White Night, Shangri-la Boracay

By | Foodie, Travel | 2 Comments

In Shangri-la, they offer themed party packages.  This is the WHITE NIGHT theme.  White Night was literally by the beach and very very beautiful!!  I like very much how they think OUT OF THE BOX like how they used the sand castles and turned it into buffet tables

As you arrive, there is an area where you can remove your shoes in case you want to be barefoot for the event.  Then when it is time to leave, they wash your feet before they give you back your shoes!

Sand castle builders so proud of their work

Banapple

By | Foodie | 4 Comments

After our delicious lunch at Fat Skillet, right beside it was Banapple.  We decided to have dessert there. I wish they had a Makati branch!  They have only two, one in Katipunan and one newly opened in Tomas Morato dsc_8349.JPGbanapple7.jpgdsc_8354.JPGbanapple5.jpgbanapple_goodies.jpgbanapple9.jpgdsc_8396.JPG The cake that caught my attention!

I asked what their best seller was and they said of course…their APPLE PIE so I ordered it too.  It was okay…maybe because I expected so much when they said it was their best seller.  I liked the unique topping with crumbs on top

Other cakes in the chiller…all looked so good!! dsc_8359.JPGdsc_8363.JPGdsc_8380.JPGdsc_8381.JPGdsc_8383.JPGdsc_8384.JPG dsc_8376.JPG

We were not able to try their food as we already ate our lunch but looking at the tables beside us, the food looked really good and their portions are big.  So it is really value for money!   Looking forward to trying them next time

The Fat Skillet

By | Foodie | One Comment

After our Easter party in Payatas, we passed Fat Skillet which was on the way home.  Apple, another one of my enterprising Paulinian friends, had invited me to come over to her restaurant.  She and her husband own the place and her husband, Jesse, is the chef that does all the cooking for the restaurant. 

We had a great meal!  More power to FAT SKILLET!!
