some of the garlic sauce but it didn’t help at all. So I stopped eating it! Lastly, I ordered grilled hotdog (P22). The moment I tasted it, I freaked out!!! It’s not even pure foods TJ nor Swift! I was so disgusted with all of these; we just forced ourselves to finish the entire pitcher and paid the bill.

I was tipsy because I’m not a gin drinker but I wish I got drunk so ill forget that we were once in this place that offers nothing but a mess. Perhaps if I would have tried their buckets of beer with a cigarette as my beer match I would have enjoyed but past is past. I will just forget that there is this bar called Keema Keema!
The total amount I spent P409 and the rating .1 out 5. Do I need to explain why?? I guess not! So i ended up going home early and had a busted Friday night, laughs!
