Wholesome Goodness at GrandMomma's Kitchen

February 20, 2013

GrandMomma's Kitchen
G/F Il Terrazzo Bldg.,
Tomas Morato, Quezon City
09178030211

A few weeks ago, I tried out the newest restaurant in Il Terrazzo called GrandMomma's Kitchen. The restaurant has a homey ambiance that will make you want to order everything on the menu ; )

 Strawberry Banana French Toast PhP 165

I ordered a Strawberry Banana French Toast under the All Day Breakfast section. At PhP 165, it was worth it. As you can see in the photo above, the restaurant did not scrimp on its ingredients. There were generous slices of bananas and strawberries as well. Oh, and I love the whipped cream on top ; )

To know what else I ordered, read after the break....

Georgina Wilson Loves Magnum Chocolate & Strawberry

Hello! I just got back from Magnum Ice Cream: Bigger and Better 2013 press launch held in URBN Bar and Kitchen. This year, Magnum family welcomed its latest brand ambassador, Georgina Wilson. Oh, not only that, Magnum also introduced two new flavors in its existing line - Magnum Chocolate Brownie and Magnum Chocolate & Strawberry.

New Find: Burger Bar in Greenbelt 2

January 14, 2013

Burger Bar
2nd Fl. Greenbelt 2
Ayala Center, Makati

A friend invited me over to try out the newest burger in town- Burger Bar. In this restaurant, you can be The Boss because you can actually choose everything that goes in your burger, yes, even the bun!

The Hangover Burger (single patty) PhP 285

Onion griddles double patty Big Game Blend of hanger and brisket, yellow cheddar, crisp proscuitto, fried egg, arugula, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce & house aiola all on a sesame bun

Since all four of us are first-timers, we decided to give Burger Bar's hand-crafted, freshly ground on-site, custom blended patties a try. These are 100% pure beef and are seared only upon order.

The Hangover Burger was actually served last but it's sooo good that I am making it this post's primary photo. It doesn't hurt that it looks good too ; p

To taste a little bit of everything, each burger, except for The Lamb Burger, were divided into four. Imagine our fear of splitting the burger into four when The Hangover was served to us. At one point, we all thought that the egg yolk will spill over but it did not. We were all able to eat our fair share of the burger ; )

The Hangover is also available in double patties for PhP370. 

Surprise! Surprise! J.PoPs Baby Donuts from J.CO

Remember my post about J.CO Donuts & Coffee opening a store here in Manila last January? Well, in less than a month's time, you will be able to savour the signature soft bite that only J.CO can offer. In the meantime, let me show you a sneak peek of what to expect on the shelves of J.CO.

 salivating yet?

3 boxes of J.PoPs Baby Donuts were delivered to my house last week. A box contains 24 delectable bite- sized donuts. This is perfect! I can try different flavors in one seating ; p Affordable at only PhP 250 per box!

This is just our first two drinks lol Kiwi is good but the watermelon is too sweet. After the first glass, I requested that no syrup will be added on my second glass of watermelon ; p

hot choco  PhP90

My dad's stomach acidity is acting up so he decided against ordering for a cup of coffee. He ordered hot chocolate instead. He loved the cocoa taste. It reminded him of his childhood days wherein cocoa tablet is dropped in a boiling water.  

My Skin Cravings

Skin Cravings by Innovitelle, Inc., a subsidiary of United laboratories, Inc., sent over a bag full of body lotions and body scrubs. 

Skin Cravings Smooth Over in Strawberry Cream 250ml PhP240

Strawberry is a favorite of mine and lucky me I got it both in lotion and body wash. I super like the smell. Now you know why I don't wear perfume that much because I am addicted to body wash and lotions! Remember when I went loco and hoarded lotions and body wash during The Body Shop Warehouse Sale?

McDonald's Fruity Strawberry Twist Sundae

McDonald love ko 'to! Fruity Strawberry Twist Sundae PhP32

I love their old version of strawberry sundae- vanilla ice cream with strawberry and strawberry syrup. I dislike the new twist that they added- wafer stick. But I love anything strawberry + ice cream so I will still eat this haha

Senior citizens, you only have to pay PhP22 for an order of Fruity Strawberry Twist Sundae! ; p

Berry Good California Long Stem Strawberries

Yey! My DH is back from Hong Kong. He brought a lot of strawberries. Not just your normal tiny strawberries but the California long stem ones. I cringe when I saw 4 boxes. I already thought of dipping the strawberries in melted truffles thinking that it will be sour but when I took a bite it's not.

Berry Good 1 pound HKD43

These strawberries were so good that I was not able to melt the truffles because the strawberries were now all gone ; (
