daily delights to love: Food Escapades

'Just enjoyed this sumptuous SAUSAGE PLATTER from the newly opened POCO Deli at the Ayala Triangle!

My husband and I fell in love with this Apple Charlotte ala mode from Elbert's Steak Room! It surely made my day!

Sticky Cinnamon Buns! I used my No-Yeast Cinnamon Bun recipe and baked my buns on a pan with 4 T melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts! Love these buns!

'Had this tasty Light Cajun Chicken Sandwich at the restaurant of Santi's Deli! Loved it!

For our weekend treat, I baked a Carrot Cake with coconut,walnuts and pineapple! So MOIST!

Draft Gastropub's YUMMY Sticky Date and Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce and Vanilla ice cream!

'Had Sticky Date and Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream at Draft Gastropub! I could easily take 2 of this! 'Downed it with Gastro Pub's huge cup of Americano coffee! Heavenly!

Being a chocoholic, I bake a lot of choco yummies like these Chocolate Spritz cookies! I made this a bit healthier by using whole-wheat flour. I also had a blast using my cookie press making all these floral shapes!

I got to enjoy today a Dark Chocolate Bark with Hazelnuts from Chocolate Fire ! Yummmm!

For the past rainy days, I made this Chocolate Cake with Natilla Filling to nibble on!

I cooked this salmon in parchment paper and it turned out superb! I loved the sesame oil, soy sauce and ginger taste of this dish!

Yup! Definitely my downfall- cinnamon buns from Cinnabon! Our staple choices: Mini Chocobon for me and the Caramel Pecanbon for my hubby! Simply Heaven!

Celebrated Father's Day at Crustasia Restaurant- delicious asian food! If you like spicy food, this is the place to go to! I tried out their Vietnamese coffee and found it very interesting!! There was a hint of chocolate taste to it! When I asked for milk, they served me some condensed milk. I am not so familiar with the Vietnamese culture but maybe they pair coffee with this kind of milk.

A staple buy in our home are baked goodies at Sweet Ideas, especially their blueberry Cheesecake! A little bite goes a long way!

Just had a tasty meal at Romulo Restaurant at Scout Lazcano, Quezon City. I'll surely go back and order again the Flying Tilapia dish and Sigarillas with Tinapa! (I also have to say that I enjoyed the 3 kinds of sauces that went with the fish!) Romulo's Crispy Crablets surely tickled my appetite too!

I was able to taste again this all-time favorite from the bakery of Baguio Country Club, its Raisin Bread. Super moist and so full of raisins!

Made these Bourbons today for dessert! Upon the request of my hubby, I laced the filling of his cookies with Jack Daniel's whisky and left my cookies without any kick. I ate my bourbons with a scoop of coffee flavoured ice cream!

Got to enjoy a fave food today: UKOY! Mine is all vegetable ukoy- I used squash and carrot for this recipe. Guess what I ate it with? A cold glass of Coke! (UKOY recipe)

Got to taste this delicious special ensaimada- with chunky cheese bits homemade by Jed D.! Enjoyed it with my hot cup of coffee!

Enjoyed the Tiramisu and Capuccino at the Ooops! Beach Cafe,Alona Beach, Bohol! I hope to go back for the other pastries someday-soon!

Perfect fish dish! Sesame -crusted tuna at the Oasis Restaurant, Alona Beach, Bohol! Happy Easter!

Can't just get over this Spicy Korean Short Ribs from The Oasis Restaurant at Alona Beach,Bohol! I hope to replicate this at home!

Got to enjoy these classic desserts from Banapple: Pecan Pie and Blueberry Cheesecake! DOUBLE YUM!

'Had this today at Chili's-their new menu item: Mushroom Crispies, deep-fried shitake mushrooms spiced-up with cilantro and served with cilantro aioli! My hubby even thought he was munching some oysters!

Last Valentine's Day, my hubby and I ate Crispy Pata and Kare-Kare as separate dishes. Little did I know that I will be able to eat both served as a single dish!! Feasted on it at Villa Restaurant in Makati with my Mom! The dish came with a separate bowl of Kare-Kare sauce! We ate this with Tinapa and Pineapple rice. Super enjoyed my lunch!!!

Super-happy and definitely FULL after eating all these all-time comfort food from Dencio's Restaurant: Crispy Pata (Deep-Fried Pork Leg), Kare-Kareng Gulay (Vegetables in Peanut Sauce) and Garlic Rice! All dishes came with all the works: shrimp paste for the Kare-Kare and soy sauce with vinegar, kalamansi and red peppers for the Crispy Pata! I love Valentine season!!

This mouth watering Chocolate Cake has beets in them!!What a scrumptious way to have vegetables in your dessert! Sha used the Chocolate-Beet Cake recipe of David Lebowitz to make this YUM cake!

Beets are a good source of Vitamin C & potassium. They also provide vitamins A and C, calcium and iron,. They also add fiber to one's diet.

Can't help but swoon over the rich taste of this cheesecake by Mary Grace! I am definitely hooked!

After seeing Papa John's Pizza around the city, I finally got to taste it today!

My husband ordered the All-Meats Pizza!
Well, some surprises came with it like the 2 green chili's you can see at the left-hand corner and a small tub of garlic-dipping sauce! Got to enjoy the pizza too with a bag full of red pepper flakes!

Loved the Magnifique Chocolate cake at Impressions Restaurant, Resorts World!
