Slice of Life

Hello! Hello! Happy July everyone! I am now part of the labor force. J So, I might have lesser time to blog, but be rest assured that I am still exploring different places and tasting different food to share to you all. J

To start of July, here are some sweet treats to munch on. If you have been following my blogs you would get a hint that I love sweets. Just recently my mom brought home cakes by Heny Sison from Victorino’s. Side info: Victorino’s is a restaurant located at 11th Jamboree St. corner Scout Rallos. It is a restaurant devoted to Ilocano (member of a people inhabiting northwestern Luzon in the Philippines) dishes. Also found there are pastries and cakes from Heny Sison.


So who is Heny Sison you may ask….only one of the best pastry chef and cake designer in the Philippines!!! J So tasting cakes from Heny Sison was such a joy and a treat. My mother brought home five cake slices namely, strawberry shortcake, red velvet cake, apple pie, blueberry cheesecake, and carrot cake. May I just gush that ALL the slices were scrumptious. I loved the strawberry shortcake and the red velvet. I enjoyed the shortcake because of the real strawberry fillings between the yummy chiffon and topped with whip cream (I think that they made their own whip cream because of the light consistency that married well to the whole cake. I also loved the red velvet slice because of the yummy cream filling. It was like eating a very good red velvet cupcake. The apple pie, carrot cake, and blueberry cheesecake were also good! I liked them because they were made with the real deal balanced with the right amount of sweetness. Tasting slices of Heny Sison cakes were so good!  Will definitely try more.

Last Friday Night: A Night at Mezza Norte!

Last Friday Night: A Night at Mezza Norte!

Last night was awesome!

Last night, my friends and I went to Mezza Norte for a foodie adventure and bonding time.

[BACKGROUND INFO: Mezza Norte is a food bazaar/haven where one can find different stalls of food. It is located at UP Ayala Techno Hub. It’s open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday every 6pm -3am]
Mezza Norte! :)

find your type of cuisine from the different food stalls

Jam-packed with people


Okay back to last night, so after a very busy week my friends and I thought of trying the pasta-all-you-can at The Old Spaghetti House at Techno Hub, BUT when we arrived the line was soooooo loooong. We then decided to instead go to Mezza Norte, thank God for Mezza Norte.

Mezza Norte was packed with people, despite of the rain. Entrance was free so it made my experience more fun. My friends and I decided to go around the different food stalls first before buying anything. By doing this, we got to see different dishes offered at Mezza Norte and we got to scout for empty tables and chairs. While circling the place, I saw buy-one-take-one desserts, Korean cuisines, Filipino dishes (particularly tapa), burgers, barbeques, burritos, tacos, Chinese dishes, pizzas, ice creams, and many more!! After two rounds at Mezza Norte and soaking feet, {tip: wear boots when visiting Mezza Norte on a rainy day} we decided to go for the burgers at Big Bob’s Burgers, but the line was long and when we asked it would take about 40 minutes due to the number of orders. So, instead we decided to go pika-pika (sharing food by buying small servings). I bought mini tacos from Taclings. My friends bought pizza (I wasn’t able to get the name of the stall but it’s in front of the stage J) and chicken from Dadi’s Berd.  We shared these and we loved the mini tacos. Afterwards, I bought dessert brownie mix with chocolate sauce) from Med Chef.

We went around for the last time to buy drinks. My friends bought tamarind juice and lemongrass juice while I bought milk tea. We stayed for a little while and listened to some live music then went home.

Last night was so fun! I’d go back to try the other stalls J
