Fries and Sundae on a Saturday

It’s Saturday and it’s loafing day. Yes, we are always in this ‘mode’ every weekend. And guess what. This is the first loafing event of our team for this year. And as always, it’s fun. Too bad we’re not complete (well, almost).

At first, we were all planning to have a lunch out. But due to lack of finances, inhibitions and a bit of laziness, we just decided to eat in the office.

Tired of the usual viands from our food delivery, we took a walk and looked for something different. We went to one of our favorite carinderia but unfortunately, it’s closed. So, we just went to Mang Bok’s. Then, after buying roasted chicken for lunch, our itchy feet drove us to Metrowalk for dessert. Yeah, we are all in the mood for ice cream.

For my dessert, I avoided having something with chocolate. So I ordered Peaches and Berries Sundae. Let me show you how yummy it is…

Peaches and Berries Sundae, as you can see it is a scoop of ice cream in syrup topped with cream and cherry. To make it more delightful and healthy, it was also adorned with peaches and a strawberry on the side.

Since I want to make the day more memorable, I finally gave my surprise announcement to everyone. But it’s not just that,  I coupled it with three orders of fries too.

My treat, of course.

The French Fries was served in big slices with the chili con carne and melted cheese on top. This dish is really sumptuous and will somehow transport you to the land of samba and salsa. Yup, you’ll be thinking of South America.

It was indeed a great afternoon. Eating with friends and sharing stories… What a good way to spend the weekend.  Thank God it’s Saturday…

Triple Treat

It was a fine sunny Saturday. The last day of work for the year 2007. Well, we are all definitely in a lazy mode that time since the holidays are coming and most especially because our dear supervisor is on leave. Anyway, we all thought of one thing: LOAF.

My colleagues agreed on going out for lunch. I was quite hesitant since I have already planned my budget and I gotta watch out for every spend since I’m saving for an important event on 2008. Yet, on the last minute I changed my mind and joined them.

We had our lunch at The Chocolate Kiss (click for menu), UP Diliman. It is a cozy restaurant located at the UP Alumni House. There, I ordered Oriental Pork Salpicao (pork tenderloin with garlic rice and sauteed mixed veggies), and Mango Juice.

I enjoyed eating my healthy meal. I called it healthy because of the veggies. hehehe… But what actually pleased me a lot is my dessert. The Chocolate Kiss Suite.

The Chocolate Kiss Suite is perfect for all those who have a sweet tooth. It is a serving of three different slices of sweet treats from Chockiss famous cakes.

For my dessert, I chose Devil’s Food, Prune Cake, and Kahlua Butter Cake.

Devil’s Food is just so sweeeeet. It is topped with a very thick icing that I thought I won’t be able to finish it. And yet, the choco fudge filling is very indulging that I didn’t know I’m already done with it.

PruneCake is something that I really liked. It has a hint of wine perhaps because of the prune. And, it is not very sweet. Something just right.

Kahlua Butter Cake on the other hand, is a blend of coffee, mocha and butter. Since I am no longer allowed to drink coffee, this cake has definitely satisfied my craving. hehehe…
