No-Bake Mango Cheesecake with Oreo Crust

I'm no baker. The thought of cooking something new stresses me out like there's no tomorrow, that's why no-bake versions are a godsend! Now, all I had to do was fret and fuss about the filling. How hard can it be, right?

A Cheesecake Like No Other

I've had countless cheesecakes to date that I've lost count. To be honest, I can't make my top list of cheesecakes since everything is just a blur, however that is not the case with my friend, Yumi. There's a specific cheesecake that has haunted her for years, a cheesecake like no other.

Poco Deli Cakes: What Dreams Are Made Of

This post is so delayed, that I've already forgotten why we were in Ayala to begin with. All I remember was that the place was too crowded at the time and we waited for quite a while, despite the additional tables placed outside the restaurants. I guess all the waiting doesn't matter right now, because that lead me to finding my new favorite dessert. <3

The Ayala Triangle Chronicles: Lunch Date at Banapple

So many restaurants, so little time. Would you believe I have never ever dined at Banapple since it started last 2007? That's why I'm happy that fast forward to 2013, I was able to finally try some of their best sellers. Better late than never! I think I overly use that saying lately :)

Wednesdate at Uncle Cheffy

I've been working near SM Mall of Asia for almost 2 years now that I've seen how the corporate towers have developed over time. I've been to the Two E-Com center but never really thought of  going to the 4th floor where some restaurants have been operating for several months now, last night week I'm glad I finally took the time to peek in.

Early Pre~Christmas Dinner At Persia Grill

Makati is a treasure trove of good dining spots. Some times you just have to look a wee bit further to discover there's still more beyond what you thought was already the horizon. My house mates and I had a small Pre-Christmas dinner last week and initially wanted to dine at any restaurant in Ayala Triangle, though as expected the lines were long and waiting time takes forever, good thing Joey suggested Persia Grill, partly hidden like gem in Valero Street beside a Carpark of all places, waiting to be noticed.

A Cake So Heavenly, It's Gone Like A Thief In The Night :)

Warning: Purchase at your own risk. Any leftovers should be heavily guarded, specially when left in the office fridge. This cake conspires some people to steal, true story :)

Chocolat's Strawberry Cheesecake

There would be no description as fitting as Rachel Green's for this wonderful cheesecake.  "It had a buttery, crumbly, graham cracker crust, with a very rich yet light, cream cheese filling..." Oh wait, is your mouth watering just yet?

Celebrating 5 Years With Chum @The Sizzlin' Pepper Steak

Last October 12, 2010 BF and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. Initially we didn't plan to dine out that day, but on the day itself, I felt that it only happens once a year and it would be great to dine out, even somewhere not so fancy since we were trying to save up. BF got his medical exam results first, that showed no adverse results so that's great news for us. Then came the hard part, DECIDING WHERE TO EAT. 

BF has been trying to play safe when it comes to restaurant and fast food choices, I on the other hand am willing to try almost anything once, and repeat if I get hooked. So the playing safe BF initially vouched for KFC, the man likes his gravy. I wasn't really feeling it since KFC branches are always crowded, noisy and somewhat unkempt, although the food is great nevertheless, I just wanted to steer clear of crowds and background noises for the day.

I was craving for rice since I only had little to eat that morning, a favorite place instantly popped into my mind, The Sizzlin' Pepper Steak! BF likes it there so he no qualms about my decision. :)
