SEAN'S FOOD TRIP: YOGHURT WITH MIXED BERRIES

Craving for this:  YOGHURT WITH MIXED BERRIES.... so Sean got it!

ON FOOD TRIP: DAIRY QUEEN

Giving in to the cravings.  My niece's Vanilla Oreo, My siste's Mango Cheesecake and My Banana split!  We only want them at Dairy Queen.  Also only at ATC Branch.  I am not sure for i have not tried other branch.  But kiddos said not the same with SM Southmall Branch and they like the ones at ATC.  Kids so picky these days!

ON FOOD TRIP: MCDONALD'S STRAWBERRY OREO SUNDAY

Craving for Ice cream while experiencing typhoon!  Wanting some Mochis but nothing available near me.  Something close to work is McDonald's.  So right after lunch i headed out to get some sundae.  I usually go for frozen yoghurt but wanted to try their new Strawberry Oreo.  I am not a fun of Oreo on ice cream because it makes it so sweet. I tried it anyways.  Yes, it was too sweet for me.  But kiddos will love it for sure especially my niece, Nicole.  She loves strawberry, Oreo, and sundae!

ON FOOD TRIP: TOUS LES JOURS

Not into sweets much but i am in awe as always with these artful presentation of cakes @ Tous les Jours!  Food for my eyes.  Surely, those with sweet tooth would enjoy more. I love their macarons, bread and pasties.  Will share you more from this shop on next posts!

ON FOOD TRIP: J.CO DONUTS & COFFEE

What we've got on this box: Forrest Glam, Avocado Dicaprio, Snowhite, Choconutzy, Oreology & Heaven Berry

Another to-die-for sweetness!  But getting them is not that easy.  You will have to fall in line and be ready to get served like after 20 to 30 minutes.  Like i said i am not into sweets much but these donuts are not too sweet for me so it's a YAY!  Remember when you plan to get them, they are cheaper by the dozen.

ON FOOD TRIP: MOCHIKO MOCHI

Mochiko Mochi in Vanilla Rose, Avocado and Mango & yogurt

Mochiko mochi a day keeps the cravings away...  or should i say, intensifies the cravings more.

We just can't get enough.  Our favorite hang out like after dinner with colleagues is staying at Mochiko shop for some mochis.  I  am to blame tagging them up to this addiction.  Now every time we dine out somewhere at ATC, we always end up having desserts here. That is what we have in common, the love for mochi!

ON FOOD TRIP: CLASSIC CRAVINGS MANGO CAKE

A gift for my niece, Nicole.  

Classic Mango cake from Cravings is to die for if you have sweet tooth.  The side of the cake is purely white chocolate.  The cake is layered with cream and chiffon, and topped with mango slices and syrup.  It is not too sweet, reason why i loved it.  I satisfied my cravings!

We rate this out of 5:
Design and Packaging: 5
Cake over all presentation: 5
Sweetness: 4 (not too sweet, which is good for me),
                   3 (on the white choco siding, too sweet for me)
Will recomend: Yay

ON FOOD TRIP: KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS

Something i brought home for the kids, KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS.  The kids, especially my nephew Kurt, loved these kind.  He is so into sweets and these were gone in 60 seconds.  Nicole on the other hand preferred just simple looking ones, not much topping that is.

We rate this out of 5:

Variety: 5

Presentation/Packaging: 5

Sizes: 5 (they have minis, yay)

Ambiance/Locations: 5

Sweetness: Kurt rated it 5,  I rated it 3 - too sweet for me.

ON FOOD TRIP: CAKES, CUPCAKES & PUFFS

Choco Puff

Red Velvet Cupcake

Mini cake

Thanks for the thought!  Sweetness!  Among the three, it is the Red Velvet cupcake i like more.

ON FOOD TRIP: STRAWBERRIES, KISSES & ICE CREAM

Strawberries i got from Baguio

When in Baguio, there is no going home without getting some strawberries from the market. One of my favorite fruits ever since.  Kurt, my nephew, liked it too and asked me to bring home some.  It was just good luck that they were sweet then so i got myself a couple of kilos to take home. But then along the way, i got tempted and ate almost a quarter. I just can't resist.

When i got home, my nephew and niece had a total blast.  With their ice cream, they indulged immediately with their cravings for the fruit. 

A heart shaped strawberry

I just wish we can have strawberries all year round and readily available here anywhere.  But we are living in the tropic and it's so frustrating. :(

SEAN'S FOOD TRIP: CREAMY JELLY SALAD

Originally, it was meant to have shredded or cubed young coconut meat in pandan flavor.  But since coconut is not readily available in Sydney, but using same ingredients minus the coconut, here now for dessert is Creamy Jelly salad! Easy to prepare delish! Best serve chilled!

SEAN'S FOOD TRIP: CASSAVA

Here are other ways on how to prepare cassava...steamed and topped with cheese and the one below wrapped with banana leaves and steamed. Either way,  you will never go wrong!

SEAN'S FOOD TRIP: CHEESY RICE CAKES

Fresh hot Steamed rice cake with cheese toppings! Yummy!

SEAN'S FOOD TRIP: THE WHITE HAT

@ The White Hat - Italian Frozen Yogurt

Love these froyo!  Sean's food trip on an extreme hot weather while on  his travel to the Philippines.  His was the one below, Pinoy hat, one with choc nuts and barquillos toppings.  Gotta love 'em!

MITCH COOKS: CRUNCHY BANANA CARAMEL WRAP

We got ripe native banana from my uncle's backyard.  I wrapped banana slices, sprinkled with brown sugar, fried and rolled in some hot caramel. Now ready....Crunchy Banana Caramel Wrap topped with Macapuno strips! Something for the hungry birdies at home!

ON FOOD TRIP: HALO-HALO

When it is so hot and all that you ever wanted were ice just melting in your mouth...Halo halo can beat the heat. It is always a summer hit!

Halo-halo is a mixture of pre-cooked sweetened banana, sweet potatoes, brown monggo beans, nata de coco, gelatin, tapioca balls, evaporated milk, sugar and shaved ice, topped with scoop of ice cream and leche flan. Shredded cantaloupe or melon  and young coconut meat can be added.  I just love the taro flavored ice cream on top.

ON FOOD TRIP: THE WEDDING CAKE

The topmost layer of the wedding cake.

This got story to tell.

Let me tell you about it later.


06 April 2012: Now this is my story.

Nicole, my niece, was so excited about the cake that she wanted a piece for her to take home. The middle portion was already taken off leaving the topmost and lower part of a three layered wedding cake by the table. She came near her mom holding the topmost part that she asked if she can take home. Thing was, it was not a cake at all but rather some styro-covered fondant to decorate the top of the real cake, which in this case was the middle part only. Aawww poor Nicole, she was so frustrated learning it was not real. Not all things beautiful are real, Nicole. :)

But she had her cake alright. We dropped by my cousins' place and we shared the wedding cake.
