Me Love Ice Cream

Ice creams are one of those desserts that I absolutely love. It's cool, creamy comfort it offers are just enough reason for me to cheer up if I'm having a bad day. It's also a perfect armor against scorching heat. On a particularly hot day, I would usually buy a tub of ice cream. My favorite of the moment would be Selecta's Pistachio & Cashew. There were also times, right after our church service, a sorbetero would be just right outside our church's gate ready to scoop up dirty ice creams from his cart. Although calling it 'dirty ice cream' seems politically incorrect. It's just that those ice cream that we buy from the cart of a sorbetero has a distinct taste that one could not find with any other ice cream brands. If mamang sorbetero is not around, I would walk all the way to the corner of our street to get my soft-serve ice cream fix at Mini-Stop.

A Food Sanctuary Discovery

I always feel giddy whenever I try a new restaurant. The food establishment may not be necessarily new, more like it's my first time to try out the food of that particular establishment. So, you could just imagine how excited I was to try out Naci Comfort Food & Dessert Bar. I invited my friend Gael to join me. This was more like my birthday lunch treat. I got so excited it came to a point that I became unsure where the specific location of Naci is. All I just know it's near Amici in Connecticut Street in Greenhills. If I didn't open my phone browser and log on to Facebook and check Naci's address on their Facebook page, we might have gone elsewhere. Thanks to the good-natured guard whom we asked for directions where Fox Square Building is. Apparently it's also the same building that housed Conti's. Gael lightly scolded me because of my misguided sense of directions.

A Sumptuous Feast

It has been a while since I bonded with my friends Karen Anne and Jhen so I was really excited to see them again. It was an advance celebration of sort for my birthday since I have a work schedule on my actual natal day (boo!). So I decided to move the celebration a day before yesterday night instead. I've been head over heels with the delicious food I tried at Cyma Greek Taverna on my last visit so it was very easy for me to choose again Cyma as the venue for this special get-together with my friends. Since I've promised myself before that I would try the other delightful offerings here in Cyma, I deemed this would be the right opportunity to fulfill that promise.

Sweet Euphoria

Roca at Park Avenue Desserts

Having just a one day off can be a pain in the neck. The need to cram all the things that you need to do at a limited time can be a stressful thing by itself. To abate that, one must need to calm down, breathe slowly and seek solace on food that comforts you. Nowadays, my comfort food lean towards desserts and other sweet, sugary stuff. But I don't want just any other dessert this time. I wanted eat a dessert that's ravishingly good it would make me forget all of my current woes and worries.

Food Tripping At Megamall

I admit, aside from being one of the fashion mall capital of the metro, SM Megamall is also a food haven. Just a quick look at The Atrium area of the mall and you would see my point. A testament to this fact was when Megamall held their very first Mega Food Sale last year. I dined here quite a few times but there's still a lot of restaurants for me to try. Some of which have been here for quite a while but I was only able to try just today.
