Scarsdale Artisanal Delights

          Last year, Scarsdale opened their second branch at SM City San Lazaro - located just beside Starbucks (which made me glad, 'cause S&R Mandaluyong is just too far from my flat).

Despite of having such limited space, it doesn't jeopardize its ambiance (you'll see how cozy and photograph worthy their context is). For some who hasn't heard yet of Scarsdale, they offer not only artisan made doughnuts, croughnuts and coffee, but also scrumptious dishes. Read more:

Mega YAP4GRABS dinner at Dolcelatte

          Not just any dinner, I say. Not everyone probably know why I had such privilege of joining the table with Mr. Tim Yap. Yes, THE Tim Yap - actor, TV and radio host, columnist, club owner (Republiq, Opus, Prive, Aracama, 71 Gramercy, and the newly opened Valkyrie at The Palace) and etc..

Together with SM Megamall, YAP4GRABS is a way of giving back to their loyal followers. Fortunately, I was chosen to be one of the lucky MegaInstaGift Winners *yey*. Friday, January 9, the New Year dinner meet up happened at Dolcelatte, SM Megamall branch.

Dolcelatte offers an assortment of scrumptious cakes and pastries - I know you've heard or even seen photos of their popular croughnut all over the social sites.

But nope, these are not croughnuts. Those are Dolcelatte's double doughnuts.

Close To Perfection - Cafe Shibuya

          DESSERT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA. Cafe Shibuya is known for their Savory and Buttered Toasts and Ghirardelli Chocolate Drinks. Their bread-based dessert is synonymous to heaven. 

Have I mentioned that UP Town is by far one of the best places to dine with family and friends? I never thought I would love to visit this place almost every month and somehow I wouldn't mind how much it will rub out my pocket. Once in a while we have to coddle ourselves, yea?

J. Cuppacakes - Art in your cravings

          Indeed they have this fine and really cozy branch in Eastwood though I ain't exactly certain if ten or more people would actually fit in at the same time (?) Uhm. Anyway... does anyone of you know if they do offer breakfast food, pasta and sandwiches here? 

As far as I remember, my sister and I came here for a cupcake and a cup of tea. Yes, it's dark in a cold December, and we've got these to keep us warm! Haha No matter how delightful the other flavors were I always end up buying their red velvet - yup, sucker for Red Velvet.
