Best Apple Pie in the Philippines

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.

MyHealth Clinic Takes Care of My Health

Getting sick is a real pain in the *** but to wait for a long queue in discomfort and end up with a list of expensive medicines to  buy would definitely make anyone feel more sick! I was glad I have a health card from work so that lessens my worry about the check up and laboratory expenses. I usually go to Medical City Clinic in Trinoma and Waltermart for the check-up but my experience there was not really that good especially in Waltermart, Munoz. The nurses there and attendants seem so laid back (which is a better term for being lazy) and busy chatting with each other. I waited for a long time (around 30 min.) just to have my Maxicare approved and after that I went to the nurse's station to give my papers but the girl was busy on her phone so the guy beside her placed my paper on her table and told me to wait for my name to be called. So I waited for my name to be called and it was almost an hour. I was really wondering why it would take that long just to have my blood extracted ...

Teresita's Halo-Halo and Palabok: Perfect Pinoy Merienda

My mom always brags to me how delicious the halo-halo is at Teresita's that's why I decided to give it a try after a hectic Saturday of hopping from Waltermart to Trinoma and back to Waltermart again. I was supertired, hot and thirsty so the perfect snack would be halo-halo. Teresita's of San Fernando is located at the ground floor of Waltermart in North Edsa. It is near the entrance and supermarket which makes it hard to miss. Parents can also relax there while kids play at the nearby mini-play area.  We ordered 2 regular halo-halo which is worth P85/each and palabok worth P85 too.  I was expecting to get the typical halo-halo with 8 to 10 ingredients, but was surprised to just get three main ingredients which are sweetened banana, macapuno and leche flan plus milk and ice of course. It was all new to me so I was not satisfied at first. I was waiting for the crunch of the pinipig but there was none. As I eat it, I started to enjoy the smoothness of the texture an...

Having a Sweet Life at Discovery Suites

Having a vacation can be stressful at times ...the hassle of packing things, traveling far, traffic and unpacking. That's why more people choose to spend their weekends at the hotel which is more convenient and stress-free. There are lots of online discount deals now giving up to 50% off on hotel room rates, which means that the market for that is increasing. If I got the moolah then I would definitely get a voucher because hotel life is really sweet! My sister invited me, my kid and mom at Discovery Suites because she got a free overnight stay there. Maybe  this was a freebie from booking a 3-bedroom suite and 2-bedroom suite for my niece's debut last year. Discovery Suite has a great location being situated right in the heart of Ortigas Center. Just across Podium Mall and ADB. St. Francis Square, Robinsons Galleria and SM Megamall are just a few steps away from the hotel. So if you get bored, there are lots of things you can do nearby like shop, watch a movie, play billiards,...
