ChocNut For Me!

The second time for my ChocNut adventures. 

Although in another differently-designed package, the new ChocNut is still bigger, sweeter, and better. 

This time, this was a 24-piece pack of ChocNut plastic bag, brought home by my mother for all the kids at heart at home. And that means all four of us at home. HAHA

The love for ChocNut runs in the blood and in our sugar levels. ;)

Another Bo Froccino : The Cafe Coffee Chronicles Part 10

The cold evening air did not stop us. 

M and I were seated at a corner table at Insular Square's Bo's Coffee. We were having their infamous froccinos while chillaxing from the office. 

Tonight, I ordered their Chocolate Chip Froccino. It was a blend of coffee, little bits of chocolate chips, and their yummy whipped cream. 

I have to admit though, that Bo's whipped cream is not as spectacular as Starbuck's whipped cream, but it definitely comes close! HAHA. 

It was a good and relaxing night, indeed. :)

Steaks are High Tonight!

Sundate with M. 

After a nice afternoon together, we got hungry and stopped by Insular Square mall for some dinner. And a steak dish was the best ending for the day. 

Jonie's House Steak : tender grilled beef, with yummy gravy, rice, and a side of steamed vegetables in a sizzling plate. The beef was seasoned well, and grilled just right. 

It's a classic. It's affordable. It's delicious. 

A Cookie and A Cream.

Cookies and cream. One of the awesomest flavors ever invented by mankind.

So, one Sunday, I was at SM Cebu for my monthly waxing. I arrived a bit too early for my appointment so I sneaked out of the salon for a while to grab a quick lunch. 

I spotted that little milkshake stall at the middle of the entire second floor that I had been just dying to try - Koldkiss Milkshake. I hurried over and scanned their menu. 

Tada! On their bestseller list was their Cookies and Cream Milkshake.

And here's why : Two huge scoops of pure, unadultered Cookies and Cream ice cream was blended, topped with a dollop of whipped cream, and crushed Oreos. 

The pure goodness of Cookies and Cream. @_@

Healthy Simplicity.

Eating healthy doesn't always mean going the extra length of some diet meal program, and buying expensive and organic ingredients. 

Sometimes, the simplest of ingredients are also the healthiest. 

Take my pre-dinner healthy snack. Earlier today, M had brought a ripe avocado for me. He knew I was extending work hours tonight and he told me to eat the avocado so I wouldn't go brain-dead from hunger. Lol. 

Since M wasn't there to cut up and prepare the avocado (like he always does) tonight, he instead left me with his swiss knife, mug, and hybrid spoon-fork thingy. HAHA. 

And I must say that I am super proud of being able to make this from scratch! Cut up the avocado, mixed it with plain white sugar, and mashed it. 

Perf healthy snack. :)

Oh Boy, Batchoy!

Cold July nights.

After office, M and I were hungry and cold, so we decided to drop by a Carlo's Batchoy branch at Consolacion. 

Carlo's Batchoy has been known city-wide for their quaint and cozy shops, affordable meals, and especially their delish batchoy. 

Batchoy is a local Filipino dish, where the soup is made from beef stock and toasted garlic. When the soup is steaming hot, fresh noodles are then added, and finally topped with chicharon (pork rinds), pork liver, cabbage strips, and sometimes chicken bits. 

And it's even better when an egg is cracked into the hot hot soup, and there you allow the egg to cook. That's what I did with my Batchoy with egg.

Warm tummy. Warm moments. :)

Vanilla + Chocolate : My Milk Tea Chronicles Part 1

Lately, I've been hearing such good reviews for milk teas. 

One after the other, milk tea cafes and milk tea shops have opened in literally every place where there are people. HAHA. 

And with all the craze, I just had to at least try one milk tea to see what it was all about. And here begins my milk tea chronicles!

Here at Cobo, although they offer finger foods, value meals, and fraps, they specialize on milk teas. And if you know me by heart, you would have already guessed the firstest milk tea I bought. HAHA. 

If you said chocolate, then you got that right! Well, in this case, I got Cobo's Choco Vanilla Milk Tea. And it certainly did not disappoint! :)

The blend of chocolate, vanilla, and tea was awesome.
