Slice High St.

We continued our Sunday family day at BHS. It's a good escape from crowded malls plus we love it here because my little girl can freely scream, run and play. Also, the weather was something we really wish for, giving us cool breeze even at 2pm. That's very unlikely in Manila.


I was already looking for coffee or pastry shops before she tires out her energy running here and there. She will most definitely ask for something to eat, so I should come up with a plan before she says the magic word. Good thing, SLICE was just right behind us.


Sadly, I couldn't spot a free table outside. Gusto ko pa naman sana ma-enjoy yung libreng hangin. It turns out that being seated inside was way better. I really loved the color scheme, anything in green to me is "queen-like", that elegant! It made the shop look more calm and restful, everything was so appealing.


I asked Mom to check out the cake displays and gleefully suggested to try the Double Choco Yema cake. Insert "magugustuhan ni Daphne yan kasi chocolate!". It was my first to hear a "yema cake", too sweet I suppose, but we gave it a shot. They ran out of Banoffee pie so I replaced it with Brownie Sundae. Sugar treats!


Double Choco Yema Cake Php240
Two words: THE BEST! It was thick, moist and decadent. It was a generous slice, my pictures don't give justice. And I was too quick to judge, the cake wasn't even sweet at all. In fact, it was the chocolate that neutralised the sweetness. I'm happy that my daughter approved this order as she clearly enjoyed every bite. The three of us shared one slice and we could hardly finish it. It was that rich! I suggest you order this when you visit SLICE and grab someone to share with. I also have to mention that right after this cake was served, three tables had the same order.


Brownie Sundae Php220
I describe it as "milky-chocolatey" and the brownie bars were chunky. I used to combine cake and ice cream (regardless of the flavors) whenever we have both at home, so this one's a better version. Though if I was aware of the cake size, I'd probably just settle with the Double Choco Yema and add some fruit juice.


Yeah, drop those gadgets, talk to your seatmates and enjoy the good food. I'm happy with this random food discovery and will be back very soon. Let's try the healthy burgers and salads next time! :-)

My Little Lady Is Now Two

Follow @onegutsymom

Last week, my little lady celebrated her second birthday. Time flies so fast, I can still remember how I used to help her exercise her neck so she can slowly start moving her head. The best bonding moments we have were either on our bed or in her crib. Now, all she wants aside from drinking milk and eating her happy foods is to run as fast as she could and play with other kids. To support her with these, we allow her to engage to an active lifestyle and interact with kids at her age. 

Instead of giving her a party this year, hubby and I decided to take her outdoor. We left around 3pm and headed to Serendra. It's supposedly her scheduled nap time so she was very sleepy on our way there. Our first few photos can tell that she's not in the mood. But upon walking towards BHS, her face brightened up when she saw the spacious grass surface. There were kids older than her running here and there. Without further hesitation, she ran towards the middle not minding the scorching heat. Buti nalang mahangin and of course we prepared enough drinking water. Hanging flowers can also be seen so she picked random flowers which she held for hours. She was really happy and we were entertained looking how she mimics other kids. As in she would speak loud enough for everyone to hear in the playground!

 

We also took her to Cupcakes by Sonja and got her favourite red velvet and pistachio cupcakes. Week before that, we already asked her what she wanted to eat on her birthday and when I suggested spaghetti, she answered with a big OK and smiled! She must have enjoyed running a lot that it made her too hungry to almost finish a full plate of spaghetti. I know, in my heart, that she truly enjoyed this day. That joy is just fulfilling as a parent. I mean, we can give her  a fancy party but sometimes it's best to let our kids realize that happiness isn't always about material things. Though we provide them that, it's not supposed to be the basis of joy. We truly hope and pray that we can instill that in her heart and mind as she grows..

We love you very much, my darling, and we are so proud of your little achievements.

Life has been more colorful because of you..

Love,

Mommy
