K&L Cafe | From Baguio to the Metro

Looking for a wooden-modern-rustic-cozy atmosphere? Some of us think it can only be found in Baguio, but last October a place called K & L Cafe by Blushing Cupcakes brought Baguio to the Metro. This modern rustic cafe is located at White Plains in front of Pan De Amerikana.

Sisters Karen and Loren are the owners sharing their childhood memories of Baguio from the interior to the ingredients of their delicious food. They aim to reenergize the body and mind with their food. K & L Cafe is also the sister brand of Blushing Cupcakes which specializes in cupcakes.

In a little spot you can buy some of Baguio favorites like peanut brittle, strawberry wine, mikasan chocolate flakes, Baguio Honey, Choco Tablea and even things like walis and bayong. No need to travel 6 hours just to buy that Baguio favorite, now you can have it faster.

Menu. I can say that I like how they showed their menu, it's very simple but you can feel at home and closer to the place.

Now their food!

(Chicken and Mushroom - P185)

Here I ordered their recommended Chicken and Mushroom, all I can say is IT'S THE BEST! It was a good choice, a complete meal with mixed brown and white rice, sided with corn, carrots and greens. The mushroom sauce is the BOMB! For me it's the winner because I love sauces like this, it's like the one you can use in Carbonara. Plus the chicken is not dry and is well seasoned.

(Daddy's Bourbon American Ribs - P295)

While Kevin ordered another recommended dish which is the Daddy's Bourbon American Ribs. We were a bit wow-ed by the serving size because it's very generous. The meat is tender and very juicy and it has more meat than bones :) Again it is served with mixed brown and white rice, corn, carrots and greens. While the sauce for the ribs.

(Famous Strawberry Calamansi - P95)

I usually don't order drinks but the staff again recommended their famous strawberry calamansi drink. You may think the 2 main ingredients would not come great together but they are very refreshing! I liked the strawberry bits.

(Grandma's Iced Vanilla Milk - P95)

Another drink is their vanilla iced milk which has bits of chocolate on top. A very refreshing drink, feels like I'm home! I loved the presentation where you drink at small shot-like glass.

(Mocha Dream Cake - P70)

The three layered cake which was moist and delicious of course.

They also offer cheesecakes where sadly I didn't get to try, but i will next time! 

The price is just right for the quality of food they serve, plus their friendly and accommodating staff. The time we ate here good thing we saw one of the owners, Loren, very accommodating. I had a very fun time in this cafe. Kinilig ako for sure with their food! K & L Cafe definitely gave an awesome mark for me. Not only does the place gives that cozy atmosphere but SULIT every bite!

Skinpotions your best Skin Food

Some people are looking far and wide to find the best and effective whitening soaps to use. Most that we have in the market are a bit expensive, while some that are cheaper claims their products are effective but it's not. Last March I found this online shop called Skinpotions that provides organic and less pricey products. This is my second review (third transaction) about their products (i want to try everything! hahaha) Thankfully may skinpotions dito sa Molino where I can have a faster transaction. A shout out to Bernadette! :)

Below are the products I ordered

(Melon Berry Pop - P230)

This is my first time to try this product. Melon Berry Pop has active ingredients like fruit enzymes, bearberry, witch hazel extracts and papaya extracts which helps with the whitening process. It is said that it can lighten the skin as early as 1 week with intense micro peeling. It also has poppy seeds which assists on intense exfoliation. It is best paired with Pearl White Soap and used in the morning. The scent is wonderful!

(Pearl White Soap - P280)

Another first use. Pearl White Soap is one of the most bought product from Skinpotions as it shows effectiveness to most users in just one wash! Not only fairer but smoother and younger looking skin! Best used at night.

(Flaunt Thy Lash - P150)

Recently naputol eyelashes ko, I was so terrified na baka hindi siya tumubo ulit. I've tried castor oil and coconut oil but still nothing's happening. I opt to use flaunt thy lash again, my first use was good. It was effective on my lashes and now I hope and pray it would make my eyelashes grow again. The is applicator is like of from a lip gloss. It is applied on the lash line night and day for faster effect. The lash line may itch which means the hair is growing.

