Dining Review

Kat’s Cafe

I have been very busy visiting new and fun places to eat with my friend Jane.

I already shared about our visit to Manna Bakery, and about our visit to Coco Nails where I learned about yummy Kashimaki from Pink Wasabi.

You can look all around the shop and see bits and pieces of Kat.

During one of our outings with the girls, (actually on the same day when we checked out Manna’s cooking lessons) we were able to swing by Kat’s Cafe here in Las Pinas.

Kat explained to me that she always wanted a fun, quirky, themed room in her home growing up. Once she got her own shop, she decided to decorate and design the bathrooms this way instead.

Kat’s Cafe is super cute. It’s definitely “off the beaten path,” and I’m not so sure I would have been able to find it, if I wasn’t with Jane. It’s smack in the middle of BF Resort Village occupying two separate spaces in a strip mall, because they outgrew their first spot.

The girls are trying to decide which drink to cool off with.I went with a hot chai tea latte.

We had a little snack on the cupcake side of the shop (but ordered our coffee from the other side) and I noticed that Kat also sells pastas in case you wanted to take a savory merienda instead of sweets. I had the chance to sit with Kat for a bit and learn a little bit about her and her love of baking. I found her to be very soft spoken, sharing her love of baking, and how she went back to school to further her studies knowing fully well that she wanted to open up a little shop where she could express her creativity.

I liked that her cake was dense but not dry. It was also easy to say yes to the kids when they asked for seconds because both the cake and the icing weren’t overly sweet. When I have cupcakes (and even when I make them) there has to be a balance…if the cake is sweet, then the icing should not be overly sweet, and vice versa. 

Even the salt and pepper shakers have so much character! I love it! Kat shared that she picked these cuties up at Rustan's.

Cupcakes cost P65, but if you buy a half dozen they are P60/each. For just a little extra you can choose to order your cupcake without icing and decorate it yourself. (P100) Cupcakes come to the table with a choice of three different icings and a variety of toppings placed in plate that resembles a painter’s palette…perfect for decorating and again expressing Kat’s creative side. Kat explained the different kinds of icing to choose from (chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and cream cheese) and even gave a quick lesson on how to decorate with the different tips and sprinkles.

I love this plate! How cute is it that it looks like a painter's palette?

Kat and her hubby Joseph are hands on with the business, and it’s obvious that they love what they do. With Joseph taking charge and personally preparing our coffees the way a barista does for someone very special, and Kat demonstrating and teaching the girls how to decorate their cupcakes for their activity, it’s clear that their attention to detail is in every aspect of the shop

K is for kitty...I mean Kat :-) Thanks Kat for having us!

If you would like to visit Kat’s Cafe, place an order for pick up, or simply stop by for merienda, check out her Facebook page for more information on how to get there.

It’s December 1st! Is there anything more delic It’s December 1st!

Is there anything more delicious than the smell of Christmas and the new found freedom as we anticipate celebrating the holidays with our families again?

@festivalmall has hosted a series of musical shows since November 5th that include Ace Banzuelo and Silent Sanctuary. Check out Michael Pangilinan on December 10th, too!

With Santa visiting, Christmas parties, arts and crafts and lots of promos, you can even enter for a chance to win a Toyota Fortuner!

Best of all-I love it when the places we know give purpose to their celebrations. Thank you #FestivalMall for partnering with @dsapi1  this holiday season. 

Thank you for sharing all the different ways we can celebrate the holidays with you!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
