A Maple On Your Pancake Would Do You Good

I adore breakfast. Who could just resist the sweet aroma of just cooked garlic fried rice and a side of longganisa or cheese omelette with ham or even just a perfectly cooked sunny side up egg sprinkled with some salt? Or even better, pancakes or waffles. Fluffy orbs dusted with some powdered sugar then slathered with butter and syrup. And if the flapjacks in question are as big as the plate it sits on, then I'll just jump on my feet and shout for joy.

Slap Those Cakes On The Griddle

The title of this post is already a giveaway. In case you're still baffled why I titled this post as such, those little pancakes you see in photo (both in rakish white and brownish green color) being heated on the griddle were at Slappy Cakes. And we had so much fun making those little concentric circles and putting the garnishes on top once we're satisfied with the doneness of the flapjacks. But I tell you more about that later.

FACE-OFF: Breakfast Places To Warm The Heart

I guess everyone would agree that a good meal (or make that an outstanding meal) may totally eradicate one's blues. But a good brekkie meal may lift you up to celestial heights. I've been going to a few breakfast places lately trying out that quintessential breakfast food. Those fluffy, heavenly discs best serve with some sprinkling of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, a slab of butter and drizzled with lots and lots of syrup. I'm talking about of course, the much heralded pancakes. A classic breakfast meal wouldn't be complete without them. 'But how about the sinangag (fried rice)?', you might ask. 'Certainly a classic Pinoy breakfast meal wouldn't be complete without it?' Well, I might talk about breakfast meals Pinoy-style on a future post. For now, the pancakes and other brekkie food will be the main focus.

To Be On This Side Of The Picket Fence

I'm always enticed by food places that are kid-friendly. Stacy's for one, and also Mom & Tina's. When I've learned of a newly-opened ice cream parlor named Picket Fence Milk & Ice Cream Bar in Katipunan from Dessert Comes First, I immediately set about plans to pay the ice cream shop a visit. And that actually happened just this weekend before Christmas.

A Milky & Sunny Weather All Day, Everyday

I favor breakfast food more than any other meal of the day. It's good way to jumpstart your day and breakfast food has a way to fuel you to brace yourself for the tasks that lies ahead. I admit, though, that I wake up fairly late so I wasn't able to enjoy it on cafe-restaurants that only offers breakfast food at a certain time. I'm still working on my body clock to wake up much earlier and savor the goodness that is breakfast. For the meantime, I'm thankful to those food establishments that offers breakfast meals all day. Like this shabby chic breakfast place in Kapitolyo, Pasig aptly named Milky & Sunny.To people like me who like breakfast but still find it quite a hassle to wake up early, this is great news.

Karen cooked up a surprise for our friend, Erika for her birthday. It was a perfume set, not sure if its a Victoria Secret line or Elizabeth Adler, but it was placed in this lavishly decorated package which my friend Karen is always known for.
