What I really love at Conti's

I know I posted this from my previous blog at wordpress. I really like my shots here so I just wanted to post it. ;) 

First thing I love at Conti's is their cheese puffs. I'm so into it that I can eat a dozen of it. It's so creamy and sweet! Oh, you gotta love that too! It looks like the usual empanada, but who knows, when you bite it, comes with a surprise! ;) Second thing I love at Conti's is their cakes! I know for sure, you've already heard the famous Mango Bravo cake. It looks really tall and bountiful, but I bet a slice wouldn't be enough for this mouthwatering cake. Third thing I really love at Conti's is their entree. They have different entrees to choose from, though they're a bit pricy, their food really tastes good! I was with my parents and two bestfriends, Aira and Nicel in this sumptuous lunch at Conti's Pastry Shop & Restaurant in Serendra. 
 Pastel de Lengua (P 250.00) – The fact that lengua is an ox’s tongue makes me not to order it. The presentation of the food is elegant. It just not look good on the outside, but also tastes good when it comes to your mouth!
 Roast Beef in Mushroom Sauce (P 295.00) – The sauce is good, the beef is tender. But i really don’t like and eat the tendon or ‘litid’ part. Though my tongue is satisfied for craving beef, this is not the best beef I ever tasted. Still, I’m wanting to go back to Highlands Steakhouse. I don't remember if that messy part of the sauce is for the rice or unluckily just had a fair food presentation.

Chicken ala Kiev (P 250.00) – It is like a cordon bleu without the ham. The taste of the herbs inside the chicken with the cheese was really great! The creamy sauce was a delightful combination to the chicken. I wish I was the one who ordered this dish, because this was really delicious! I guarantee you, this would be the best (or one of the best) cordon bleu ever! ;)
 Mango Cheesecake (P 70.00) – Just awesome. This slice of cake was enough for us as our dessert. We were really full from the main course and we are really satisfied for this single slice as our dessert. We didn’t ordered the usual Mango Bravo slice, which is the best seller of the restaurant. We already know its taste so we tried another. We have a bloated stomach after and left the restaurant with a smile. ;)

 My bestfriend Nicel with this not-so-vain shot. I miss you Nicel. By the way, she's on her on-the-job-training like work on California. She's there from March to June. Oh, I'm so jealous! :| I still don't have my Visa. Why?!
Hi :) This was my first picture edited in Adobe Lightroom... And I forgot to save it as preset. :|

Feel good

My plan for today is to pay for the oath taking tickets at PRC, have lunch at DLSU, then straight to Landmark to shop for a spaghetti strapped top and to pay for vouchers bought online. Well, the plan was going well until I decided to drop by at Forever 21 just to look for cheap items (anything below 500) just to have my very first F21 item. I saw a cheaper spaghetti strapped top here compare to landmark so I thought I could buy the top here. However, I saw this cute red top, and *boom* I really wanted it so badly. Also, I saw this red shoes that's so comfy and I really want it too! However, my money isn't enough for the 2 items, and I can't be too obsessive on material things. 

After about an hour, I decided to buy the cute red top and decided to give it to my mom as my Mother's Day Gift! Yay! And I'll borrow it nalang! ;) ***Pardon that chubby arms! 
On my way home, there's an old woman who entered the bus but there's no seats left for her so I let her to take my seat. Yay! She even offered to pay my fare, but I already paid the conductor and even if I didn't pay yet, I don't want her to pay for me for letting her sit. I felt so good to help others! :)

A Sweet Thought

I had a job offer at Ortigas and luckily, it's my friend's first pay day so he bought me a slice of cake at Mary Grace. He ordered the same cake and a cup of Chocnut Tsokolate. One thing I really love at Mary Grace is their Cheese Roll. And I love the fact that they put lemons on their service water! I really love it! :)
Black Velvet - P100.00

I was curious about this Black Velvet. Well, this is actually a chocolate cake with cream cheese layers. We all know the existence of the Red Velvet, and this Black Velvet is really a must-try! It was really good! ;)
