Bunnyfied --- The Bunny Baker

Valentine's day is just few days to go and if you don't have a place in mind yet where to set your date, this cafe can be added to your sweet list. 

If your gf is "kikay" (if you are a guy) or you are someone who loves pink, you will definitely love The Bunny Baker. Ultimate cuteness -- that is what I can say for this cafe. Everything is so cute and adorable that it will remove all your stress away. 

Thanks to my friend Jane who posted a lot of things about The Bunny Baker thru Facebook. I got curious and surprised that its just near my place. So me and my sister went there for a Sunday coffee. 

The interiors are so girly and I loved the pink and bunny concept. The chairs were like bunny ears and the lights were like origami. 

I don't know if men will love this place cause its so girly but cmon! real men love pink :D and they will love their menu offerings.

The Bunny Baker is not only for people who has sweet tooth. They got a selection of pastas, all - day breakfast, soups, salads and a lot more.

My sister ordered Bunny Cristo 220php -- TBB's version of Monte Cristo; mozzarella, ham and raspberry preserve. That marriage of savory and sweet got me (yep my sister ordered it but I can't resist having a bite cause its so yummy)

Next, I ordered something listed for the kids and that was the Corndog duo 195php 

It may look simple outside but the corndog was outstanding! I hated corndog cause I bought one before from a different store and it was bland and too moist (this time, the smiley made me order it and I'm happy that I made a good decision)  It was crunchy and flavorful. Yes, the smiley made my day haha.

Then there was coffee. I ordered coffee mocha 140php and for my sister, matcha latte 175php. We were so lucky that the latte artist was there to put some art on our drinks. 

There was a lot of effort making my latte. Requested for Hello Kitty Bastardino but because of the foam, it got a little bit disfigured but cmon! its still there and I soo love it! but for the sake of those who can't figure out the image, here is the copy :D 

They will create whatever you ask. My bad I chose a complicated picture -- yah there's alot of spikes yikes! haha

Now for the desserts. We got full after eating so we didn't order for any dessert -- Just joking! 

We had TBB's cute Bunny Macarons 75php/each - Chocolate and Vanilla. 

and thank you for the Facebook Offer, aside from the macarons we got a scoop of FREE gelato. The promo is only up to Feb 21. and my choice of gelato?

Irish cream 110php/scoop

I love any food that has booze. Even my doctor advised me to refrain from coffee, chocolates and alcohol, this needs to be on my list (well one day won't hurt right? -- darn this heartburn lol)

Overall, the experience was great and the food was good. I will definitely go back (hopefully my acid reflux will go away ASAP) The staff were awesome! I couldn't ask for more. 

Sorry I forgot to ask the name but Jane called them Bunny Boss so I'll just post here my gratitude to Bunny Bosses Aila and Zach. Kudos to the cafe and keep on spreading happiness! 

By the way, TBB is also a cake studio. You can check the links below.

Starbucks' new hit for Summer: Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino

Last April 14, Starbucks announced its new line of drinks for summer. Mango Banana Frappuccino, Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino and Brezza Blend. 

Being an avid fan of caramel macchiato, I decided to try first the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino (whoa thats a long name for a drink). 

As stated on Starbucks' official site: Coffee blended with four kinds of caramel, milk and ice topped with a layer of dark caramel sauce, whipped cream, caramel drizzle and crunchy sugar topping.

I requested for a less sweet option by reducing the pumps of caramel. My friend who's a barista at Starbucks also suggested to reduce the dark caramel for less guilt. (ohhh I love being guilty with this drink) But since I'm a sweet tooth and I need to watch my calories I made some tweaking on the recipe. 

My verdict? It was heaven! I found my new stress buster. I got speechless after drinking it cause its really yummy and the crunchy sugar topping added texture to the drink. Its like having caramel frappuccino with LOADS of caramel in it. LOVE LOVE LOVE indeed.

Here is something to look forward guys. Posted last April 14 on their official Facebook page

but why wait right? Indulge! 

Perk up!

First blog for the new year! 

Another year has gone by and let's all be thankful for the challenges and blessings we received last year. Like what most people say, let's start the year right! 

For me, I'll start my blog featuring my favorite... C.O.F.F.E.E.

Starbucks' secret recipe is not a secret anymore. A lot of people are starting to demand those out - of - this world concoction and ideas from the website http://starbuckssecretmenu.net/ thanks to the contributors, they gave the customers another alternative to enjoy their favorite cup of joe. 

Now here is my take on the secret recipe craze. 

I call it, White Chocolate Macchiato. 

Getting the concept from latte macchiato which is milk "stained" with espresso, I can say that this cup is heaven. You will first taste the creaminess of white chocolate and milk then the strong coffee will perk up your mood. I still love my caramel macchiato, but this gave me another option to enjoy. 

They use the upside down arrow to indicate my request. When I was a barista before in SB, I usually get the ↑↓ with frappuccino drinks. (if you can't find the chocolate powder beside the milk carafe, you can ask your barista to just add it with the whip cream -- its for free)

After work, I decided to reward myself with free cheesecake... Free?!? yes! thanks to munchpunch, they got VIP deals where you can get freebies, upgrades from food establishments. Good thing Espressamente Illy got a deal  whenever you buy a grande americano or grande cappuccino, you'll get a free cheesecake -- nice deal right?

There's no Illy kiosk available in Eastwood Libis so I decided to visit Shangri la in Mandaluyong to get my cup of coffee. Illy is on top of my list followed by UCC and Starbucks but since SB is the only available coffee shop in the metro, I got no other choice.

For 155php, you'll get a biscotti (its not hard as rock) and a cup of handcrafted coffee made carefully by their barista. The free cheesecake (yes, I repeat it was free haha) was awesome and you will definitely ask for more. Espressamente Illy got 3 couches where you can relax if you want some peace of mind or you just want to unwind. Located at the 2nd floor Shangri la mall, near Marks and Spencer. 

Give yourself a break and have a cup of good coffee.

Its more than a cup can offer

Sunday morning, its rainy outside and my sister decided to hang out. I'm a coffee addict and one cup a day will never be enough. Just to get my second "caffeine - kick" for the day, I looked for a coffee shop inside SM Megamall.

I always loved Japanese coffee, so I decided to stay at Akiba Cafe while waiting for my sister. The barista gave me a warm welcome and offered Nutty Macadamia Kohi which he mentioned their best seller. I'm a little conscious with the sugar since it is already a flavored coffee so I decided to go classic: Tokyo Cappuccino (110 Regular 120 Large) 

♥ Great coffee and a great book together ♥

I enjoyed the coffee and the service. The barista remembered that I'm watching the calories of my coffee so he provided me brown sugar without asking :) I'm quite a keen observer with customer service which is one of the reasons I go back to restos and cafes I already visited.

I'm looking forward to visit them again :D I'll try Mt. Fuji Kohi next time
