All Clammy!

See food? Seafood!

We were at one of the fam's fave Asian resto at SM Northwing, Spice Fusion. 

Aside from our usual appetizers and entrees, we picked a new seafood dish, Ginger Clams. 

Clam is my fave shells, and I love how you can take an ordinary clam and create a super yummy dish like this one. 

It's spicy, tasty, and the ginger does not overpower the natural clam goodness of the clams. It's healthy, high in protein, served fancy, and definitely a must-try dish. 

No regrets here!

Double Decks Ain't Just for Buses.

Posters were up. 

With KFC's new burger in town, I knew I had to try it one of these days. Lol. 

Here comes Sunday, and its lunch out time with the fam. Perfect timing to finally get that new KFC Burger!

KFC's Double Decker : Two layers of crispy, juicy, and spicy chicken fillet, cheese, lettuce, mayonnaise, and strips of crispy bacon. 

One of the most sinful burgers constructed. For sure. ;)

One Romantic Cheesecake!

Personally, I think that out of all the types of cake that ever existed, cheesecakes are by far the most romantic cake. 

Why? Well, it has a delectable flavor on top, a full and creamy cheesecake in the middle, and at the bottom is a crunchy crust. To me, it would be the best dessert to end a good date night at a classy resto, or even just a cozy date at home. 

But, what I'm about to show you is probably the best best looking and tasting cheesecake with a surprise! Presenting, Vanille Cakes and Patisseries' Brownie Cheesecake. 

A slice of that creamy cheesecake, topped with thick chocolate and cream ganache, and for the surprise center, chunks and chunks of fudge brownies. I think I just died right here. HAHA. 

I've been looking at this dessert for some time now, and I was finally able to taste it today, while waiting for the fam to finish in the salon. 

Aside from this heavenly cheesecake, I also had a quick chat with one of my good friends, Pearl. She was passing by and I couldn't help but calling out to her. HAHA. 

Oh, one more thing, it's pretty ironic with all the romance stuff I mentioned, since I was eating this cake alone. :)

Mocha and Cookies and Whipped Cream and Chocolate : The Cafe Coffee Chronicles Part 9

As my loooong blog title says, a few of my favorite flavors all merged into one amazingly good Starbucks Frappuccino. 

It was a date night well spent with M. We stayed at the 2nd floor of Starbucks, with our fraps in hand and conversation flowing. 

I wanted to try their new season flavor, Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino. 

How do I start? Hmm. Its chocolate and mocha frappuccino, topped with their signature Starbucks whipped cream - but here's the catch, its a CHOCOLATE whipped cream! - and finally garnished with a lot of crushed Oreos. 

Nothing else can describe a frapgasm better than this. 

Caramelgasm : The Cafe Coffee Chronicles Part 8

Its a cold and damp night. 

My good friend M offered to take me home that night. But, he had a dinner schedule with one of his friends at a nearby barbeque place. Which also happens to be right beside the university where I went to in college. HAHA. 

I was out by 6pm, and I decided to kill time at the nearest Starbucks Coffee at Oakridge Business Park. M was supposed to text me when they were done so we could go home together. 

Sitting at Starbucks, cold, and alone, with some soft and sappy slow music at the background, I chose to treat myself with a tall Caramel Frappuccino. 

I love love love their whipped cream, especially when its drizzled generously with caramel. 

Sitting alone is not so bad after all. :)

Very Aloe Vera!

Because softdrinks, sodas, and carbonated drinks are too mainstream. Lol. 

I have been keeping check on what goes in my stomach since I started the whole weight loss project. And one of my accomplishments is the fact that I was, and I still am, able to control and reduce my intake of carbonated drinks. 

The fam agrees with me on this. HAHA. Sooo, to substitute our old softdrinks, we bought  one bottle each of two kinds of Aloe Vera drinks. 

The best part is the juicy aloe vera pulps found in every gulp of this drink. 

Healthy, refreshing, and sweet. Perf for health freaks like me. HAHA. 

Get Beef With Me.

It's grill time!

A few days ago, when the fam went shopping at S&R, mother found a bag of freshly cut beef slices, also called in Japanese as Yakiniku. 

Now, I'm fond of Asian food, especially the Japanese variety. And the idea of being able to grill beef yakiniku right at our dining table thrills me. HAHA. 

And that's exactly what we did for dinner that night. 

On the left is the grilling process, done in our little dining table grill. The yakiniku was first marinated overnight in a soy sauce, chili powder, and vinegar. 

On the right is the cooked yakiniku. Tada! 

I can indulge on this because I know that beef is healthy and contains less fat than other red meat. Yey!
