And it's French cuisine for dessert this time!


I've seen their branch at Eastwood Mall before though I never got the chance to try. But wanting to eat dessert (particulary gelato) while strolling around Shang yet not seeing any, La Creperie was like heaven-sent. 

Banana Foster
P 165.00

Crepe with bananas stewed in rum, butter, and sugar topped with vanilla ice cream

There was a subtle taste of cinnamon in this and good thing it wasn't like an in-your-face cinnamon taste because I wouldn't have enjoyed it if it was. The sweetness was okay, it's wasn't overly sweet, the crepe was soft and chewy and the vanilla ice cream on top balanced and put all the flavors together.


For some an order would be enough to be shared by two people but I ate this alone.

Unlike my Ginza Bairin post, these Yabu pictures are taken while I'm on my smartphone pictures "era" so bear with them. Iba pa rin talaga pag kuha ng camera ehhhhhhh kaso nakakalimutan ko dalhin ehhhhhhh.

At akin na po 'yung bagong camera ko, fairy godmother. hahaha. 

Condiments on the table for preparing your tonkatsu sauce, dressing for your cabbage etc.
Hot tea and sesame seeds

Time to grind those sesame seeds once again!
My 2nd time.
Hire
3/4 inch thick, flaky pork cutlet with no fat

In nakakaiyak 150g for P 420.00


(Naalala ko lang si Ryzza Mae nung nanood ako ng My Little Bossings nung nakita ko 'yung yellow wasabi. Naluha rin ako nung first time ko nyan. hahahaha. Hirap talaga pag pinagana ang katakawan bago ang utak eh.)
Rice, miso soup, pickles, cabbage and fruits are all unlimited.
Okay na, right?


Being "unlimited' is I think one of the reasons why Filipinos love these Tonkatsu Houses, ang hilig talaga natin sa unli! Mas appealing na lalo pag nalaman na unli eh. Mas worth it din.


And I have two reasons why I said nakakaiyak,

1. The meat was very tender and the coating was crunchy. Delicious, of course.
2. The meat was too much for me! I over ordered. Maybe I should have just settled with 100 grams because with the unlimited cabbage and Japanese rice, over na over lang talaga.

P 420.00 was definitely worth it because this was the only meal I had for that day.


The only thing I noticed with the Robinson's Magnolia branch (service-wise) was it was hard to catch their servers attention even if the restaurant wasn't that full. Yes, they were polite and looked like they were more than happy to serve but hiring more waiters/waitresses to attend to the customers needs wouldn't hurt.

Aside from the two days I spent buying some Christmas gifts, I kind of avoided going to malls to shop last December because it was soooo crowded! I was actually wondering where all those people and cars came from. haha!

 Last year's Christmas rush was really frustrating because everywhere had long lines and all other things Christmas rush comes with that I wasn't able to buy anything for myself. I mean, I'd also love a gift for me of course. hehehe. It's a good thing that post-Holiday month/season can also be synonymous for sale season so aside from lesser crowd, there are also lots and lots of discounts! Who wouldn't like that, right?

And, here's one from Marks and Spencer that have started last January 3.


  


Whether it's a gift for yourself (you deserve it!) or for your loved ones even, check out Marks and Spencer stores for their End of Season Sale. They have as much as 50% off on selected items.

I've always been intrigued by this new all day breakfast restaurant eversince I saw its Eastwood branch several months back. For experience, sabi nga. 

SM North is becoming a haven for foodies too. Dami na nilang resto! 


MAKE YOUR OWN PANCAKES!

For the pancakes, they have their choices of batter, fixins and toppings. 
There's a griddle in each table so you can cook and design your own pancakes, isn't that cool?

 Theirs is non-stick so you need not to put butter while cooking. 
Each table has non-stick spatulas, knives, forks and spoons.
Regular pancake syrup and mango syrup are also available.
You can choose to create sweet or savory pancakes and I preferred the former.

What we had were:

One buttermilk batter (8 oz.) P 225.00
Chocolate Chips P 45.00
Whipped Cream P 40.00
 Below are the products of my side of the griddle:
The interesting part of this meal is also the bummer part for me!

