Colorful Nails + Mega Food Trip

Moms, it's kinda tiring to be like us, right? I know you know how I feel. That's the reason why we deserve some pampering, whether it's a day at the spa or a food trip all alone! Yeah, I enjoy "me time" as well, and it can be as simple as eating a McSpicy burger.

 I love McDo! I really like this new addition to their yummy burgers. Although I admit KFC's zinger is more spicy. And if you're really into spicy food, you will find zinger a better choice. Still, I am a fan of McSpicy.

It was the first time I tried the Big Brekky. It's heavy but there's something about the egg and the coffee that I don't like. It also comes with a strawberry jam which I did not consume at all.

And here's another favorite of mine. Belgian Waffles are best served hot, with a cup of coffee or hot choco. 

What I enjoyed the most is my colorful nails. They're stickers! But they look like real nail art. There are so many designs of these cute and girly nail stickers you can also find at Eastwood tiangge.

We love simply bread

Last week, Jhe and I came across a newly-opened Simply Bread branch along Cubao. He tried the all-veggie bread which looks like a square pizza while I tried the all-meat flavor. While we were on the counter, the chocolate mousse caught my attention. It was mouth-watering. I bought it, not mentioning that we also bought a huge garlic bread after eating those pizzas. Jhe loved the food as much as I do. It was the first time we ate at Simply Bread and the we simply liked it!

 Yesterday, Jhe came home with these boxes of yummy treats from the bread shop. My lola was happy with it. She likes the ensaymada. As far as I can remember, this one is around 90 pesos.

 Jhe also gave us a cake by Chef Andrew. Who's Chef Andrew? By the way, the cake arrived too early for my birthday, which will be this week. Yey, I'm excited! I bet my guy will be giving me a cake from Dairy Queen, as highly requested.

And this is the cake roll which is more than a hundred peso I guess. It's less than 200 pesos. Affordable right? The cake tastes great as well. Go ahead and try. Much love here for Simply Bread. P.S. your breads and cakes do not look so simple. They look so yummy!

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Yay it's Year of the Water Snake already. We Filipinos welcome new year on January 1st but our Chinoy friends just celebrated it lately. And we also take part into that celebration. Why not, as Filipinos and Chinese have established a good relationship even before the Spaniards colonized Philippines. Barter, anyone? Anyway, I'm also looking forward to Chinese New Year because I sooo love tikoy!

My husband Jhe bought this one last week and I just stock it on the ref until I saw the expiration date so I cooked it before it got wasted. Trivia: Tikoy or Chinese New Year's cake is called Nian gao in Chinese, which means "higher year". The name tikoy was derived from its alternate name tikay. They say it's better when you receive it instead of buying it.

My Preggy Food Jag: KitKat Wafer Fingers

If you were pregnant or currently pregnant, you might have experienced this weird thing "craving". I read from the Baby Center that these cravings women experience during pregnancy are related to hormonal changes. So blame your hormones the next time you'll ask for something sweet or something sour.

But more than just the hormone-related thingy, I also read from somewhere that cravings are linked to what your baby needs. Let's say, you suddenly get addicted to citrus...that means your baby might be needing more vitamin C. In my case, I find KitKat Milk Chocolate a great buddy during pregnancy. But this little creature inside of me don't just settle for anything sweet. He actually did not like Magnum Ice Creams. I threw up in the bus after eating my Magnum. That was an embarrassing experience.

How about you? How's your craving?