I'm very happy with my orders and excited to use them! I highly recommend Skinpotions, all of their products, worth the price!

Starbucks Dessert Fave

Desserts, sweets, cakes, ice creams, I've always been a fan of them. Tasting those icing that will melt in your mouth, the balance of sweetness and the joy of every heavenly bite. 

Last Wednesday before heading to Clark, Pampanga we stopped over Nlex for breakfast then sweets to boost up our energy. We're glad to see a Starbucks in the gas station and that's where we had our dessert. With this I will share with you two of my favorite desserts in Starbucks that I crave for.

S'MORES!!! First time I had this my heart melted with the marshmallow hahaha! THIS IS VERY DELICIOUS. It's made with a graham base with cream filled topped with melted marshmallow and chocolate syrup! The ingredients are generous and good for the price. You can opt to heat it before serving.

The Blueberry-licious Cheesecake! One of my fave dessert anywhere! Super sarap, there are bits of blueberry on top and in the cake itself.

Ayan inubos ko na lahat hahaha! Early morning dessert. I can't help myself from eating good food. I hope you get to also taste these amazing desserts in Starbucks! Till our next food adventure!

Frankie's New York Buffalo Wings Teaser

Have you ever tasted a chicken that its skin is so crispy, oozing with juiciness, and generous with flavors? If not then you should try Frankie's New York Buffalo Wings! For those who love buffalo chicken wings, here is what they can best offer you.

Frankie's was established at 2012 when a group of friends decided to take their love for chicken wings to the next level. Currently they have 12 flavorful chicken wings in their menu. I can say that they have the biggest chicken wings offered all over the metro!

Frankie's (in this post) is located at the Mega Food Hall 5th floor of Megamall. I've noticed among all the food stalls here Frankie's has the longest line! We've seen their review at Poptalk (we always watch it for new food adventures). 

We we're very intrigued to taste their flavorful chicken wings and ordered 2 flavors for both 1/2 dozen, Frankie's classic buffalo spicy and their famous garlic parmesan. The only downside is they don't allow 2 flavors for their 1 dozen so if you want 2 flavors then opt for the 1/2 dozen. For the classic buffalo wings you can choose your side dip, we had the blue cheese dip.

They also offer boneless chicken and boneless chicken with rice for those who wants ease while eating.

Wow! The chicken skin is very crispy and the spiciness is tolerable. You can smell the spice and the acidity but it's very good. Recommended for those who love spicy chicken!

All I can say so far is that this is the best garlic parmesan I've ever tasted! All the flavors are spot on and they are generous with the parmesan. With every bite you can taste the flavor and you'll want more. Definitely one of my favorites!

All in all the price is just the same with other chicken wings restaurants and the quality and quantity is right for the price. Definitely a win win situation :)

Bike Haus | Pedal Your Way To A Healthy Lifestyle

Ever wonder how Manila would be without pollution or traffic? People are not afraid to go out and smell the fresh air, lesser cars, hassle-free commute, safer roads to cross and what not. In the everyday hustle and bustle of traffic netizens struggle with time, leaving the house early just to get through traffic, looking for parking spots, less quality time and dinner with family, not enough sleep or rest as well. These reason gives us an opportunity for a quick alternative - BIKES!

Bike Haus caters to those who opt for a healthy lifestyle, a new hobby, and exciting activities. This awesome bike store is easily located at 39-A Kamuning Road, Quezon City near edsa, GMA Kamuning station and near Delgado Hospital. They have variations of bicycles you can choose from like children's bike, fixed gears, road bikes and mountain bikes. Accessories, bike parts, labor and tuning are available as well. Several brands they have are GT, Fireye, Maxxis, Haro, La Pierre, Scott,Origin, Shimano and a lot more.

Here are some pictures from the store :)

Brands Bike Haus hold.

Personally I love these Cohesion Bikes!

I will surely get one!

Prices are very affordable and people are accommodating. There's also a parking space for customers so don't be afraid to bring your car :)

Some local governments welcome bikers and their advocacies. Right now we have bike lanes, parking and bike rentals so we can be more involved in this healthy lifestyle! Bikes may be the trend now and will be much of a big help soon. Hooray for fresh air!
