One Rainy Afternoon

I love rainy days. I like the sound of the rain falling on the roof while drinking something hot. Last June, when it was raining cats and dogs, Justin and I headed to my favorite hang out place in UP Village. We first went to Crazy Katsu for some delicious crunchy Chicken Katsu. For Php 145, a piece of fried chicken cutlet comes with a bowl of rice. You can add Japanese Mayo and Tonkatsu sauce for better appreciation. Trust me, they do make the chicken better. :)


Justin, about to dig in!


Mixing some Japanese Mayo and Tonkatsu sauce.

Since we were still a bit hungry, we went next door to a small coffee shop that sells/rents out old pocket books. Camille and I usually go there for some Pannacotta and I wanted Justin to try it too. I like hanging outside because it was a bit windy. We ordered a bowl of hot Pork Sinigang and Calderetang Lechon Kawali.


Their plates and bowls make the whole dining experience feel so homey.


Homemade Pork Sinigang with a cup of rice, The broth was yummy! It had just the right amount of sourness. I did wish there was more pork inside.


Calderetang Lechon Kawali. It came with three slices of fried potatoes ala Shakey's Mojos. This was definitely a winner! The thinly sliced crunchy Liempo accompanied by Caldereta sauce was really good. Portion was small but for the price, it was worth it.


Justin, writing his book.


Me, watching a movie using my iPod.


It was a perfect weather for a bowl of hot Sinigang!


A cup of Hot Mint Chocolate for Justin and a cup of Peppermint Tea for me. Actually, they don't serve any tea but since I always bring a packet of tea with me, I just asked for a cup of hot water.


Justin, enjoying his Hot Choco!


For the grand finale, their melt-in-your-mouth Pannacotta! The simplicity of this dessert makes it so memorable.


It was gone in just a few seconds!


Oh wait, there's more! For some reason, we still weren't full so we ordered a plate of Anchovy Angel Hair Pasta. The noodles were a bit overcooked but the sauce was fabulous.


The best of it all, our bill was only Php 280!! I will definitely come back! :)

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH.  Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan My s

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the

Hospital Packing List

I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes. I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready.  When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂 I divided the list into 3 categories: Mommy Daddy Baby I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our baby gi
