I am not really a big fan of apple pies, but when I tasted the apple pie in A La Diane things have changed. My family and I used to go to National Bookstore in Quezon Avenue when I was still a kid to buy stuff for school while my dad buys some fresh fruits across National and my mom buys groceries at Tropical Hut. After buying school supplies, we relax and have our fave snack at this tiny restaurant beside National Bookstore called A La Diane. I thought it was a foreign owned restaurant since they serve pasta and different desserts, but it was owned by Filipinos. I really crave for their home made chocolates which I handpick and weighed in per gram. I love digging in my white paper bag filled with macadamia nuts coated with chocolate...yummy! I also can't forget the moment my tongue tasted the warm apple pie with butterscotch sauce drizzled over it. Oh wow! It's like eating freshly baked apple pie all the time. Too bad that A La Diane relocated and it was nowhere to be found. Years had passed before I was able to take a taste of the best apple pie here in the Philippines. My sister surprised me one time with a box of apple pie from A La Diane and it made me feel like a kid again remembering the good old times I spent with my family in that tiny resto. I took a big slice of the pie and added some butterscotch before I placed it in the microwave. Oh yes! Here comes the first bite and it definitely placed a big smile on my face. I can't wait to get another box of that apple pie again and now I know where to find A La Diane. The small box worth 300 pesos is surely worth it. You can check out A La Diane in their new store at Sto. Domingo St. cor. Sta. Catalina St., Quezon City.
Sorry that I have not been updating my blog post (as if someone reads it LOL). It's been almost three years I think since I last wrote here that's why I made it my New Year's resolution to fix up my blog and write more often. Don't be surprised if you see stories about my adventures for the past few years since I will be doing a lot of catching up. Let me begin with my Eastwood New Year Staycation. Why Celebrate New Year in Eastwood? I chose Eastwood City because it is closer to my place making it more accessible and there's a free New Year Countdown concert. I was considering Mall of Asia since they also have a free concert, but I already felt tired just thinking of my travel time and traffic. I originally booked a hotel near Ayala, Makati thinking that they still have a street party. After doing some research, I think they already stopped doing it for a few years now so Eastwood it is! Where to stay in Eastwood Eastwood Richmond Hotel is the most ideal p