I couldn't even think of a good pancake shape. OMG where are you, creative juices? How can you leave me hanging all the time?

But I made a star, a circle and our favorite emoticon; the grumpy, whatever and bored -_-
This was my first batch of creations in a very very very appetizing plating.
 I just used the whipped cream and chocolate chips as toppings.
According to the person I was with, this is the proper way to cook the chocolate chips and the pancake batter. 

Wait, how can there be a proper way when you are allowed to customize your own pancakes? Tsktsk.

But I liked this better because of the melted chocolate so I made the rest of my pancakes this way.
Only true love can thaw a frozen heart...

Only heat can melt a chocolate chip and cook a pancake batter.
Nye. -_-

Chocolate overload!
Perfect combination for a sweet toothed. 
See, I am so creative.
 My "5" in 15 looked like an "S" and my smiley face which is like one of the easiest design of all looked like a crazy face.

Needless to say, 
Slappy Cakes has brought pancakes to a different level. There's really an added fun factor when you get to cook them on your own plus it's not as expensive as one may think.


An 8 oz. bottle was enough to feed the both of us.

P 310.00 + 10% Service Charge =  P 341.00


Aside from do-it-yourself pancakes they also have varieties of  breakfast meals such as tapa, bacon meals that is available all day long.

안녕하세요! 

I was out with two of my girl friends last October and we window shopped at different make-up stores. We were only supposed to look at their products but when we saw this lip tint at Tony Moly, two of us immediately got one each.

 I have been using this since the day I bought it and I still have a lot of product left.
The Korean Characters read as:

Tony Moly
Magic Lip Tint

No. 2 Green Apple

그래, 난 한국어를 읽을 수 있어.
Priced at P 198.00
Really affordable, isn't it?


I dislike waxy feel of lipsticks so I stuck with my tinted lip balms for years. Now that I've used this product, I think lip tints are much better in terms of "tint" (duh) though I still apply my lip balm once in while for more moisture.

 In fact, I consider this lip tint my HG (ume-HG as in Holy Grail) product for 2013.
This tint comes in gel form and it immediately changes color after application.

I don't wear make-up on regular days and I can go out only applying face powder and lip balm but that has changed for the past months because I can't seem to leave home without applying this on my lips first. There was this one time when I misplaced this that I did an emergency general cleaning of my super kaduper disorganized room just to find it. And I'm not even kidding nor exaggerating, I got so frustrated when I thought I lost this.

Medyo kulang na kung lip balm lang eh, nasanay ako na meron nito. Nasabihan na nga ko kung bakit daw ba parati akong naka make-up. Huhubells. Lip tint lang po 'yon.


I AM APPREHENSIVE TO POST MY PICTURES HERE BUT OKAY. WHATEVS. WAG MO NA LANG SABIHIN SAKIN NA NAKITA MO 'TO KUNG KILALA MO KO.

 NAKAKAHIYA MUCH PARA SAKIN NA NAGDADALAGA. 
BWAHAHAHA. 


Left picture was taken months ago, lip balm 'yun.

Middle and Right pictures were taken after I applied this lip tint on my lips. For me the longer it is applied on my lips (without licking, drinking, chewing etc.) the better or brighter the color becomes. The bright pink color this changes to is also the shade I prefer.

The color is lasting and though it's not really that moisturizing, it's okay since it's not also drying. Just enough. But I also bring my moisturizing lip balm with me too just in case.

And if I tell you that it smells like green apple, would you still find that surprising even if it's already in its name? Just asking. :))



This is the photo that pushed me to blog about this.
Nothing in this picture was adjusted (brightness, contrast etc.) but look at my lips or maganda lang talaga 'yung sikat ng araw. Pero swear, mapula/ma-pink talaga siya yet it looks very natural. hehehe.

This picture was taken last January 3 at Enchanted Kingdom while riding the Wheel of Fate, an hour or more after applying the lip tint.
Even though I like this a lot, I'd like to try the rest of the magic lip tint line as well.
