Fun Halloween 2016

I HAPPY I HALLOWEEN

Last year, we had fun with our babylove's first Trick or Treat. We went home with two big pumpkin baskets loaded with chocolates and candies! Even if babylove slept most of the time (was it boring for him?), and did not fully wear his little devil's costume, we still had fun together. Here are some of our photos.

Weekend Family Day Breakfast at IHOP

It was another fun family day for us after shooting our toy hunting video for our YouTube channel, FUNdipity. We are not a breakfast person but, that week, we craved for some pancakes, ham, and hash browns! So, we decided to visit the IHOP BGC branch after our shenanigans ;)

Everything we craved were all at the IHOP and we were really satisfied after our breakfast food trip ;)

Awaken the Child In You at Morelli's Gelato

These Italian desserts that originated in the UK by the Morelli's family are made with top quality ingredients which made their ice cream business a huge success for over 100 years.

Celebrate Love at Applebee's Grill and Bar BGC

We recently celebrated our anniversary at the Applebee's Grill and Bar in Bonifacio Global City branch and we had a very pleasant dining experience. The staffs were all friendly and very accommodating when it comes to our needs. Applebee's BGC is located at the ground floor of W Global Center in 9th Avenue just beside its sister company IHOP and California Pizza Kitchen.

IHOP New LUNCH and DINNER Menu

 

Mommy Eichel was recently invited to try the newest menu in International House of Pancakes or IHOP - one of the most famous restaurants that hits the Philippines' dining arena in 2013. This American favorite and all-day breakfast restaurant continues in spreading happiness by serving more than just breakfast. Now, they already have lunch and dinner with a Filipino twist, an even greater variety of options for those mealtimes in addition to the familiar IHOP classic dishes which are available throughout the day. Soon, IHOP will also be a Filipino favorite restaurant.

IHOP Meals Perfect for 2 for P499 only!

 

One fine Sunday when we visited IHOP BGC for our family day.  We saw their offer IHOP Meals Perfect for 2 for P499 only and got curious about this amazing offer. Promo consists of 1 Appetizer for sharing and 2 Main Dishes from their wide array of hearty meals from starter and entree.

Choices for Appetizers from popular IHOP staples:

2 pc. Tacos

House Salad

Monster Mozza

Onion Rings

Seasoned Fries

For the Main Dishes we can choose from:

Spaghetti Bolognese

Bacon Mac & Cheese Pasta

1 pc. Chicken Rice

Longganisa Scrambler Rice

Corned Beef Hash

Angus Burger Steak Rice

We had a hard time choosing from the selections until we ended with Monster Mozza, Angus Burger Steak Rice for hubbylove, and Bacon Mac & Cheese Pasta since I enormously love cheese.

5 pieces Monster Mozza really made my day. I love these yummy fingers and I simply just can't get enough of them. Babylove enjoyed munching these crunchy monsters. Definitely a must-try. 

Bacon Mac & Cheese Pasta is sooo creamy and tasty. Kids and adults will surely love these pasta partnered with the fresh and crunchy garlic bread. The bacon is another bonus since the pasta itself is already a winner.

Angus Burger Steak Rice was also a great choice. The juicy and tasty burger steak was perfect with the buttered corn. Every single bite was pure love. This is also a must-try.

After we ate, we realized that what we ordered were exactly in the promo banner. We didn't cheat, honestly! It was really a no cheating policy and it was our taste buds' intuition who chose for the perfect meal for 2 hihi!

We are just hoping that this promo will be extended since it will only run until the end of August 2016.

Family Day at North Park

Few weeks ago, we found ourselves dining at North Park Noodles with our favorite Chinese dishes. Since it was quite hot outside then, we skipped our favorite Aniseed Beef Tendon Noodles Soup and ordered rice and two viands instead.

CPK Pizza Wars 2016

Last week, Mommy Eichel was invited to join the CPK Pizza Wars 2016 at California Pizza Kitchen Shangri-La Plaza. It was a great opportunity to witness this second run of culinary adventure and be one of the first to try the newest addition to their pizza menu through CPK's annual Pizza Chef competition. And for CPK, making a pizza is not a job, it's a passion.

