i sea salt

yesterday, i had my last piece of chocolate covered dark caramel with sea salt. :(

i received a small box of this from friends half way around the world... what a treat.

i am now officially addicted to chocolate and/or caramel + sea salt.

the best combo, of course, is chocolate macaron + sea salt, which i had once in lusso.

die, die, die.

all chocolates should be sprinkled with sea salt, me thinks.

sweet!

hola, sis!

sorry I've been an absentee.. i've been quite out of it.

anyways, here are what have been waiting for you in our kitchen...

(1) custaroons...

imagine coconut macaroons but this time more custardy, cheesy and creamy.......

(2) custaroon "poppers"...

now imagine chocolatey fudgy balls....

and inside are the custardy, cheesy, creamy custaroons (!!!)

(3) from twinpopyale: cadbury with creme brulee filling....

come over quick!!!

dulce gatas

damn this tub!  it's been in the way of my diet for the beach.

it's kat-kat's dulce gatas from silay, negros.  i can only describe it as a tub full of sweet and chunky pastillas-yema-like gunk. 

you eat it with a spoon... i can imagine it goes well with ice cream... 

uggh!

berry berry!

hi sis!!!!  happy new year!!!!!!!!  i'm back!

wow, we've both been gone quite long, and in two velly different worlds.  i have a slue of stuffs to show you... but let me start of with the last photo i took...

didja get to eat berries in the mountains?  i know you love 'em! 

but anyway, i brought these home!  can't get any sweeter than japanese strawberries...  they're HUGE and SWEEEET.  

they actually come in 2 kinds -- "hard" or "soft".  i prefer the softer one (cheaper too!  approx P300 per packet).  so if you want some, come over before i finish them all!

couldn't get enough of them... this one i bought in a mini mart... it looks like a small siopao -- it's actually mochi wrapping with sponge cake + cream + strawberry.  their version of the shortcake!  mmm!

then this strawberry tart in a cafe...

these i ate already....

oishi des!

berry sweet

speaking of sweets & berries, yesterday i trekked to the urban bazaar (outside lang, didn't want to pay the P100 entrance fee hehe) to finally taste iloveberries.  it's frozen yoghurt, and i discovered them through multiply.

in fact, heart2heart featured them thanks to me (bida).

i had banana + cornflakes topping.

i loved it.  reminds me of that milk & banana dessert 

we used to make when we were kids!

i'm hooked on frozen yoghurt ever since i tasted pinkberry in nyc.

i LOVE pinkberry. cute store, yummy stuff.
