Vegan Froyo from Mahalo Acai

Being stuck indoors has given me a lot of time to reorganize my home and even my files. This unearthed a lot of files, especially pictures, that bring back memories. One such memory is my trip to Mahalo Acai with a friend.

Facade of Mahalo Acai

We took a walk and visited the place to get a taste of their vegan froyo. Our little exercise made enjoying their treats even more worthwhile - it felt like a reward!

Kimchi and Ice Cream Lunch

A mentally (or psychologically) stressful meeting can make one really hungry. Being the foodies that we were (we do love to eat), we also had to satisfy not just our stomachs but also our sense of sight and smell. For today, we not only had a filling lunch, we also enjoyed a delicious dessert.

Kimchi and Bulgogi Bibimbap (Php185.00)

We wanted to get ourselves something hearty and really filling for lunch and from prior experience, The Clubhouse at Robinson's Magnolia was the perfect place to enjoy that. The Clubhouse offers a lot of food choices from international cuisine and puts a Pinoy twist to them. I was on a Korean and Japanese food craving so their Kimchi and Bulgogi Bibimbap (Php185.00) caught my fancy.

City Food Pics at the Magnolia Residences - Part 2

More delicious treats from the City Food Picks tour. Let's get to them right away.

HOUSE OF SILVANAS
This home-based business has come a long way since it was first established in 1995. They now have branches in different malls in Metro Manila.

City Food Picks at The Magnolia Residences - Part 1

The Universe does respond to requests. I've been checking out condo units just to get a feel for condo living and of course to find something that would be my inspiration for the future.

I had also been inactive in blogger events for awhile so it was truly a welcome surprise to be invited to The Magnolia Residences City Food Picks. I was sure there was going to be food involved but to get to see their condo units too meant that I was hitting 2 goals with this 1 event.

Levante Food Market @ Eastwood City Walk - Part 1

Food tripping is always on our itinerary these days so we couldn't miss the launch of Levante, the food market at Eastwood City Walk, Libis, Quezon City last Friday.

L-R: Boxes and Dig Deep Cups from Twisted Desserts

Since it's my first event to attend as an official blogger, me and my friend came early to check out the activities. I guess we were too early because there were only a few people milling around the food stalls and not many vendors had started cooking away yet. The upside to all this was, we had more time to take pictures so snap away we did!

Delicious Discoveries in Naga

We went to a lot of places in Naga. We visited most of the churches and went mountain climbing to visit a refreshing waterfall. We even watched a movie there for only P135.00 pesos! So we're definitely going back and part of the reason is to taste some local delicacies.

But for now, let me tell you and show you some of the other delicious gems we tasted there.

Sweet Treats with Friends

Just went through my archive of pictures and I found that I have had a lot of opportunities to indulge in sweets during foodie time with friends. I'm not such a sucker for sweets.

I've never really had a sweet tooth but I do recall finishing off a whole tablespoon of white sugar as dessert when I was a child.

Yogurt Delights from Hacienda Macalawan

Update: It's been a pretty busy week (I know it's always my excuse, but it really was extra busy this week!) so I haven't gotten around to posting anything. But here's me trying to make up for it with this post, and maybe another one tomorrow. We'll see. :-)

Most people want a sweet dessert after their meal. I appreciate dessert too but I can't say I have an active sweet tooth. I found out however, that I love yogurt and yogurt shakes the first time I tasted one in a Persian restaurant and I've been craving for them ever since.

Flavored Yogurt @ Golden Spoon

I love almost anything delicious and healthy; almost because I must admit I am a picky and a moody eater. Luckily, I'm also adventurous even when it comes to food. I'll try something once and even twice if I can take it but if I don't like it then at least I didn't deprive myself from tasting what could be a potentially delicious food treat.

Now yogurt is definitely healthy and delicious especially with the various toppings you could pile on it. Me and my yogurt-loving friend (well most of my friends like it actually) went to the mall one day and after a lot of walking and window shopping, we decided to snack on this cool treat.

A Memorable Dessert in Baguio

Still on Baguio, one of my companions celebrated his birthday on the day of our arrival to watch the Panagbenga Festival, so to celebrate we had lunch at one of the restaurants along Session Road. I don't remember the name of the resto but I do remember that their desert was delicious.

We also enjoyed their main dishes of course but the desert was the most memorable to my palate. Here's a closer look at what's inside each of the bowls.