Weekend Love with CPK at Greenbelt 5

 After our fun family day in Makati, we headed straight to California Pizza Kitchen in Greenbelt 5. We are all pasta lovers and we did not let our family day pass without having our fave dish.

I love creamy sauce so, I had the Spaghetti Carbonara (P350.00 Personal) which I enjoyed the most. This creamy white sauce spaghetti pasta has Nueske's Applewood smoked bacon, peas and parsley tossed in Romano cheese cream sauce. We were surprised that our babylove enjoyed it, too! He always go for the red sauce spaghetti but that time he savor the white sauce pasta with me.

Hubbylove ordered Spaghetti Meatballs (P350.00 Personal) since we love their Marinara sauce and the Italian meatballs. Babylove enjoyed it too, since it's a bit sweet and the taste is perfect for kids as well.

For our little man, we got the Pepperoni (P185.00) from CPKids. This cutey pizza was served with either Iced Tea, Milk or Chocolate Milk. We opted for the Chocolate Milk and we all loved it! Yes, we tried it, too! Hihi ;)

Along with our pasta, we ordered the BBQ Chicken Sandwich (P325.00), made with original BBQ chicken, cheese and huge onion rings and freshly baked foccacia bread. This sandwich was served with the yummy and crunchy fries of CPK.

For our dessert, we had The Elvis Pizza (P225.00) - this pizza was one of the finalist from the CPK Pizza Wars and it was inspired by Elvis' favorite snack. We got curious that's why we tried it. This amazing thin crust pizza is a combination of sweet and savory taste. It has peanut butter, banana and bacon topped with peanut sauce, candied walnuts and generous vanilla ice cream. 

It was always a great dining experience with California Pizza Kitchen and you should try it, too!

Lydia's Lechon Timog Branch

The newly relocated Lydia's Lechon Timog Branch is just a few meters away from the old location. And, this is probably my favorite branch so far because of the great ambiance and the nice interior, not to mention the great food (as always), and friendly staffs.

Beautiful Boracay

Sharing our photos of the beautiful Boracay during our #BoracayLove family vacation.

Boracay Love (March 2016)

It was for Skye's 2nd birthday when we visited the beautiful island of Boracay in Aklan province last March 6-9, 2016. It was also our first time in the island since we are not a fan of beaches but, the moment we saw and felt the powdery sand in Station 1, we fell in love with Boracay. So, the following week after our 4 days and 3 nights stay, Daddylove Vince booked another flight for this year and we will be with our Boracay Love for 1 week (Woot! Woot!). Yes, we are definitely excited. Very much excited :)

Tokyo Tokyo Chicken Katsu

We tried Tokyo Tokyo's Big Chicken Katsu during our mall visit near our place. We saw a lot of customers enjoying this huge mouth-watering goodness. We chose the Chicken Katsu Sumo Meal with Tempura since we love Tempura. Good thing we opted for that meal instead of ordering two Chicken Katsu which was actually good for sharing. We had the Teriyaki sauce and it was really good. The strong taste of Teriyaki sauce goes well with the thickness of the chicken meat. It was indeed another happy tummy for us :)

Philippine's First Flying Attraction: Trampoline Park is Arriving to Manila!

In the recent years, the famous American concept of Trampoline Park has been a global craze in the U.S. and Europe with over 350 Trampoline Parks. In the coming weeks, it will finally arrive here in the Philippines! Yay! Are you excited to jump and bump and burn those calories from the recent Christmas and New Year celebrations? This will be another exciting and unique healthy activity for the health-conscious Filipinos :)

This will be the Philippine's first flying attraction with a giant warehouse filled with dozens of unique trampoline mats stretching from wall-to-wall and are connected to form one huge surface which is enclosed with padded side walls and angled trampolines – allowing you to jump, fly and literally bounce in every direction.
