Mary Grace

So this is what they call a "#feelingfoodblogger" blog post hehe. If you can't tell already, one of the things I love doing is eating and documenting it has long become a fun (and annoying) habit.

A few days ago I was introduced to Cafe Mary Grace at Greenbelt Makati by a new friend of mine. I immediately fell in love with the quaintness of the place but the fooood... omg.. I brought Yuki back there again the next day hahaha.

 

The unique ceiling lights made me feel like I was in a Harry Potter movie, Ron's house to be exact.

For starters we ordered the Cheddar Cheese with Tomatoes & Capers dip with Toast (P139). It pretty much reminds me of Bruschetta, tasted something like it too- just cheesier.

Pasta Amatriciana with Italian Meatballs (P210). This was Yuki's order and he enjoyed it. He said he chose it because it was the only thing in the menu that says: "For meat lovers" LOL. Anyways I tried it and I loved it as well, it was the second pasta I've tried in their menu and so far so good!


Mary Grace Caesar Salad (P175). Whenever I am on a diet and Caesar Salad is on the menu, trust that I will be ordering that one. I was going to say good things about this one because the grilled chicken was the best I've tasted, but I had food poisoning that night- and I blame this :(

It was probably just my luck, but I won't be recommending this dish to anyone.

Sangria Homemade Ice Tea (P224) is a refreshing Red Tea with a hint of citrus and other ingredients. Not sure about what the other ingredients are (i'm just copying what was written on their menu, lol) but this is my new favorite drink in the Philippines... uhh.... okay second to my green mango shake :)

Last order of that night was Mary Grace's pride; Grilled Ensaymadas (P73) / Cheese Bread in English. 

It was what made me come back again really. It is that good, it's addicting. Perfect amount of sweetness, and i'm already craving for one right now as I'm typing this. Definitely must try when you are in Manila!

HOT TOMATO

This will be a food blog, so I will not recommend you to continue if you're hungry :P

Last night was a very casual night with an old friend. I'm not really having the best time of my life right now, with all the stress at work and other personal problems I'm in need of a vacation! But alas, my next leave is not until November :( 

So you gotta do with what you already have. Grab a friend and escape to shopping paradise and enjoy good food! And for that few hours I was in the world far away from my problems.

Tried this little place at 313 Somerset called HOT TOMATO. Very casual place and affordable food. 

APPETIZERS:
Baked Escargots & Spicy Chicken Wings, Mushroom Soup with a slice of Garlic Bread.

  

MAIN DISH:
Norwegian Salmon with Mango Salsa , Chicken Teryaki with Steak and Sausage served with Spaghetti

 

Definitely going back to this place again. Visit them and give their food a try.

NANDO'S

It's not always that my family and I get to spend Sundays altogether, due to our irregular work schedules, so when everyone has an off day on a Sunday we make it a point to go out on a family date ☺

After church we had lunch at NANDO'S, somewhere hidden away at the back of Tampines Mall.

 

Don't you just love the ambience of the place? Many a times it's the look of the restaurant that attracts you to it, so presentation: IMPORTANT!

  Writings on the wall are so chick. I love.

Choose your heat before you eat! Somehow I feel dared, but guess what my family chose.


Matching Sandals and Bag from my Grandmama :)

My interesting Chocolate drink


LEMON AND HERB because we are weak like that. Haha!

I can only wish that all my Sundays are like this. Eat, walking around till our feet aches, enjoying a movie. How was your Sunday? :)

Joyeux Anniversaire Brina

My good friend Brina celebrated her 23rd birthday with us last night over some French Cuisine. I'm not sure if I ever tasted French food before but it was my first time in a solid French Restaurant. Many of the customers were foreigners (probably French) so I had a good time imagining that i'm in France eating a French dinner. lol.

I am no food blogger and those pictures are definitely amateur! It's the best I can do with my lousy digicam in a dim bistro :P

French desserts are definetely to die for! That Creme Brûlée is fantastic! and I feel really evil to say that, that Foie Gras was sumptuous! Of course I' promise to never eat one again, the making of it is just brutal. Definitely going back there again for their Creme Brûlée :D

AU REVOIR MES AMIS!

Chips and Chocolates

Choc Nut has got to be one of my favorite childhood treat and Piatos (cheese flavor previously, BBQ now). I've been craving for this junk food ever since my last vacation in the Philippines on April! So much thanks to Yuki Hanz for sending some over. On one condition though, that I double time in the gym! Hahaha. Well I'm trying!

Actually I've never been more active! I go to fitness first and I love that they offer variety of classes. My favorite are Hot Yoga, Pilates, and Weight lifting. Shock? yea I bet you have your mouth wide open right now! I never really love exercising because it is such a pain in the butt, literally, but those classes I've grown to enjoy and love! And I'm even more motivated right now because all I ever hear coming out of people's mouth is how much I've put on weight! It's starting to kill my confidence! Plus it gets harder to lose weight once you get older, so I start now. I wish I could have more time to workout though, my work schedule is not cooperating :(

Anyways I'll see you guys with more post soon! Xoxo Aim (:

October is a start of the eventful months ahead! With mine, families, friends and love's birthday, halloween, christmas and new year.. it's starting to become really stressful for me, but i can't wait!

♥ HAPPY 14th MONTHSARY TO US ! ♥

Ps: Thank you bebz for the sweet song, love you so much sweetheart!

And I hope you love my gifts ;)

MY BAKING ESCAPADE:

I baked STRAWBERRY JELLO CHEESECAKE for our special day.

Couldn't think of any other cake that would suit the occasion. I love cheesecakes & love couldn't get enough of strawberries! It's the perfect combo!

The ingredients:

Milk, Cheese, Butter, Crackers, Sugar, Gelatine, Food Coloring.. and not forgetting the strawberries!

Picked out the prettiest strawberries among the pack :)

Step 1:

Making the crust..

Step 2: The Cheesecake layer!!

Pour it in the container with the crust and chill..

Step 3: Wash & Cut the Strawberries.

Carefully arrange the strawberries on the cake

Pour the Jell-O mixture on it

Chill for a few hours and wala!

Ready to be served! :D

Eh sadly mine didn't turned out as pretty as that one, so i didn't bother taking a photograph of mine. Lol! The Jell-o ruined it! I bought the wrong Jello ingredient :(

Oh wells, practice makes perfect...

Baking was fun!! I finally got myself a new hobby. Expect more sweet creations to come! :)

Taz!

Chocolate Caramel from Chocolat ♥ by me and love.

This cake is too good to be true... all the right ingredients, perfectly blended and bake to

perfection. If only life can be as precise as this,

But it's not..

There is no comfort in food. Only the illusion that we can have something perfect.
