Breakfast at Cafe 1771

I always wanted to eat breakfast outside the house or outside the office. I'm not a morning person but I certainly love breakfast food. I love fresh egg, ham and orange juice in the morning. Cafe 1771 is open 7am and gain numerous award for their excellence. 

I love the old-spanish style facade of their building and their very pleasant staff. 

Croque Madame (P370) 

It's a croque monsieur topped with sunny side up egg. The egg was fantastic and fresh,it was perfectly cooked (no bubbles on the side) The bread was soft and crispy which is weird but very very delicious (addicting actually) the cheese and ham were nice as well. A total breakfast meal!

Fruit Parfait. Sweet and yummy. The green apple balances the sweet taste of all the fruits which makes this parfait better than ice cream.

Pastries at Wildflour Cafe + Bakery

It's love at first bite.

My heartbeat is in a roller coaster ride when i came to wildflour. It was 8am and my purpose is to buy the very famous cronuts which people are going nuts about. Unfortunately cronuts are only available starting 11am and so I just bought some pastries and ordered a salad.

I could not believe all the yummy pastries and bread inside the resto It's like narnia. I wish I could live here.

There's chocolate, peanut butter, marshmallows,cookies, bread, etc! 

Everything looks good, just like the witch's house from Hansel & Gretel.

Dessert at Icebergs

Beat the heat with Ice Cream!!

Icebergs is known for it's premium Ice Cream especially their Supreme Halo-Halo

Strawberry Sundae. Creamy strawberry ice cream topped with whipped cream, strawberry, underneath are strawberries and banana with nuts. I love how the whipped cream balances the sweetness of the strawberry syrup, banana and ice cream. (P178)

Strawberry Tower (P220) Banana slices at the bottom followed by Strawberry syrup, thick whipped cream, chocolate ice cream, strawberry syrup, strawberry ice cream, strawberries, whipped cream, and strawberries at the top. It was sinfully blissful! It was sooooo good! I didn't finish the syrup at the bottom since it's too sweet and I might end up having diabetes.

Supreme Halo-Halo. Filipino's pride and all time favorite local dessert which bursts with flavors and sweetness. It contains shaved ice, ube and strawberry ice cream (best combination), corn flakes, corn, jelly, sweet beans, milk, nata de coco, ube halaya, and flan. You have to mixed them all together (Halo-Halo is the tagalog term for mix) so that you can taste all the flavors of the different ingerdients.

Home Made Real Goodness! Provincial Life! Day 1 & 2 (Holy Week - Maundy Thursday and Good Friday)

Comfort Food!! Home is where the Heart is!

Many of you haven't tried any home made provincial food especially if you grew up in the city. I'm fortunate that I'm able to go to our province and relax to get away from the stressful life of the city. It's always a must for my aunts and my grandmother to cook many local foods that are not found in the city. 

It is always a customary to cook in a clay pot using charcoals. Cooking in a clay pot and charcoals takes a lot of patience because it takes some time unlike stoves. However, cooking in clay pot especially if it is soup based is better and more flavorful than stove.

It's an opportunity for me (working in a bank) to have a 2 days off + weekend = 4 days vacation! it's such a nice opportunity to de-stress!

Halo-Halo. It may not be as fancy as those if Iceberg or Chowking but this home made Halo-Halo taste sooo good! ingredients are all tasty: Ube Halaya, Leche Flan,  Sweetened Bananas, Jelly, Beans, Sweet Jack fruit. On top of that is Crushed Ice and Milk! No need for sugar since ingredients are sweet! Now, once all the ingredients are placed you have to mixed them and savor the cold, sweet, and delicious dessert to beat the summer heat! Cost: P20 / $.48 now that is waaaay cheap!!

Cheese Bread from a local Bakeshop - yellow bread w/ crumbs (P5 / $.12) / Pan de Coco - little brown bread (Bread with coconut filling - P5 / $.12)  / Puto ( P10 / $.24) These local pastries are so good especially during Afternoon Tea / Coffee

Fire Ants. They are big! I bet they bite painfully.

Bilimbi / Kamias in tagalog. Very Sour Fruit If you have the tongue for it then this is will approve your liking.

Dinner at Milky and Sunny

Who say's you can't have breakfast food for dinner? at Milky and Sunny, you can eat comfort food all day long! I love it here, I love the food especially the strawberry cream cheese pancake and the bacon tostadas. It's so unfortunate that the strawberry pancakes are unavailable at that time.
