Sweet Tooth Therapy with Scout's Honor Cookies

Wednesday, July 25, 2018

Strawberries from Baguio and cookies are a match made in heaven. 

More so, when it's Scout's Honor.

After being graciously treated to two boxes of Scout's Honor, my family had the week of their lives, as everyone was munching on strawberries and cookies everyday. The toaster oven's usual "Ding!" became more exciting and special, as each "Ding!" meant that a warm, gooey and chewy cookie was awaiting to be eaten. 

Lazy Afternoon At Kushikatsu Daruma

Kushikatsu Daruma

It's always a good time at Kushikatsu Daruma! Ah, as I type this I miss their Chuhai all of a sudden. Everytime thoughts of Kushikatsu Daruma come up, I always associate the place with the words "filling" and "refreshing." It's the ultimate go-to spot if you want Japanese comfort food.

Fun Times at Hanamaruken

Feast at Hanamaruken
There are always very long lines at Hanamaruken, especially at the TriNoma branch. But usually, not a single frown is to be seen amongst those waiting, because they know that heir waiting will bring them to good things. 

To bowls of happiness, to be exact. 

#UpYourGaling with MILO Nutri Up

Saturday, July 21, 2018

In yet another super overdue post, I am super thankful once again to MILO for having sent over a year's supply of MILO Nutri-Up!!! I can attest to the one year supply part because we really did take up almost a year, and we still haven't finished up the contents of the box they sent. 

MILO is especially relevant to all of us right now, now that it's super rainy! It's important to warm the body up given that it's raining cats and dogs almost all the time recently. What's special with MILO, of course, is that it goes beyond just giving the body warmth and fuzziness, and beyond just being great tasting. MILO has so many vitamins and minerals, and is a good source of Protein and Calcium. And as far as MILO Nutri Up is concerned, it is a great source of nourishment and energy for this generation of zombie workers.  At 50% more protein and 33% more calcium than the usual MILO, this gives more energy for us overworked millennials to keep it together. 

Memories At Le Petit Soufflé (September 6, 2017)

I'm so sorry world!!! When I did the draft for this post, it was to be entitled 'What's New at Le Petit Soufflé', but since this is still from September last year, I now have to entitle it as 'Memories at Soufflé'. I got so busy with work from then on that I barely had time for anything else. I got to the point where I barely even left the house because of how hectic my schedule got!

Food News: OUR WAY IS THE BEST WAY!

Monday, July 16, 2018


Not one to surrender to the ideal expectations set by society, parents of today take on the challenge of parenting inspired by their own upbringing, their own personal experiences, as well the different and unique needs of their own kids.

Tender Juicy Hotdog from Purefoods-Hormel – the country’s No.1 hotdog brand that ‘Kids Can Tell’ – celebrates the different loving ways of parenting through a 2-minute made-for-digital aptly called "Anak Ako ng Parents Ko."

We understand how parents today feel that their kids are growing up in a completely different generation – that it’s almost a test and learn experience for them. It is no easy feat, and while they are subjected to both internal and external pressures of doing parenting right, we want to assure them that no matter what their approach is, kids can definitely tell you only want what’s best for them," shares Mai Gonzales, Group Product Manager for Tender Juicy Hotdog.

Tender Juicy Hotdog has been known for years as a household brand loved by Filipinos across different generations. An iconic symbol of any Filipino childhood, Filipino parents of today are for sure familiar with the feeling that sharing a plate of TJ is sharing a piece of their childhood to their kids. "This film highlights the fruits of these unique upbringings, and hopes to inspire more and more parents that whatever their parenting style may be, they can be truly confident that it’s working for the unique kids they have,” said Gonzales.
