Brunch to girls night out

April 14, 2012

My best friend Leanne, Ate Kimi and I had long planned to meet up in Manila for brunch. When Leanne stayed in Manila for her 2 week insternship we took advantage of her free time. Finally, our plan to have brunch had pushed through! Undecided on where to eat we did some research and came up with... *drum roll* DOME cafe in Salcedo, Makati thinking we can walk around after we eat. 

I always pass by that cafe whenever I go to Glorietta from Taft. I'd have to say that the place really looks inviting to me. I like vintage interiors by the way. And Dome cafe fits my taste just right. They serve pastas, gourmet sandwhiches, salads, cakes etc.They also have a set of magazines to keep you company as you wait for your orders.  

My Order: Tomato-Basil Pasta with Grilled Chicken

Two thumbs up for this!

Beef Stroganoff 

We also ordered the Great Turkey BLT and Mango fandango shake as our drinks. The Great Turkey BLT was ze bomb. It tasted really good. Next time, I will come back to try their cakes. 

 

Sweet treats part 2

The food trip didn't stop last Saturday. It went on until Sunday. 

P had long promised to take me to Sophie's mom. And just yesterday, he took me there. Can you imagine how happy I was after weeks of longing to be taken in this fancy bakery? But it's not just a fancy bakery, I tell you. 

Sophie's Mom is a quaint little store situated in San antonio Village. It offers cupcakes, mochi balls, cake pops even breads too. Since it was our first time there we bought most of their best sellers. We wanted to try everything so we'd know what to buy on our next visit. We bought Red Velvet Cupcakes, Chocolate Cake pops and Frozen Brazo and Cookie dough mochis. We we're surprised at how cheap our bill was with our goodies. We weren't the only one surprised, even the cashier was surprised at how our orders kept coming. Hahaha! 

I love love love these cake pops! They tasted really good and inspired me to make one on my spare time. :)

I didn't have a photo of our mochi balls. But they were to die for! At the price of 40php, you wouldn't want to miss that! I swear! :)

This has got to be one of the sweetest weekend I've ever had. But none of it would have been possible without my favorite boy in the world. Thank you God for blessing me with someone like him. I am and I will be forever grateful for having him in my life. :) :)

Lunch at Romulo's Cafe

After graduation, we dropped by the condo first to search the net for a good place to eat because nobody made any reservation anywhere. We already planned to eat at Romulo's Cafe but my brother forgot to make a reservation. Since he was pretty persistent in having lunch there, we decided to give them a try and called them after we found their number. And guess what? We made it! We successfully made a reservation for 5! We left immediately since they're only open until 3pm in the afternoon.

My first reaction when we got there was, "I love their interiors". I seriously do. And being the photo lover that I am, I love the extensive display collection of Carlos P. Romulo's photos with his family in white, neat frames. Very classy. Their choice of furnitures and wallpaper add a bit of touch to the modern sophisticate vibe. The food was also great. You can tell that the place wasn't only designed to entice customers with their lovely interiors but they can also boast their own version of Filipino food. :)

Here are some of our photos. Will upload more tomorrow. :)
