Icing & Frills @ Vanilla Cupcake Bakery

@ Glorrieta 4,Makati, my daughters caught a glimpse of the frilly interior of  Vanilla Cupcake Bakery and instantly wanted to get in.

I got caught by the equally frilly cupcakes on display.. and right away gave-in to another high-sugar- laden

noon.

The girls fell in love with the doll house vibe of the cupcakery. The place being moderately empty that time was a haven for us who are easily discourage by painful queue. It was a day of a week after massively busy X'mas holidays. Exactly how we always wanted a place to be. That greedy, we love to own the place, haha.

I noticed the distinct presence of a particular brand of chair in every table in this cupcakery_ the Daphne's chair. I wonder if Ms. Daphne O. is the owner?

Then the cupcakes were served. Mine was the one in the small mayo jar. It's banoffee. Nothing's frilly to it. If there was, it was the icing. The cream was too much. I hardly finished the jar.



These two cupcakes were my daughters'. I didn't get the names. Also unfinished.

Sorry but those three we tried, we didn't like.



The packaging is superb thu'.

- my favorite yogurt, fair price

- popcorn, made from organic corn

- fresh fruit shakes, a glass in your hand while touring the market is very refreshing

-satay and other dishes from one of our Asian country neighbor

Organic Sunday Market

There's a Saturday market at Salcedo and there's this Sunday market at Legaspi. Both at Makati which by now, I think, are equally popular weekend markets.I guess, it depends on which day you are available_Saturday or Sunday?

As for me,I frequent more the Saturday at Salcedo. This was actually my first at Legaspi, although a friend has been mentioning this to me for the longest time.

So.. what dya' have here?

- Dried fish sans the foul smell

- Fresh fruits, premium quality

- Organic fruits

- Organic vegatables

- Organic sugarcane shakes

- Organic chicken essence, bottled?

- Organic farm carabao cheese

- Freshly baked breads, usually healthy whole wheat

-Chocolates, organic, in varied forms (powder,bars,cakes)

-Cooked Filipino dishes, ready to eat or take home to your lunch table

- Dimsums, yum!

- More dimsums

- Sausages, his favorite at Salcedo and how glad he was to find them here too

My kids found their favorites too and had to ask money from me to indulge

- Cotton candy,organic too?

Food tasting (common in all weekend markets like this)still rules as a marketing tool here. This works well, that many times I would end up buying on the spot when I shouldn't.

- Yogurt smoothie, such a delight to find one here

The highlight of our Sunday market at Legaspi was the eat- all-you- can-buffet lunch.Not bad for P200 only, you get to taste all the vendors' cuisines. All 60 entries, that was if you could put them all in one regular paper plate! It was just one way round.

With the plate came a plastic cup for a drink and a plastic bowl for the soup.

-My his plate. haha! In it were his favorite Filipino dishes. I told him_"sayang you have to try those international cuisines". Then bragged to him my plate.

-My plate. I put anything that were not familiar. At the end, sayang pala was my plate. It was hardly touched. My gustation was not working right

The place was jampacked with people, so we had to share a table with these strangers from Middle East who where raising their eyebrows while looking to my untouched couscous ( did I spell it right?)








See yah!
