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 ...

All Iz Good at 7107 IMF: Day 2

After a night of EDM and hiphop music, the next day of the 7107 IMF was expected to have a different crowd. This is my chance to bump into people my age unlike Day 1 where I felt like a wannabe teeny-bopper. haha! I can't even keep up with all the non-stop dancing and drinking like I used to during my techno rave days in Malate and Makati. We got to the venue around 2:30 pm and the front area of the stage was already crammed with people. There goes my chance of getting up close with the Red Hot Chili Peppers . But I still got my hopes high...even if the chances of meeting them were really slim. So we settled in the middle part, which we called our home base cos that's were we meet when we get tired of roaming around.  Since the only bands that I was interested in watching at 7107 IMF that night were Empire of the Sun and RHCP, I ended up hanging out with some of my pals who I haven't seen for years.  Finally! Some people I can relate to...and they luckily got t...

Yehey for Yedang Korean Restaurant

My sis invited us for dinner to celebrate the birthday of her hubby and when she mentioned Yedang...I got excited because I have read a lot of good reviews about this restaurant and was even planning to eat there for my birthday if I had a bigger budget..but unfortunately I ended up buying vouchers for a Japanese resto to save up. Since I passed by that place before, we decided to go there ahead of my sis because my kid was sleeping. The guard was really nice to help us get out of the cab to the restaurant even assisting us with an umbrella. There was a small bench near the entrance for guests waiting to be assisted for their seats. I requested for a table for us so we can sit comfortably while waiting. The venue was nice even adding a Christmas tree to give that holiday feeling. The table has a nice set-up offering chopsticks and spoon (not ordinary looking spoon so there is still that Korean feel to it). They served us water with a hint of pandan which made it taste more refreshing...
